Technical Recruiter

• Overview
• Own full-cycle recruitment for a portfolio of technical and product roles — including Backend, Frontend, Mobile and ML Engineers, Product Managers, Product Designers and Data Analysts.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand team needs, define role briefs, and agree hiring criteria and process.
• Proactively source and engage candidates through outbound channels — building strong pipelines, actively exploring new candidate sources.
• Manage the candidate experience from first contact through offer, keeping communication sharp, timely and human.
• Use hiring data (funnel conversion, time-to-hire, source effectiveness) to flag bottlenecks and suggest improvements to hiring managers and the wider Talent team.
• Build and nurture a talent pool of strong candidates for future roles, keeping warm relationships going even when the timing isn't right.
• Stay close to the market — salary benchmarks, competitor hiring activity, and candidate sentiment — and share insight with the team.
• Support employer brand initiatives that help Apron stand out to engineering talent (content, events, careers page, job ads).

Requirements

• Continuous experience in a talent acquisition or recruitment role, with solid exposure to technical/engineering hiring (in-house or agency background both welcome).
• Confidence running full-cycle recruitment independently, from brief to offer.
• Hands-on sourcing skills — you know your way around Linked In Recruiter, online communities and crafting messages that actually get replies.
• Experience recruiting within a startup, scaleup or fintech environment, ideally in London, where speed and adaptability are the norm.
• A genuine interest in tech and product, and the ability to speak credibly with engineers about their work.
• Comfortable using an ATS and interpreting hiring data to inform decisions.
• Organised and detail-oriented, with the ability to juggle multiple live roles and hiring managers at once.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach — you\'re building your career in recruitment and want to learn from a small, experienced team while taking real ownership.
• Nice to have: experience hiring in a regulated or payments-adjacent business, or exposure to recruiting for AI/ML roles
