Who we are and why we exist

At Liberis – merchants matter most! We’ve been on a mission to provide small and medium businesses (SMEs) with accessible and responsive finance since 2007. SMEs account for most businesses worldwide and are critical contributors to job creation and global economic development. They represent about 90% of businesses and more than 50% of employment worldwide. Despite this, more than three quarters (77%) of SME businesses last year were unable to secure the traditional bank financing they desperately needed to grow and thrive. This has created a $5 trillion funding gap for SMEs globally.

That’s where Liberis steps in! To best help small businesses, Liberis has built the leading global embedded finance platform. Through this, Liberis provides partners with the technology and financial solutions necessary to offer personalised and accessible funding to their small business customers.

To date with ~20 global strategic partners and direct reach to more than 1 million small businesses, Liberis has provided $1 bn of funding in over 50,000 transactions, enabling more than 100,000 jobs to be created and saved. We are making a genuine difference to your local pub, hairdresser and online retailer!

We are in a very exciting period of growth, in the UK and internationally, with teams based in London, Nottingham, Stockholm, Atlanta, Munich and remotely. We are looking for talented and ambitious individuals to help us reshape business finance. How we work is as important to us as what we do – exemplified by our behaviours:

#1 Merchants matter most – our success is tied to our merchants' success

#2 Act like time is running out – the fastest company in a growing market will win

#3 Own every outcome – the hardest problems we face are yet to be solved

#4 Communicate directly – we don’t have time to beat around the bush

#5 Prove it - every feature we build, decision we make and action we take, matters

#6 Empathy always - Liberis wins when every employee thrives

Who are you?

As a Tech Recruiter you will drive full end-to-end recruitment lifecycle activities across Product & Engineering teams, supporting key stakeholders in defining their hiring priorities and guiding them in the design and execution of a robust and thorough selection process. You will place equal emphasis on creating the best possible candidate experience; listening to what they are telling you and ultimately placing them in a role that meets their ambitions, while ensuring a seamless process from start to finish. As our business scales, and our hiring approaches evolve, you will have the opportunity to shape and improve what we do and how we do it.

Responsibilities

• Managing the end-to-end recruitment process across Product & Engineering functions
• Building strong relationships with your hiring managers and advising them on best practice to continuously improve our recruitment processes
• Defining sourcing strategies across online and social; leveraging your own network and our employer brand to effectively drive a direct-first recruitment philosophy
• Redefining hiring processes to work for the business and candidates
• Owning the candidate experience, ensuring that they receive prompt feedback and are kept up to date on the progress of their applications and representing company culture as their first point-of-contact
• Maintaining effective communication throughout the recruitment process with your hiring managers; keeping them up-to-date with all developments
• Be data-driven in your approach to recruitment – developing and using recruitment metrics that allow you to take ownership of your business areas and advise from a position of expertise
• Work with the broader People & Talent team to design and execute scalable, inclusive talent processes and build our employer brand as Liberis transitions into a high-growth period

• You will have previous Product and/or Technology recruitment experience either in an in-house position or relevant experience from an agency setting
• You are an effective and confident communicator, equally at home dealing with internal senior stakeholders as you are with prospective candidates at all levels
• You are a natural relationship builder with the ability to engage, influence and advise on recruitment in your business areas
• You will have the ability to thrive in an autonomous role - effectively sourcing, screening and selecting the best possible candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds and guiding them through the recruitment process
• You relish the opportunity of working in a fast-paced environment and deal confidently with ambiguity and changing priorities
• You have a genuine interest in learning about other business areas and partnering effectively with cross-functional teams
• Ideally you will have experience with Greenhouse or a similar in-house ATS
