Senior Tech Talent Acquisition Partner

About this role:

We’re looking for an experienced, strategic, and driven Senior Tech Talent Acquisition Partner to join our Talent Acquisition team at DataSnipper. In this role, you’ll play a key role in driving hiring across our Product and Engineering functions, partnering closely with senior stakeholders to shape hiring strategy, build strong technical pipelines, and deliver a high-quality, candidate-centric recruitment experience.

You’ll own the full recruitment cycle for technical roles: from intake and market mapping to targeted sourcing, candidate assessment, process management, and offer negotiations. You’ll work closely with engineering and product leaders, acting as a trusted talent partner who deeply understands their hiring needs, challenges, and team ambitions.

This role requires someone who brings pace, structure, and sound judgment to a fast-moving environment. You’ll know how to balance multiple hiring priorities, influence stakeholders, and use data and AI tools to work efficiently and at scale.

About DataSnipper

Audit and finance are still massively manual - and we’re changing that. DataSnipper is a $1B, bootstrapped unicorn with 600,000+ users across 180+ countries, already embedded in the daily workflows of top audit and accounting firms.

Now, we’re taking things further with our Excel Agent - bringing AI directly into where the work actually happens. Unlike generic AI tools, we don’t sit on the sidelines. Our AI operates inside Excel, with access to real documents and audit evidence - meaning it doesn’t just generate answers, it does the work, with full traceability.

We’re not just applying AI - we’re redefining how audit gets done. If you want to help build something category-defining at scale, this is the place.

What you will do

• Manage and execute the full recruitment lifecycle for technical roles across Product and Engineering - from intake to offer - delivering a fast, high-quality, and candidate-centric experience.

• Act as a trusted talent partner to hiring managers and senior engineering/product leaders, advising on hiring strategy, market insights, candidate calibration, and process effectiveness.

• Partner closely with stakeholders to define role requirements, align on success profiles, and drive efficient decision-making throughout the hiring process.

• Design and execute targeted sourcing strategies to build strong, diverse pipelines, leveraging Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, talent networks, market mapping, referrals, and community-based sourcing.

• Drive proactive outreach and headhunting to engage passive technical talent, using a compelling and personalised approach that reflects the DataSnipper brand.

• Conduct structured screening and assessment processes, providing clear, balanced, and data-informed recommendations to hiring teams.

• Manage complex offer negotiations, including structuring competitive packages, handling counteroffers, advising stakeholders, and closing senior technical candidates effectively.

• Contribute to the broader tech talent strategy in collaboration with the TA team and business stakeholders, including sourcing channels, interview frameworks, market insights, and hiring process improvements.

• Track and analyse recruitment metrics to identify bottlenecks, improve conversion rates, and provide regular updates and recommendations to stakeholders.

• Actively use AI tools throughout the recruitment workflow - from sourcing and outreach to candidate evaluation and process automation - to work efficiently and at scale.

What you bring

• 7+ years of experience in talent acquisition, with a strong focus on technical recruitment across software engineering, product management, data, infrastructure, or related technical functions.

• A strong understanding of engineering disciplines and technical hiring markets - you can assess technical backgrounds credibly and have effective conversations with engineers, product leaders, and senior technical stakeholders.

• Proven experience managing full-cycle recruitment processes for complex and business-critical technical roles in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Demonstrated ability to partner with and influence senior hiring managers and leaders, providing clear guidance, market insights, and recommendations.

• Experience building and executing proactive sourcing strategies, including talent mapping, passive candidate engagement, and pipeline development for hard-to-fill roles.

• Strong experience managing offer negotiations and closing technical candidates, including senior-level candidates in competitive markets.

• Highly organised and structured in your approach - you’re able to manage multiple open roles and stakeholders simultaneously while maintaining quality, pace, and candidate experience.

• Adaptable and resilient - you adjust quickly to changing priorities and manage your workload effectively in a fast-moving environment.

• Data-driven approach to recruitment - you track the right metrics, identify trends, and use insights to continuously improve hiring outcomes.

• A proactive, can-do attitude - you take initiative, solve problems, and drive progress without waiting for perfect conditions.

• Experience working in a tech scale-up or high-growth SaaS environment is a strong plus.
