Job description

Great companies are built by people who consistently raise the bar.

We are supporting a confidential search for a high-growth technology-driven organisation seeking an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter. This person will play a critical role in identifying, attracting, and securing exceptional talent while driving hiring excellence across the business.

This is not a coordination role. It is a strategic talent acquisition position for someone who combines strong judgement, relentless execution, and a commitment to hiring outstanding people.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own full-cycle recruitment for technical and specialist positions.
• Develop and execute talent strategies that deliver high-quality hiring outcomes.
• Proactively identify exceptional candidates through targeted sourcing and market intelligence.
• Build robust talent pipelines before hiring needs become urgent.
• Partner closely with business leaders to define hiring requirements and challenge assumptions when necessary.
• Maintain rigorous assessment standards and objective candidate evaluation practices.
• Use recruiting data and market insights to improve decision-making and process efficiency.
• Influence stakeholders to prioritise long-term talent quality over short-term hiring speed when appropriate.

Basic Qualifications:

• 6 to 8 years of experience in technical recruitment.
• Proven track record hiring talent within technology, digital, software, fintech, or related industries.
• Strong sourcing expertise across passive and active candidate markets.
• Experience recruiting for engineering, cloud, infrastructure, product, data, cybersecurity, or similar technical functions.
• Excellent stakeholder management and consultative influencing skills.
• Ability to manage multiple searches while maintaining a consistently high hiring bar.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting fast-scaling organisations.
• Strong understanding of technical talent landscapes and competitive hiring markets.
• Demonstrated ability to assess talent beyond credentials and identify long-term potential.
• Track record of delivering measurable hiring impact in complex recruiting environments.

What Sets You Apart:

You are customer-obsessed, data-driven, and highly resourceful. You earn trust quickly, move with urgency, and continually seek better ways to identify and attract exceptional talent. You care deeply about quality, reject mediocrity, and understand that every hire can strengthen or weaken an organisation.

The Opportunity:

This is a chance to influence the calibre of talent entering a growing technology business. Your decisions will help shape teams, accelerate innovation, and contribute directly to long-term organisational success.
