LAYIQ - Founding Technical Recruiter at Allocate

10+ years in talent acquisition, with direct experience owning recruiting across EPD functions (Engineering, Product, Data/Research, Design)
A track record designing and deploying structured interviewing practices
— not just running them, but building the frameworks (behavioral question banks, scorecards, interviewer training) from scratch.
A proven, hands-on track record in outbound sourcing for hard-to-reach and hard-to-identify candidates
— deep comfort with advanced Boolean search, creative sourcing channels, and market mapping to surface talent that isn't actively looking or easily found through standard tools.
Experience evaluating and deploying
AI-powered sourcing and recruiting tools
(and a desire to keep experimenting) to extend what a lean talent function can do
Experience managing or coordinating external recruiting partners/agencies alongside internal pipelines.
A track record building talent/employer branding and talent communities
— proactive candidate pipelines and employer positioning that generate inbound interest and shorten future searches.
Experience building consistent, scalable talent operations
— the workflows, reporting, and process infrastructure that keep a recruiting function scalable and consistent.
Comfort operating as a function of one in an early-stage environment — equally able to run a search personally and to design the systems that outlast any single search.
A demonstrated commitment to inclusive hiring practices and diverse candidate pipelines.
Experience with ATS selection, implementation, or migration is a strong plus.
Essential Values & Culture
Providing our clients with a world-class experience is our number one priority.
We obsessively search for ways to improve the experience for our clients and partners. This requires extraordinary response times, proactivity, and ensuring that everything we do — from product strategy to offline communications — reflects a top-tier client experience.
Challenge convention: Instead of detailing all the reasons why an idea may not work, we constantly question things to determine how a viable idea may be put into motion.
Commitment to continuous improvement: We find ways to personally scale each day by pushing ourselves up the learning curve.
Meritocracy, not politics: We place the utmost value on results and rewards through merit, not reward actions driven by political agendas or behavior.
Civil Discourse is embraced: We believe open, intellectually curious conversations are required to consistently arrive at the best decisions. Respect is paramount in our dealings with one another, but our mission is always to get the right answer collectively, not to be right.
Embrace technological change: We adopt tools and techniques that make us faster, smarter, and better. We stay open to innovation, especially around AI and automation, and drop outdated methods without hesitation. This includes actively integrating AI-assisted tools into your daily workflow and staying current as the landscape evolves. Complacency kills progress — we value adaptability and curiosity.
