Talent Acquisition Lead

As we set our sights on global expansion, we need a talented Talent Acquisition Lead to join our small but mighty People & Culture team. This is a rare opportunity to make a massive impact on our company's future by bringing in the best and brightest talent. As our sole person in TA, you'll have the freedom and responsibility to own the entire recruitment process from strategy to execution. You know what an exceptional candidate experience looks like and can't wait to bring your ideas to life!

You'll be the expert on technical hiring for our Engineering and Product teams, but you're also a versatile pro who can pivot to non-technical roles with ease. If you're a person who thrives in a fast-paced & supportive environment and wants to build a world-class hiring engine, you'll love it here.

What You'll Do

• Be a strategic thought partner: Work directly with the VP of People & Culture and hiring managers to develop and refine our hiring strategy.
• Own the recruiting lifecycle: You'll manage the full-cycle recruiting process for both technical and non-technical roles.
• Build the foundation: You'll lead the strategy to optimize our ATS (Workable), creating and implementing interview guides, and developing training for hiring managers.
• Source top talent: Proactively find and engage exceptional candidates for high-impact roles.
• Champion the candidate experience: Design a delightful candidate experience to ensure every person has a positive, supportive, and transparent experience, regardless of the outcome.
• Experiment with AI & technology: You'll explore and experiment with modern recruiting tools, including AI, to automate repetitive tasks and optimize workflows-all while maintaining the personal, human touch that sets our candidate experience apart.
• Leverage Data: You'll own the recruiting dashboard, turning data and metrics into actionable insights that tell a clear story about our pipeline health and hiring efforts.

Who You Are

• An experienced recruiter: You have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with a strong focus on technical roles. Experience leading an in-house function is a bonus.
• Technically minded: You're not just filling roles; you understand them. You can grasp the nuances between different tech stacks and frameworks, recognizing that not all experiences are made equally.
• A market investigator: You're insatiably curious, always digging into new markets, exploring talent pools, and staying on top of the latest trends.
• A human-centred technologist: You're excited to leverage AI and modern tools to automate repetitive tasks, freeing you up to focus on what matters most: creating an exceptional experience for candidates and hiring teams.
• Adaptable: You can seamlessly transition between recruiting for a Staff Engineer to building a recruitment dashboard.
• Process-Oriented: You're excited by the opportunity to build and optimize our recruiting processes.
• A true relationship builder: You excel at creating genuine connections with candidates and hiring managers.
• An effective communicator: You communicate with clarity and precision, influencing leaders with data and insights.
