Talent Acquisition Lead

$110k - $140k per year
Full-time

Paramount Commerce

We are Paramount Commerce, a leading fintech company focused on simplifying payments in Canada. Since the early 2000s, we have redefined online purchasing by introducing a way to pay directly from a bank account, bypassing credit cards or e-wallets. Our commitment is to provide the highest standards of security and risk management that support seamless payments and rich data.

As we strengthen our position in Canada, we are strategically positioning ourselves for global expansion. To achieve our goals, we are seeking talented professionals who can push the boundaries of innovation, contributing to our growth across Canada and worldwide. Join us at Paramount Commerce, where we not only follow fintech trends but shape them.


As we set our sights on global expansion, we need a talented Talent Acquisition Lead to join our small but mighty People & Culture team. This is a rare opportunity to make a massive impact on our company's future by bringing in the best and brightest talent. As our sole person in TA, you’ll have the freedom and responsibility to own the entire recruitment process from strategy to execution. You know what an exceptional candidate experience looks like and can’t wait to bring your ideas to life!

You'll be the expert on technical hiring for our Engineering and Product teams, but you're also a versatile pro who can pivot to non-technical roles with ease. If you're a person who thrives in a fast-paced & supportive environment and wants to build a world-class hiring engine, you'll love it here.

What You'll Do

  • Be a strategic thought partner: Work directly with the VP of People & Culture and hiring managers to develop and refine our hiring strategy.
  • Own the recruiting lifecycle: You'll manage the full-cycle recruiting process for both technical and non-technical roles.
  • Build the foundation: You'll lead the strategy to optimize our ATS (Workable), creating and implementing interview guides, and developing training for hiring managers.
  • Source top talent: Proactively find and engage exceptional candidates for high-impact roles.
  • Champion the candidate experien ce: Design a delightful candidate experience to ensure every person has a positive, supportive, and transparent experience, regardless of the outcome.
  • Experiment with AI & technology: You'll explore and experiment with modern recruiting tools, including AI, to automate repetitive tasks and optimize workflows—all while maintaining the personal, human touch that sets our candidate experience apart.
  • Leverage Data: You'll own the recruiting dashboard, turning data and metrics into actionable insights that tell a clear story about our pipeline health and hiring efforts.

Who You Are

  • An experienced recruiter: You have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with a strong focus on technical roles. Experience leading an in-house function is a bonus.
  • Technically minded: You're not just filling roles; you understand them. You can grasp the nuances between different tech stacks and frameworks, recognizing that not all experiences are made equally.
  • A market investigator: You're insatiably curious, always digging into new markets, exploring talent pools, and staying on top of the latest trends.
  • A human-centred technologist: You're excited to leverage AI and modern tools to automate repetitive tasks, freeing you up to focus on what matters most: creating an exceptional experience for candidates and hiring teams.
  • Adaptable: You can seamlessly transition between recruiting for a Staff Engineer to building a recruitment dashboard.
  • Process-Oriented: You're excited by the opportunity to build and optimize our recruiting processes.
  • A true relationship builder: You excel at creating genuine connections with candidates and hiring managers.
  • An effective communicator: You communicate with clarity and precision, influencing leaders with data and insights.

À propos de Paramount Commerce

Nous sommes Paramount Commerce, une entreprise technologique de premier plan dans le secteur financier (fintech), dont l'objectif est de simplifier les paiements au Canada. Depuis le début des années 2000, nous redéfinissons les achats en ligne en introduisant un moyen de payer directement à partir d'un compte bancaire, sans passer par les cartes de crédit ou les portefeuilles électroniques. Notre engagement est d'offrir les normes les plus élevées en matière de sécurité et de gestion des risques afin de soutenir des paiements fluides et des données riches.

Alors que nous renforçons notre position au Canada, nous nous positionnons stratégiquement pour une expansion mondiale. Pour atteindre nos objectifs, nous recherchons des professionnels talentueux capables de repousser les limites de l'innovation et de contribuer à notre croissance au Canada et dans le monde entier. Joignez-vous à nous chez Paramount Commerce, où nous ne faisons pas que suivre les tendances de la fintech : nous les façonnons.

Le rôle

Alors que nous visons une expansion mondiale, nous avons besoin d'un ou d'une Responsable de l'acquisition de talents talentueux(se) pour se joindre à notre petite mais redoutable équipe Personnes et Culture (People & Culture). Il s'agit d'une occasion rare d'avoir un impact massif sur l'avenir de notre entreprise en attirant les talents les plus brillants. En tant que seule personne dédiée à l'acquisition de talents, vous aurez la liberté et la responsabilité de piloter l'ensemble du processus de recrutement, de la stratégie à l'exécution. Vous savez à quoi ressemble une expérience candidat exceptionnelle et vous avez hâte de donner vie à vos idées !

Vous serez l'expert(e) du recrutement technique pour nos équipes d'ingénierie et de produits, mais vous êtes également un(e) professionnel(le) polyvalent(e) capable de passer aisément à des rôles non techniques. Si vous êtes une personne qui s'épanouit dans un environnement rapide et solidaire, et qui souhaite bâtir un moteur de recrutement de classe mondiale, vous allez adorer votre expérience chez nous.

Vos responsabilités

  • Être un partenaire stratégique : Collaborer directement avec la vice-présidente, Personnes et Culture et les gestionnaires d'embauche pour développer et affiner notre stratégie de recrutement.
  • Piloter le cycle de recrutement : Gérer l'intégralité du processus de recrutement pour les rôles techniques et non techniques.
  • Bâtir les fondations : Diriger la stratégie d'optimisation de notre système de suivi des candidatures (ATS - Workable), créer et mettre en œuvre des guides d'entrevue, et développer des formations pour les gestionnaires d'embauche.
  • Dénicher les meilleurs talents : Trouver et engager de manière proactive des candidats exceptionnels pour des postes à fort impact.
  • Valoriser l'expérience candidat : Concevoir une expérience candidat mémorable pour veiller à ce que chaque personne vive un parcours positif, transparent et humain, quel que soit le résultat final.
  • Expérimenter avec l'IA et la technologie : Explorer et tester des outils de recrutement modernes, y compris l'intelligence artificielle, pour automatiser les tâches répétitives et optimiser les flux de travail — tout en conservant la touche personnelle et humaine qui distingue notre expérience candidat.
  • Exploiter les données : Gérer le tableau de bord du recrutement, en transformant les données et les indicateurs en insights exploitables qui illustrent clairement l'état de notre bassin de talents et de nos efforts d'embauche.

Votre profil

  • Recruteur(se) expérimenté(e) : Vous possédez plus de 5 ans d'expérience en recrutement de cycle complet dans un environnement agile et à forte croissance, avec une forte spécialisation dans les rôles techniques. L'expérience dans la gestion d'une fonction interne est un atout.
  • Esprit technique : Vous ne faites pas que pourvoir des postes ; vous les comprenez. Vous saisissez les nuances entre les différentes architectures technologiques (tech stacks) et frameworks, en reconnaissant que toutes les expériences ne se valent pas.
  • Enquêteur(se) de marché : Vous êtes doté(e) d'une curiosité insatiable, cherchant toujours à explorer de nouveaux marchés et bassins de talents, tout en restant à l'affût des dernières tendances.
  • Technologue axé(e) sur l'humain : Vous êtes enthousiaste à l'idée d'exploiter l'IA et les outils modernes pour automatiser les tâches répétitives, ce qui vous libère du temps pour vous concentrer sur ce qui compte le plus : créer une expérience exceptionnelle pour les candidats et les équipes d'embauche.
  • Polyvalent(e) : Vous pouvez passer sans transition du recrutement d'un(e) ingénieur(e) principal(e) (Staff Engineer) à la création d'un tableau de bord de recrutement.
  • Axé(e) sur les processus : Vous êtes stimulé(e) par l'opportunité de bâtir et d'optimiser nos processus de recrutement.
  • Créateur(trice) de relations authentiques : Vous excellez dans l'art de créer des liens sincères avec les candidats et les gestionnaires d'embauche.
  • Communicateur(trice) efficace : Vous communiquez avec clarté et précision, influençant les leaders grâce à des données et des analyses concrètes.
