Role
Who you are

What the job involves

- In this role, you will combine a strong hands-on recruitment scope with a coordination / lead role across Tech hiring. You’ll act as a key relay between stakeholders (Hiring Managers, Leadership, TA) to bring structure, alignment, and efficiency to our hiring efforts

- Own the full recruitment cycle: from screening to closing and onboarding for the roles you manage

- Drive closing strategies and support offer negotiations
- Monitor talent acquisition metrics (pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-hire)
- Share insights and recommendations to improve efficiency and outcomes
- Act as a key point of contact and relay between TA, Hiring Managers, and leadership on hiring topics
- Ensure alignment on hiring needs, priorities, and expectations across teams
- Bring visibility on pipelines, risks, and progress, and help unblock situations when needed
- Coordinate complex or high-priority roles, ensuring smooth and efficient processes
- Coach hiring managers and interviewers on best practices, interview quality, and decision-making
- Challenge and support stakeholders to maintain a high hiring bar and consistency across teams
- Facilitate clear and efficient communication throughout the hiring process
- Identify bottlenecks and continuously improve hiring processes, workflows, and tools
- Lead or contribute to key TA projects, such as:
- Candidate experience improvements (communication, feedback loops, transparency)
- Interview calibration and training
- Employer branding initiatives in the tech ecosystem
- Ensure consistency and scalability of our hiring practices
Our take
In an ever-changing world, demand for more effective and accessible planning tools is rising. Pigment is meeting this demand with its business planning platform.
Pigment’s platform is disrupting a market that has long been dominated by generic spreadsheet programs like Excel. Its primary focus lies on forecasting and planning, enabling businesses to model and test outcomes. This is designed to improve the efficacy and reliability of decision making.
Taking on incumbents such as Excel, which boasts around one billion users, is no easy feat. However, Pigment’s innovative forecasting tools, ease-of-use and significant funding should give it a fighting chance in a market that is continuing to make space for disruptors. They have attracted impressive clients including Figma, PayFit, and Gong.
