About the Role
At Optiver, you will find an environment of collaboration and passion for solving challenging problems. As a technology-enabled market maker, we combine diverse skill sets, unique minds and a desire to be better. Our recruitment team must continuously think deeply about how to identify, engage, attract and assess this talent. Experienced talent is one of the foundational pillars to our recruitment strategy.
In this role, you will be responsible for advancing Optiver's end-to-end experienced recruitment strategy to find, attract, and hire experienced technical talent. You will work closely with leaders across the business on what is needed now and into the future. This role will focus on technology recruitment.
As a Technical Recruiter, you'll work alongside a passionate team of specialists, focusing on key areas that contribute to the team's goals. You will own the end-to-end recruitment process for technology roles, build strong partnerships with engineering leaders and hiring managers, design innovative ways to identify passive technical talent, embed AI into the recruitment workflow, coach stakeholders on hiring best practices, and use data to provide insight into pipeline health and drive decisions.
Requirements
