The role
The business is moving from a generalist recruitment model into specialist verticals.
This is the first dedicated Engineering recruiter, owning mid-level technical hiring end-to-end: Backend, Frontend, Full Stack, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and AI Engineers.
Who you'll work with
Engineering leadership is highly organised, structured, process-driven, and data-led.
They're collaborative but will challenge your decisions and expect you to back them with evidence.
This isn't a team that responds well to gut-feel recruiting.
What you'll do
- Own the full technical hiring lifecycle across multiple concurrent mid-level roles
- Use market data and recruitment metrics to shape hiring strategy and influence hiring manager decisions
- Push back on hiring managers with facts and evidence, not just opinion
- Build a repeatable, data-led process as the vertical stands up
What you'll need
- Proven track record recruiting technical talent
- Comfort partnering directly with engineers and technical leadership
- Fluency with recruitment data/metrics as a decision-making tool
- Resilience, this team will test your reasoning
Ideal background
large tech companies, high-growth SaaS/product orgs, or teams with strong data-led recruitment functions
