- You’ve got the experience. You’re a high performing seasoned full cycle recruiter who has recruited for product, engineering and design, functional areas and more, at all levels. Ideally someone with 7 years as a recruiter and who started their career at an agency and then moved in-house. Someone who has SaaS/tech recruiting experience at reputable companies. You are a true partner to the business and are relied upon for your expert opinion and insights
- You’re obsessed with your craft. You truly love what you do. You’ve got great stats to share and know where your gaps are. You are always honing your skills and researching what is new and exciting in the world of talent acquisition. You love learning and growing, and you take each experience and build those learnings into your next hire
- You’re an incredible sourcer. You have strong instincts for great talent. You know what it looks like and you know exactly where to find it. You are creative in how and where you find top talent and are known for your compelling outreach messages. Messages that cut through the noise and get amazing response and interest rates
- You have a super high bar for talent. You want to hire the very best candidate for the role and won’t be satisfied until you’ve found that person. You are focused on quality over quantity and get even more determined to find that right candidate if your previous candidates didn’t pass the interview stage

You understand the tech space and all its nuances and have strong business acumen and can talk the talk
- You’re a compelling communicator. You draw people in with your verbal and written communication. You get candidates super-pumped and fired up about Float to the point where they don’t want to interview anywhere else. You are succinct and to the point and easily convey important details to both candidates and interviewers. You are an intent listener, incredibly insightful and can articulate those hard to pinpoint details that others miss
- You’re a critical thinker and naturally curious. You can take in a lot of information and have excellent judgment. You can connect the dots and help people understand the impact of various decisions. You want to understand each role in a deep way. You aren’t a box checker and go beyond the standard questions to get a greater understanding. You ask the best questions in the moment that help you make the most informed decision. You are voracious and want to know the ‘why’ behind why each candidate may or may not be a fit, so that you can incorporate that into your next effort

Our take
Traditional finance and internal expense processes are inefficient for companies. Spending on personal credit cards and filing receipts for reimbursement is a convoluted and complicated business practise. There needs to be a digital alternative to the historically laborious process of managing employee expenses.
Float is a fintech solution, built to simplify the inefficient internal expense processes. Rather than following the traditional method of spending on personal/corporate cards, filing expenses, and waiting for reimbursement - Float works by utilising technology that enables managers to allocate funds and approve expenses before purchases are made. The company also supports companies operating with remote workforces.
As the business world moves to become more international, companies will look to make their business spending as simple as possible. Float aims to develop its technology and cater to the challenge of company spending. It's $50 million C in credit financing will go some way to achieving its aims, all whilst expanding its business significantly.
