Key Responsibilities & Operational Scope

In this position at Eucalyptus, your primary deliverables and day-to-day focus areas include:

• Sourcing is king. The best engineers, product leaders, and technical minds are not applying; they are found. We go outbound, get creative, and meet technical talent where they live (GitHub, open-source communities, and technical events).
• Process mastery. Hiring at pace creates friction. We spot bottlenecks in code assessments and interview loops early, clearing the path before they slow the team down.
• The recruiting funnel is a sales funnel. Drop-off is a signal. We track it, understand it, and fix it. Every stage is a chance to win or lose exceptional technical talent.
• Curiosity drives better outcomes. New tools, new tactics, and new ideas. If something might work, we test it. Better technical hiring comes from constantly evolving our approach.
• Full-lifecycle hiring: Manage end-to-end recruitment for UK technical roles (Software Engineers, Tech Leads, Product Managers, Data Scientists) from kick-off to offer acceptance.
• Proactive sourcing: Identify talent using technical community research, GitHub, referrals, and targeted channel outreach.
• Stakeholder partnership: Work directly with Engineering Leaders to clarify technical specs, calibrate candidate quality, design effective assessments, and maintain hiring momentum.
• Funnel evaluation: Review performance across sourcing, screening, and interview stages to identify and resolve bottlenecks.
• Pipeline reporting: Build hiring reports that track pipeline health, conversion rates, and time-to-hire across technical roles.
• Channel optimisation: Test and measure sourcing channels and outreach strategies to improve candidate response and conversion rates.
• Process refinement: Work within talent systems to optimise technical interview stages, reduce drop-offs in coding tests, and streamline interview workflows.
• Technical narrative: Translate complex technical architecture into clear candidate messaging that resonates with senior talent.

Candidate Profile & Required Qualifications

To succeed in this role, Eucalyptus is seeking candidates who possess the following credentials, competencies, and mindset:

• Technical literacy: Clear understanding of tech stacks, engineering roles (backend, frontend, full-stack, DevOps, data), and technical profile evaluation.
• Outbound sourcing ability: Skilled in technical candidate sourcing beyond LinkedIn (such as GitHub, Stack Overflow, X, and open-source communities).
• Stakeholder engagement: Ability to consult, align, and work with Engineering Managers and Product leaders on hiring strategy and candidate calibration.
• Tool & metrics focus: Familiarity with AI tools and recruitment platforms, paired with experience using hiring metrics to monitor funnel performance.
• Clear communication: Ability to convey technical concepts, engineering culture, and product vision to passive candidates.
• Contract & location fit: Availability for an up to 12-month Fixed-Term Contract (FTC), based in London with the ability to work from the Old Street office 3 days a week.
