About this Talent Sourcer - Tech role at Lendable
About Lendable
Lendable is on a mission to build the world's best technology to help people get credit and save money. We're building one of the world’s leading fintech companies and are off to a strong start:
One of the UK’s newest unicorns with a team of just over 700 people
Among the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK
Profitable since 2017
Backed by top investors including Balderton Capital and Goldman Sachs
Loved by customers with the best reviews in the market (4.9 across 10,000s of reviews on Trustpilot)
So far, we’ve rebuilt the Big Three consumer finance products from scratch: loans, credit cards and car finance. We get money into our customers’ hands in minutes instead of days.
We’re growing fast, and there’s a lot more to do: we’re going after the two biggest Western markets (UK and US) where trillions worth of financial products are held by big banks with dated systems and painful processes.
Join us if you want to
Take ownership across a broad remit. You are trusted to make decisions that drive a material impact on the direction and success of Lendable from day 1
Work in small teams of exceptional people, who are relentlessly resourceful to solve problems and find smarter solutions than the status quo
Build the best technology in-house, using new data sources, machine learning and AI to make machines do the heavy lifting
The role
We’re looking for a Technical Sourcer to join our growing Talent team. You'll play a critical role in helping us identify, engage and attract exceptional talent across Engineering, Product, Data Science, Credit/Risk and other technical functions.
Working closely with Talent Partners and hiring leaders, you'll combine deep market intelligence, creative sourcing strategies and data-driven decision making to build high-quality talent pipelines for some of our most important hiring challenges. You'll be someone who enjoys solving difficult talent problems, uncovering hidden talent and continuously improving how sourcing gets done.
What you'll be doing:
Building and executing sourcing strategies for technical and hard-to-fill roles, using market mapping, talent intelligence and creative search techniques to identify exceptional talent
Partnering closely with Talent Partners and hiring managers to understand hiring goals, shape search strategies and deliver high-quality candidate pipelines
Proactively engaging passive talent across multiple channels, creating compelling outreach approaches that drive strong response and conversion rates
Using data and funnel insights to optimise sourcing performance, track progress and inform hiring decisions
Acting as a trusted market expert, sharing talent intelligence, competitor insights and market trends to help influence hiring strategies
Exploring and leveraging AI and modern sourcing tools to improve efficiency, uncover talent faster and enhance candidate engagement
What we offer:
Real impact: see your work directly shape the trajectory of our company. The talent you identify will fuel our growth and help us achieve ambitious goals
Growth: join and learn from driven, smart teammates who push for better, daily
High agency: you'll own your projects end-to-end, experiment with new ideas and have the autonomy to make meaningful contributions
Low ego: we value humility, transparency and the willingness to listen. No politics, just mutual respect and shared wins
Best of both: we're a financially solid fintech with a start-up mentality. Enjoy the stability and resources alongside the pace, autonomy and fun of a scrappy challenger brand
What we're looking for:
Significant experience as an in-house Sourcer within a fast-paced, product-led technology company, with a track record of supporting technical hiring across functions such as Engineering, Product, Data Science and Risk
Strong market mapping and sourcing capability, with the ability to build talent pipelines from scratch and uncover high-calibre passive talent in competitive markets
Proficiency with sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and other talent intelligence platforms, alongside a curiosity for exploring new ways to find exceptional people
A data-driven mindset, using sourcing metrics, funnel insights and market intelligence to optimise performance and influence hiring outcomes
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience partnering effectively with recruiters, hiring managers and wider talent teams
