Role
Who you are
- We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work
- You take ownership of your work, acting as a true maker-owner in the hiring process
- You’re deeply customer-obsessed, always thinking about how the talent you find will shape a simpler, more human financial experience for Canadians
- You bring your full self to work - being human matters here — and you know that keeping things simple is the best way to build trust and move quickly
- 3+ years of experience in sourcing, talent research, or technical recruiting; ideally in a fast-paced, high-growth setting
- Proven track record of building pipelines and connecting with candidates in niche or specialized roles
- Familiar with sourcing platforms, AI tooling, and modern recruitment technology
- Hungry, proactive, and resourceful; you embody our Wealthsimple values
- Skilled communicator who knows how to personalize outreach and build authentic relationships
- Naturally curious; you love digging into markets, talent pools, and trends
- Comfortable turning deep research into clear, actionable insights
- Passionate about building a better financial future and making it accessible to everyone
What the job involves
- You’re the detective, connector, and pipeline builder all rolled into one. Working closely with our R&D squads—data, engineering, product, design—you’ll hunt down fintech talent who will help us reinvent financial services in Canada
- You’ll keep us plugged in to the right people, whether we’re hiring now or just warming up for the future. Your superpower? Turning research, market savvy, and data-driven insights into a nonstop stream of great candidates and hiring wins
- Partner closely with recruiters on active searches and build smart, research-driven strategies that find top candidates — always putting candidates, recruiters, and hiring teams first
- Fearlessly hunt down diverse, high-quality talent for high-priority or hard-to-fill roles — no lead too cold, no message too bold
- Build and maintain evergreen talent pools for engineering and design that line up with where we’re headed long-term
- Forecast future talent needs by staying plugged into product direction, team strategy, and market shifts
- Create scalable, repeatable sourcing processes that keep our pipelines growing well beyond today’s openings
- Use AI and modern sourcing tools to work smarter, uncover hidden talent, and surface the right people faster
- Research hiring trends in fintech’s hottest spaces — crypto, trading, lending, and beyond — so we’re always ahead of the curve
- Develop a deep understanding of the North American tech talent landscape — who’s out there, where they are, and how to reach them
- Help build authentic communities where passive talent naturally wants to engage with Wealthsimple — long before they apply
- Reimagine how we connect with candidates — making every first touch thoughtful, human, and memorable
- Focus on sourcing and referrals as our secret weapons — because the best hires come from the right network and real relationships
Our take
Wealthsimple is one of a crop of robo-advisors trying to democratize investment management. These companies are disrupting the industry by automating many of the processes involved in investment removing the need for human advisors.
But while other so-called robo-advisors are focused on courting the high end of the market, Wealthsimple is trying to provide the same types of tools and advice to all users, regardless of the amount they have to invest.
Wealthsimple does have higher fees than some other robo-advisors such as Betterment and Charles Schwab. However, the company believes that it provides a more user-friendly platform, tailored to millennials who will be attracted to Wealthsimple due to its ease of use and social impact offerings.
