Job Description

Tech Recruiter - 12 months contract

Are you a delivery-driven Tech Recruiter who thrives in fast-moving, engineering-centric environments? We're supporting an ambitious digital banking accelerator in London that is building new, greenfield products from the ground up and they need a recruiter on a 12 months basis who can help scale elite engineering teams at pace.

Role

You'll work directly with senior engineering leaders and founders inside a high-growth, venture-style environment. This is not a coordination role - it's a hands-on delivery position focused on sourcing and securing exceptional JVM engineers (Java/Kotlin) across the UK and Europe.

If you get energy from finding hard-to-reach "passive" talent, influencing hiring strategy, and making immediate impact within a high-pressure build environment, this is the role for you.

Responsibilities
  • Acting as an embedded partner to engineering leaders, helping define hiring needs for greenfield roles.
  • Proactively sourcing top-tier engineers who can build secure, scalable digital products from scratch.
  • Managing the full recruitment lifecycle - from initial outreach to offer - while ensuring a first-class candidate experience.
  • Providing ongoing talent insights and market intel to help shape hiring strategy in a competitive tech landscape.
  • Supporting the rapid scaling of engineering teams as the organisation expands its digital footprint across Europe.
Essential
  • Strong background hiring JVM-focused Software Engineers (Java/Kotlin).
  • Experience operating across both high-growth tech/fintech environments and large corporate structures.
  • Someone who is energised by pace, ownership, and delivery - you'll be handling complex hiring needs with urgency.
  • Ability to join immediately and ramp up quickly.
What's On Offer
  • £500 per day (inside IR35).
  • 12-month contract with potential for extension.
  • On-site role in central London, working within a cutting-edge digital venture environment.
  • An opportunity to influence the growth of brand-new products being built from scratch.
