Talent Acquisition Specialist - Tech

Job Purpose

• You will join a smart, collaborative, and passionate team of recruiters who take pride in the craft of finding and keeping great talent. As a Technical Recruiter, you act as the bridge between Moniepoint’s innovative engineering goals and the people who build them.
• You will partner directly with engineering leaders to own the end-to-end recruitment journey. The ideal candidate is someone who doesn't just "fill roles" but understands the technology and cares deeply about the human experience behind every application

Key Responsibilities

• Full-Cycle Ownership: Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for technical roles, from initial job intake and sourcing to interviewing, offer negotiation, and successful onboarding.
• Strategic Sourcing: Design and execute proactive sourcing strategies to build diverse pipelines for current and future engineering needs.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, helping them define technical requirements and providing data-driven insights on the talent market.
• Candidate Advocacy: Ensure every candidate has a clear, respectful, and high-quality experience, regardless of the outcome.
• Process Innovation: Identify ways to improve hiring workflows, from better screening techniques to more efficient interviewing panels.
• Brand Ambassadorship: Represent Moniepoint in the tech community, sharing the mission to create financial happiness through technology.

What Success Looks Like 

• Impactful Hires: Engineering teams are staffed with high-performing talent who align with the culture and mission.
• Efficiency: Key metrics like time-to-hire and quality-of-hire are tracked and improved through smarter processes.
• Candidate Sentiment: Candidates report a positive and transparent experience, measured through recruitment surveys.
• Strong Partnerships: Hiring managers view you as a strategic partner, not just a service provider.

Qualifications

• 5-7 years of experience in recruitment, with at least 3 years focused specifically on technical roles (Engineering, Product, Data).
• Proven track record of hiring in fast-paced tech environments or high-growth scale-ups.
• Deep experience in full-life-cycle recruitment, including complex offer negotiations and stakeholder management.
• Experience with both agency and in-house recruitment is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with modern Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and sourcing tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience hiring across multiple geographies (e.g., Nigeria, UK, India).
• Background in fintech or banking environments.
• Familiarity with technical assessment platforms and competency-based interviewing.

About You:

• You're a Creator: You don't wait for the right candidate to apply; you find imaginative ways to source and engage talent that others might miss.
• You're Relatable: You speak the language of engineers and candidates alike; you are human, friendly, and avoid jargon that excludes people.
• You're a Hero for the Business: You take ownership and, when a hiring goal is tough, you lean in with grit and mastery to solve it.
• You value clarity: You are honest with candidates and hiring managers, setting clear expectations and sticking to the facts.
• Systems Thinker: You see how a single hire impacts the wider team and build processes that scale.

What we can offer you

• Culture - We put our people first and prioritise the well-being of every team member. We’ve built a company where all opinions carry weight and where all voices are heard. We value and respect each other and always look out for one another. Above all, we are human.
• Learning - We have a learning and development-focused environment with an emphasis on knowledge sharing, training, and regular internal technical talks.
