Role Overview
CAIS is seeking a Talent Acquisition Partner to lead technology hiring from initial brief through accepted offer, focusing on quality, consistency, and speed of hiring.
This is an individual contributor role for an accomplished technical recruiter who combines exceptional sourcing and market-mapping capability with sound judgement, commercial understanding, and credibility with senior technology leaders.
You will recruit across Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Data, Corporate Technology, and Security, and flex into other areas of the business as priorities shift.
The role is based in London, with hiring across our teams in the United Kingdom and United States.
We are particularly interested in recruiters who have successfully managed a broad portfolio of technical searches at the same time, rather than specializing exclusively in one discipline.
Full Job Posting
Responsibilities
- Lead full-cycle technical recruitment across Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Data, Corporate Technology, and Security, flexing into other functions, locations, and seniority levels based on CAIS's most important business needs.
- Take ownership of approved roles from initial intake through accepted offer, including candidate communication, scheduling, assessment, offer management, and closing.
- Partner with technology and product leaders to translate business requirements into clear role briefs, candidate profiles, sourcing strategies, scorecards, and structured selection processes.

- Provide leaders with market intelligence on technical talent availability, compensation in each market, competitor activity, and likely hiring constraints.
- Host role-alignment meetings with hiring managers and confirmed interview panels before searches move into full delivery.
- Design effective interview plans and technical assessment methods, such as coding exercises, system design, and case-based interviews, that support fair, consistent, and evidence-based decisions.
- Deliver practical interviewer training and coach interview debriefs, helping teams distinguish evidence from intuition or familiarity.
- Use CAIS's recruiting technology and AI tools effectively and partner with Recruitment Operations on ATS workflows, automation, reporting, and process monitoring.
- Evaluate emerging recruiting and AI technologies and make evidence-based recommendations on where new tools could improve hiring outcomes or candidate experience.
Qualifications
- Substantial in-house technical recruiting experience, with evidence of delivering complex and business-critical searches.
- Experience recruiting in a technology environment, such as a software, SaaS, or technology-led business. Financial services or fintech experience is preferred but not essential.

- Recruiting experience within one or more of: Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Data, Corporate Technology, or Security.
- Experience hiring across both the UK and US, with a working knowledge of each market preferred.
- Exceptional direct-sourcing, talent-mapping, and candidate-engagement capability.
- Evidence of delivering difficult searches without defaulting to external agencies.
- Strong judgement and the credibility to advise, influence, and constructively challenge senior leaders.
- Strong command of applicant tracking systems, sourcing platforms, recruiting analytics, and candidate-management tools.
- Genuine curiosity about AI and emerging recruiting technology, combined with the discipline to evaluate tools critically.
- Comfort operating as a hands-on individual contributor, including personally managing candidate communication and interview scheduling.
