What the job involves
- We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Technical Sourcer to join our Talent Acquisition team and play a crucial role in growing our Engineering and Development teams in the UK
- This position will be fundamental in supporting Olo’s continued growth and expansion in the region by both identifying top technical talent and ensuring a smooth and positive candidate experience throughout the recruitment process
- As Technical Sourcer, you will be responsible for proactively identifying and engaging a world-class group of engineers and technical professionals who will contribute to Olo's success
- You will focus on the top-of-funnel activities, employing innovative sourcing strategies to build robust talent pipelines, and you will be responsible for the scheduling and coordination of interviews with UK candidates
- You will also network online and offline within the UK tech community to promote the Olo brand and attract exceptional professionals
- This role will be primarily focused on building our presence and teams in the UK
- You will be contracted to Olo through Deel, our Employer of Record
- An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization hired by companies to handle the legal and administrative responsibilities of employing staff, often in countries where the company might not have a local presence
- Here’s an easy way to think of it: You work for Olo in a practical sense, completing your assigned role
- The EOR is your formal employer, meaning the EOR takes care of all the administrative and legal responsibilities for your employment
- In line with this arrangement, you maintain your day-to-day relationship with Olo, and Deel will be your point of contact for any job-related matters of your engagement
- Moreover, you’ll retain all the employment rights you typically have under local employment law when you’re hired through an EOR, and you will be eligible for private healthcare coverage in addition to being able to participate in all statutorily required benefits and pension programs
- Employ creative sourcing strategies to identify and engage top technical talent for roles across Engineering and Development
- Collaborate closely with hiring managers and team leads to understand their specific technical requirements and build effective sourcing strategies
- Proactively source potential candidates on relevant UK-centric and international platforms
- Continuously build and maintain active talent pipelines for key technical roles within the UK
- Conduct initial outreach and engagement with passive candidates through personalised and compelling communications
- Partner with Olo’s Recruiters and hiring managers to provide insights on the UK technical talent market
- Actively strive to increase diversity within our talent pipelines through targeted sourcing and engagement with relevant UK diversity organisations in tech
- Track and maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate information within our Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Lever
- Stay informed about new technologies and trends within the UK tech landscape
- Use data and analytics to track sourcing effectiveness and identify areas for improvement in our strategies
- Schedule interviews (phone screens, video calls) between candidates and the hiring team in a timely and efficient manner, managing calendar availability across multiple stakeholders
- Coordinate candidate communication regarding interview logistics and provide necessary information, and ensure a positive and professional experience for candidates throughout the interview process
Our take
In recent years, there have been dramatic changes to the way the catering industry operates. The benefits of pandemic-imposed structures, such as digital ordering interfaces and delivery infrastructure, have outlived the reason they were brought on, as many restaurants have found these digital solutions provide both operational efficiency and additional revenue.
Olo provides all-in-one digital ordering and delivery platforms for restaurants, providing software interfaces for digital payments, menus and ordering, in addition to on-demand delivery. The platforms are provided in both mobile and web formats and facilitate both traditional and alternative ordering systems such as at kiosks, drive-thrus, and voice automated ordering. Whilst the company certainly faces competition from the variety of alternative digital ordering platforms for the catering industry, it stands out by providing an all-in-one solution, instead of focussing on just one area.
The company has partnered with catering giants such as Denny's and The Cheesecake Factory, whilst also providing affordable systems for small independent businesses. The latest addition to its offerings is the commercially available "Borderless" functionality, which has the potential to speed up and streamline payment at venues across Olo's network.
