Role
Who you are
- Substantial in-house technical recruiting experience, with evidence of delivering complex and business-critical searches
- Experience recruiting in a technology environment, such as a software, SaaS, or technology-led business. Financial services or fintech experience is preferred but not essential
- Demonstrated success managing a varied portfolio across different functions and seniority levels at the same time
- Recruiting experience within one or more of: Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Data, Corporate Technology, or Security
- Experience hiring across both the UK and US, with a working knowledge of each market preferred
- Exceptional direct-sourcing, talent-mapping, and candidate-engagement capability
- Evidence of delivering difficult searches without defaulting to external agencies
- Strong judgement and the credibility to advise, influence, and constructively challenge senior leaders
- Strong command of applicant tracking systems, sourcing platforms, recruiting analytics, and candidate-management tools
- Genuine curiosity about AI and emerging recruiting technology, combined with the discipline to evaluate tools critically
- Comfort operating as a hands-on individual contributor, including personally managing candidate communication and interview scheduling
What the job involves
- Lead full-cycle technical recruitment across Engineering, Product, Machine Learning, Data, Corporate Technology, and Security, flexing into other functions, locations, and seniority levels based on CAIS's most important business needs
- Take ownership of approved roles from initial intake through accepted offer, including candidate communication, scheduling, assessment, offer management, and closing
- Partner with technology and product leaders to translate business requirements into clear role briefs, candidate profiles, sourcing strategies, scorecards, and structured selection processes
- Build and maintain direct talent pipelines for hard-to-find technical talent through proactive sourcing, market mapping, referrals, and long-term relationship development in the UK and US
- Provide leaders with market intelligence on technical talent availability, compensation in each market, competitor activity, and likely hiring constraints
- Host role-alignment meetings with hiring managers and confirmed interview panels before searches move into full delivery
- Design effective interview plans and technical assessment methods, such as coding exercises, system design, and case-based interviews, that support fair, consistent, and evidence-based decisions
- Deliver practical interviewer training and coach interview debriefs, helping teams distinguish evidence from intuition or familiarity
- Use CAIS's recruiting technology and AI tools effectively and partner with Recruitment Operations on ATS workflows, automation, reporting, and process monitoring
- Evaluate emerging recruiting and AI technologies and make evidence-based recommendations on where new tools could improve hiring outcomes or candidate experience
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Financial advisors often face challenges in accessing education and alternative investment funds due to the absence of an integrated platform for discovering these opportunities. This gap can hinder their ability to offer clients diverse investment options and make informed decisions.
CAIS addresses this need by providing an online marketplace that facilitates direct communication between financial advisors and asset managers regarding alternative investments. The platform sources expert advice across various sectors, including hedge funds, private equity, credit, real estate, and digital assets, allowing advisors to access valuable insights and opportunities.
With thousands of financial advisors utilising its services, CAIS oversees more than $1.2T in assets. The company has partnered with major custodians like Fidelity and Schwab, collectively managing over $6T in assets for more than 15,000 advisors. Following substantial funding and achieving unicorn status in 2022, CAIS is now focused on advancing its technology, enhancing customer experiences, and digitising product operations for both fund managers and financial advisors
