deducta - Senior Recruiter
Requirements
• We're looking for an experienced recruiter who combines excellent sourcing with strong judgement and high ownership, and who is comfortable working as a hands-on individual contributor. Experience at high-growth technology companies is strongly preferred, but a background in our industry isn't required. • 5+ years of top-tier recruiting: You've owned challenging searches from kickoff through close in competitive markets. • Exceptional sourcing: You know how to find and engage candidates who aren't actively applying. • Candidate judgement: You get beyond a CV to assess capability, trajectory, motivation and fit. • Commercial instinct: You know recruiting is partly about identifying talent and partly about winning it. • Clear communication: You build credibility with candidates and hiring managers and keep everyone informed throughout a process. • Operational discipline: You keep pipelines organised, follow through relentlessly and use data to see where a search is working or breaking down. • Nice to have: Experience recruiting across product, engineering, customer or commercial roles at an early-stage technology company. • We care most about how you think, the quality of your work and how you approach unfamiliar problems. Previous startup experience isn't essential, but the pace, initiative and judgement to thrive in one are. • We believe in freedom and responsibility. We set clear priorities, share the context and trust people to decide how to deliver. You'll thrive here if you value: • Ownership: You own the outcome, not just the task. You deliver what you commit to, follow through when things get difficult, and own your mistakes. • Unreasonable hospitality: You treat prospects, clients and teammates with exceptional care as a default. You anticipate needs, communicate with clarity, and help others succeed. • Bias for action: We don’t have every answer upfront. You move things forward without waiting to be asked, take calculated risks, and adapt as you learn. • Craft: Moving quickly matters, but so does doing work that stays clear, reliable and useful as we grow. • System building: You create leverage beyond your own output, building processes, tools and documentation that others reuse and that keep working without you. • Candor: You tell the hard truth early, give and receive feedback thoughtfully, ask for help when you need it, and push back when priorities need to change. • Curiosity about AI: You’re excited by what applied AI makes possible, and you look for ways to use it in your own work. • As an early team member, you'll help shape our culture, our processes and where Deducta goes next. We're growing quickly, and this role will grow with us. • 2. Background interview • 3. Technical exercise • 4. Final interview • 5. Offer, referencing and start • Help the world's biggest businesses finally see themselves clearly.
Responsibilities
• End-to-end searches: Own searches from role definition and sourcing strategy through assessment, closing, references and offer. • Proactive sourcing: Find and engage exceptional candidates directly, rather than relying on inbound applications or external agencies. • Hiring manager partnership: Work with leadership and hiring managers to define what great looks like and turn it into a focused search. • Assessment and closing: Assess candidates' capabilities, motivations and trajectory with strong judgement, and help us win the people we want. • Candidate experience: Keep every process fast and well communicated, with a high bar for every interaction. • Recruiting systems: Build and improve interview design, scorecards, pipeline reporting and our use of Ashby, and help build our talent network and employer brand. • Strong pipelines: Our highest-priority roles have strong pipelines of exceptional candidates, and we hire without depending on external recruiters. • Clear visibility: Leadership has a clear view of pipeline health, trade-offs and next steps. • Great candidate experience: Candidates move through the process quickly and consistently have an excellent experience. • Scalable process: Our recruiting processes become more rigorous and scalable as the company grows.
Benefits
• Every decision a business makes, from the suppliers it trusts to the risks it accepts, eventually shows up as spend. This makes spend data the most honest record of how a company operates. Not the strategy deck or the org chart: spend describes what really happened. • This record exists, but it's scattered across dozens of systems and decades of legacy technology. Companies spending billions a year still can't easily answer: Who are our suppliers? Where are we exposed? What are we paying for twice? • We believe a business that can't see itself clearly can't make great decisions. Deducta exists to give the world's most complex organisations a true picture of how they operate, and the intelligence to act on it. Our ambition is to become the category-defining platform for enterprise data intelligence. • We're well funded, growing fast, and have already processed more than £1 trillion of spend for some of the world's largest and most recognisable companies. Our partners use Deducta to deliver major business transformations orders of magnitude faster. • We plan to grow the team substantially over the next year, and our hiring bar will shape what Deducta becomes. This role owns searches end to end across our most important hires, so we can build an exceptional team without depending on external agencies. You'll report to the Chief of Staff. • This isn't a recruiting coordination role. You'll recruit across product, engineering, customer, GTM and operations, build pipelines from scratch, and shape how Deducta hires, from interview design to employer brand.
