The Role

Reports to: Global Talent Partner

Location: WeWork Waterloo, London - Hybrid (At least twice per week)

Comp: Up to £65k (Base) + Company Performance Bonus (10%) + EMI Share Options + UK iProov Benefits

iProov is profitable, scaling and trusted at serious scale: around 220 people across 16 countries, verifying well over a million identities every day for governments, banks and global enterprises. Behind that number sit the people we’re asking you to find. Our Technology, Science and Innovation teams are at the heart of what we do, and we’re growing all three. As our Technical Recruiter, you’ll own those hires from first conversation to signed offer.

You’ll start with our Technology function, where the problems are genuinely hard and the stack is modern: backend and platform engineers building on GCP, Kubernetes and Terraform; DevOps and DevSecOps engineers; web engineers working in TypeScript, React and WebAssembly on our Web SDK; and mobile engineers building our native SDKs.

As you earn the trust of the business, your remit grows with it. Next comes our Science function, home to ML Engineers, Computer Vision Research Engineers, MLOps, Applied Research, Red Team and Threat Intelligence, where you’ll be hiring the people who keep us ahead of deepfakes and other attacks. From there you’ll move into our Innovation function, where we build the products that don’t exist yet.

This is a partnership role, not a CV-sifting role. It’s worth being clear about what that means in practice: you won’t be juggling fifty requisitions at once. Our volumes are deliberately manageable, but every role is specialist. You’ll sit alongside VPs, Heads of and Engineering Managers to define what a great hire actually looks like, then go and find them, sourcing directly in some of the most competitive talent markets in the world. You’ll run a process that’s fast, fair and respectful of candidates’ time, and you’ll close. We care deeply about two things: the quality of the people who join us, and how quickly we get them through the door. If you take pride in both, you’ll fit right in.

How you can make an impact 

• Own the full hiring life cycle for Technology roles at iProov globally: intake, role definition, sourcing, screening, interview design, offer and close.
• Run a structured intake for every role so nothing opens without a clear problem statement, must-haves, a scorecard and an interview plan. Where a brief doesn’t hold up (unrealistic combination of skills, level and budget), say so at the start, with market evidence, rather than discovering it three weeks in.
• Source directly and creatively in competitive markets (LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, communities, referrals, events) and build warm talent pools ahead of demand for recurring role families.
• Use AI as a core part of how you work, not a bolt-on. We’re an AI-first business and we expect you to experiment: build your own automations for sourcing, outreach, screening and scheduling, prototype new approaches to finding talent, and share what works with the wider team. Judgement, relationships and candidate care stay human.
• Own the hiring data, and use it to be persuasive: time to fill, time to hire, funnel conversion, offer acceptance, decline reasons, source of hire and funnel diversity. Turn it into clear, evidence-led recommendations that hiring managers and leadership can act on quickly.
• Deliver a candidate experience that reflects iProov: feedback within 48 hours, clear process, honest role selling, and a role reality check before offer.
• Coach hiring managers and interviewers on scorecards, evidence-based assessment and bias, and help embed our values-based and integrity assessment questions. Support Talent-led 30/60/90-day check-ins so early retention is treated as part of recruitment.
• Expand your remit into Science (ML, CV, red team) and then Innovation as you build knowledge of our domain and credibility with those leaders.

What we would like to see from you 

• Deep expertise in full-lifecycle technology recruitment, with in-house or embedded experience at a high-growth company.
• A track record of filling hard engineering roles (backend, platform, DevOps, security, mobile or web) through direct sourcing rather than agencies.
• Enough technical fluency to hold a credible conversation about a modern cloud stack (GCP or AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, TypeScript/React, Python, C++) and to spot a strong profile without a hiring manager's help.
• Experience hiring across more than one country and comfort with the practical differences (right to work, notice periods, visa sponsorship, comp norms).
• Strong stakeholder management
• Communication, urgency and pace, with quality: you move fast, close the loop and do not let candidates or managers wait.
• Data literacy: you track your funnel and can explain what the numbers mean.
• Confident with LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search and an ATS, and curious about AI tools in recruitment
