Job description

Your career is an investment that grows over time!

Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by reimagining what it means to manage your money. Using smart technology, we take financial services that are often confusing, opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada, with over 4 million users who trust us with more than $50 billion in assets.

Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.

We’re not just looking for someone to fill roles - we’re looking for a recruiter who can help shape them. Someone who builds strong pipelines before the role is even open, partners with hiring managers like a trusted advisor, and runs thoughtful, fast, and high-quality hiring processes.

You know how to roll out the red carpet for both candidates and hiring managers. You set the tone, keep momentum, and never compromise on talent.

As a Senior Recruiter, you’ll work across both technical and non-technical teams—from engineering to marketing, product to finance. You bring a strong network, take ownership of high-impact searches, and collaborate closely with HRBPs, hiring managers, and internal partners to drive efficiency and clarity.

Most importantly, you understand our values and what it means to be a Wealthsimpler.

This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves solving hard hiring challenges, and builds trust through action. If you’re someone who sees around corners, communicates clearly, and gets things done—you’ll fit right in.

In this role, you will:

• Own full-cycle recruiting for high-impact, complex roles across tech and business teams—move fast, hire smart.
• Shape hiring plans that actually move the needle, partnering tightly with Hiring Managers, HRBPs, and Finance.
• Use AI and smart tools to speed up sourcing and streamline workflows—always keeping the human touch front and center.
• Bring a test-and-learn mindset: try, tweak, repeat, and level up how we use hiring tech.
• Lead intake and search strategy like a pro—drop market insights, data, and solid judgment that helps teams think ahead.
• Don’t wait for roles to open—build and nurture talent pools early with fearless, thoughtful sourcing in niche and hard-to-fill spots.
• Run hiring processes that are fast, inclusive, and smooth—for candidates and hiring teams alike.
• Own interview loops, debriefs, and closing with care and clarity—make every step count.
• Track KPIs and funnel health like a hawk; use data to catch risks early and sharpen hiring strategies.
• Help define what “great” really means—calibrate expectations, coach others on fair and long-term impact hiring.
• Represent Wealthsimple’s EVP with heart—tell stories that make candidates want to join our mission.
• Coach junior recruiters, share wins, and build a team culture of learning and growth.
• Lead process audits and projects that push TA tools, systems, and candidate experience forward—think scalable impact.
• Foster a recruiting culture that’s supportive, high-performing, and 100% aligned with Wealthsimple’s values.

Skills we are looking for:

• 8+ year track record full-cycle recruiting, with a proven track record in business hiring (e.g., operations, marketing, finance); technical hiring experience is a plus
• Skilled at building and running effective recruiting processes; defining clear hiring criteria, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring a consistent, inclusive experience
• Familiar with sourcing platforms, AI tooling, and modern recruitment technology
• Proven ability to take on complex searches, improve processes, and make measurable hiring impact
• Hungry, proactive, and resourceful; you embody our Wealthsimple values
• Naturally curious; you love digging into markets, talent pools, and trends
• Passionate about building a better financial future and making it accessible to everyone
