- You are not afraid to be yourself, experiment, make mistakes and learn from them, ask questions, or voice your concerns
- When communicating you are self-aware, insightful, and proactive
- You are a team member first and individual contributor second. You are aware that high-performing teams are only as strong as their weakest link
- You believe in continuous improvement and request frequent feedback from others
- 5+ years of full cycle recruiting experience in a technology company or technology agency environment is preferred
- 5+ years experience sourcing and recruiting in at least two of the following domains; IT, Engineering, Product, Data Science, or Design

This approach enables more effective collaboration, quicker decision-making, and a stronger culture, while still providing flexibility

Our take
Pluralsight is dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap, a mission that has become increasingly urgent as industries worldwide face a growing shortage of IT talent. This high demand for upskilling makes Pluralsight's online training services more relevant than ever.
Founded in 2004, Pluralsight has matured into a prominent player in the online upskilling industry. The company has seen significant growth in recent years, capitalising on the surge in demand before many competing startups emerged. Despite facing competition from major players like Grow with Google and Udemy, Pluralsight has maintained its strong position.
Though Vista Equity Partners' 2021 acquisition has brought some challenges, Pluralsight, once a unicorn startup now a public company, continues to thrive. With numerous partnerships with NGOs, educational institutions, and corporations, Pluralsight remains a key player in tackling the tech skills shortage.
