Job description

Ready to hunt for talent?

We’re Deriv—a profitable, product-led company scaling fast in 20+ countries with 1,500+ people (and counting).

Our strength isn’t just in what we build; it’s in who we build it with. That’s where you come in.

We want partners in our mission - a talent scout with judgment, drive and the skill to spot what others miss. Someone who thrives on zero-to-one and pushes hiring managers’ expectations higher every time.

If you’re ready to challenge what a recruiting career can mean, and to help shape the future of Deriv, step forward.

Your mission

• Own hiring at scale: From Product to Tech, Commercial to Operations, you lead talent delivery for critical business areas around the globe.
• Leverage every recruiting weapon: Topgrading, Boolean precision, market intelligence, and sharp instincts - no stone left unturned.
• Don’t wait for applicants: You pursue. You engage competent talent who aren’t even looking.
• Set the hiring bar: Your hires make our business leaders ask, “Where did you FIND this person?”
• Build deep partnerships with hiring managers: challenge, advise, map and anticipate talent needs before they even arise.
• Deliver an unforgettable candidate experience: Be the reason someone says, “That was the best recruitment process I’ve ever had”.
• Drive decisions with data: Use metrics and feedback to continuously level up our hiring game.
• Keep every search focussed and every hire compliant - in your role, process integrity is non-negotiable.
  
  

What You Bring To The Table

• 5+ years of experience recruiting in fast-paced tech environments or related
• Strong sense for talent: across functions, levels, and geographies.
• Track record of headhunting, not just posting and praying
• Confidence, judgment, precision. No fluff.
