Talent Acquisition Partner

Job Description

At Capdesk, we’re about to rewrite the history books on how companies use equity to empower their people. By unlocking the power of equity, we can change finance for good.

With equity made more accessible, businesses can unite employees, owners and investors through shared success. It might sound revolutionary, but it shouldn’t. It’s about time.

In the last few years, we’ve quietly become a leader in our field, providing the easiest way for private companies to digitise their equity information and manage and issue employee equity schemes. There are no longer any excuses for denying employees a share of the wealth they helped to create.

We recently launched a first-of-its-kind secondaries market to take our mission even further. Now, employees can turn vested shares into equity as and when it suits them – no more waiting for the company to IPO.

Employee equity schemes have been broken for too long; it’s time to create a world where everyone can be a stakeholder.

Capdesk is remote-friendly, but more importantly team-first. We have amazing people all over the world but most of the team is split between Copenhagen and London where we still have brick-and-mortar offices. Applicants are welcome from every time zone within UTC -2 and +2.

We’re a lean team, so every hire is significant to us. We’re looking for each newcomer to strengthen our mission, our team and our culture – and challenge us to get better.

We completed an £8m Series A in March 2021, and we have over 1000 of Europe's startups and scale-ups using our software. We’re gearing up to go further, across Europe and beyond. That’s where you come in.

About the role

We all know it - the current recruitment market is crazy! Attracting and retaining talent has never been harder. With that shift in the market, there’s a lot of opportunity for us Talent Acquisition professionals to get creative and challenge the old ways of working.

At Capdesk, we have now come to a point where we need to expand our teams and accelerate our growth - in a sustainable way, of course. A big focus for us over the next quarters will be to build out our engineering and product teams, therefore we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner with a focus on tech.

The mission of the Tech Talent Acquisition Partner consists of two main areas: to provide the best recruitment experience for our hiring managers as well as our candidates, with the primary focus on engineering and product.

Together with our Talent Acquisition Lead, you will advise our hiring teams on best practices, find innovative ways to engage passive talent and ensure that our hiring standards and quality are kept high. you will also ensure that our candidates have an outstanding experience with us to keep on building our brand and talent community.

About you

• Geeking out on all things recruitment and all things tech is something you do on a regular basis, with your Talent Acquisition peers as well as the developers.
• Providing outstanding candidate experiences is a non-negotiable for you. Like us, you think that a recruitment process should be a learning experience for everyone.
