Talent Acquisition Lead

We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead with 3-5 years of experience to own full-cycle recruiting at Venn, Canada's only digital banking platform. You'll be the sole recruiter responsible for doubling the team from 30 to 60, with a heavy focus on sourcing and closing technical talent in a competitive Toronto market.

What will you be doing?

• Running 6-10 screening calls per day and managing inbound pipeline review across all roles

• Partnering directly with founders and hiring managers to define roles, coordinate interviews, and close candidates

• Building the recruiting function from scratch — setting up processes, experimenting with AI tools, and pitching Venn's in-person culture

Key Requirements

• 2-3 years in a recruiting agency plus 1-2 years in-house at an early-stage tech company

• Proven experience hiring software engineers and technical talent

• Comfortable operating independently as a sole recruiter with minimal oversight

• Must be based in Toronto and able to work on-site 5 days a week (Adelaide & Spadina)
