Wealthsimple, Canada's leading financial innovator, is seeking a Senior Technical Recruiter to build and scale recruiting across its R&D organization. This role offers exceptional variety—you'll work fluidly across Engineering, Data Science, Security, and Platform Engineering teams, context-switching between closing Staff-level developers one week and building pipeline for Data Science searches the next.
You will own full-cycle recruiting across all R&D disciplines at any level and complexity. Key responsibilities include proactive pipeline building in niche, hard-to-fill technical spaces before requisitions formally open; developing hiring strategy in partnership with Hiring Managers, HRBPs, and Finance to align on headcount, prioritization, and market realities; leveraging AI-forward sourcing and modern tooling to accelerate hiring without sacrificing the human touch; managing data-driven funnel metrics and KPIs to catch risk early and sharpen strategy; running interview loops, debriefs, and closes with clarity and care; coaching junior recruiters and raising the bar across the broader team's hiring craft; and identifying process and tooling improvements that scale the recruiting function.
Wealthsimple serves over 4 million Canadians and holds more than $155 billion in assets under administration. The company offers a full suite of financial products including managed investing, do-it-yourself trading, cryptocurrency, tax filing, and spending/saving tools. Founded in 2014 by financial experts and technology entrepreneurs, Wealthsimple is headquartered in Toronto with over 1,500 employees across North America.
The company emphasizes a hybrid work culture with strong values around inclusion, accessibility, and continuous innovation. Benefits include top-tier health and life insurance, employer-matched group savings, 20 vacation days plus 4 wellness days and unlimited sick/mental health days annually, and the ability to work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year. Employee resource groups support 2SLGBTQ+, women, and Black employees.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 8+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience with a proven track record of closing complex, senior, or niche searches independently
- Hands-on Ashby ATS experience required; comfort using the platform as a core tool, not just a database
- Genuine versatility with proven ability to pivot across multiple technical domains without dropping quality or pace
- Fluency with modern sourcing platforms and AI tooling, with a test-and-learn mindset for continuous improvement
- Strong judgment to navigate ambiguity, calibrate hiring bars, and confidence to push back when needed
- Talent for relationship-building; candidates and hiring managers trust you because you earn it
- Proactive, resourceful, and hungry; embodies company values authentically
- Naturally curious about markets, talent pools, and shifts in tech hiring
- Adaptable and able to pivot quickly; views change as fuel rather than friction
- Organized enough to manage multiple complex searches simultaneously without gaps
