Technical Sourcer [United Kingdom]

Olo is a leading SaaS platform accelerating digital transformation in the restaurant industry, by helping customers deliver more personalized and profitable guest experiences. As a result, our digital ordering, payment, and guest engagement solutions enable our brands to do more with less and making every guest feel like a regular.

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Technical Sourcer to join our Talent Acquisition team and play a crucial role in growing our Engineering and Development teams in the UK. This position will be fundamental in supporting Olo’s continued growth and expansion in the region by both identifying top technical talent and ensuring a smooth and positive candidate experience throughout the recruitment process.

As Technical Sourcer, you will be responsible for proactively identifying and engaging a world-class group of engineers and technical professionals who will contribute to Olo's success. Ideal candidates are highly motivated, resourceful, and thrive in a dynamic and collaborative environment. You will focus on the top-of-funnel activities, employing innovative sourcing strategies to build robust talent pipelines, and you will be responsible for the scheduling and coordination of interviews with UK candidates. You will also network online and offline within the UK tech community to promote the Olo brand and attract exceptional professionals.

This is a full-time position to work remotely within the UK. This role will be primarily focused on building our presence and teams in the UK.

You will be contracted to Olo through Deel, our Employer of Record. An Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization hired by companies to handle the legal and administrative responsibilities of employing staff, often in countries where the company might not have a local presence.  Here’s an easy way to think of it: You work for Olo in a practical sense, completing your assigned role. The EOR is your formal employer, meaning the EOR takes care of all the administrative and legal responsibilities for your employment. In line with this arrangement, you maintain your day-to-day relationship with Olo, and Deel will be your point of contact for any job-related matters of your engagement. Moreover, you’ll retain all the employment rights you typically have under local employment law when you’re hired through an EOR, and you will be eligible for private healthcare coverage in addition to being able to participate in all statutorily required benefits and pension programs.

• Employ creative sourcing strategies to identify and engage top technical talent for roles across Engineering and Development.
• Collaborate closely with hiring managers and team leads to understand their specific technical requirements and build effective sourcing strategies.
• Proactively source potential candidates on relevant UK-centric and international platforms.
