Talent Acquisition Partner

About the role

Open Government Products (OGP) is a fast-paced, startup-like team of engineers, designers and product managers working on public-good technology, from citizen apps to automating public agency operations. As OGP scales up, it is looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to help hire the right people for the next stage of growth. You will join a People team that applies an experiment-and-iterate approach to recruitment, partnering with division and function leads and hiring managers to improve the hiring funnel.

Key responsibilities

• Own priority hiring end to end: lead full-cycle recruitment for key roles (starting with P0-P1), from shaping the brief with hiring managers to closing the offer.
• Build pipelines beyond posting and sourcing, through communities, referrals, events and targeted outreach, tailored to each talent group.
• Experiment with the funnel: spot where candidates drop off and test changes, measuring what works and scaling it.
• Keep hiring visible and measurable: maintain a reliable view of open roles, pipeline health and conversion, and set up or refine a hiring metrics and service-level framework in the first 90 days.
• Work with TA Ops and fellow partners to improve processes, tools and candidate experience.

Required profile

• Has run in-house recruitment end to end, from sourcing and screening through interviews, offers and close.
• Comfortable with outbound search (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean, referrals, communities) and knows which channels work for which audiences.
• Thinks in data and tells stories with it, going beyond time-to-fill to stage-by-stage conversion, source effectiveness and drop-off patterns.
• A partner rather than an order-taker: can juggle several searches, set clear expectations and push back thoughtfully on briefs and processes.

Good to have

• Experience improving recruitment processes or tools in a startup or scaling organisation.
• Exposure to employer branding, EVP or candidate-experience work.
• Advanced recruiting analytics such as quality-of-hire, cohort analysis or custom dashboards.
• Curiosity about approaches beyond the traditional post-and-source playbook.

What we offer

• Ownership and autonomy to voice opinions and suggest future directions.
• Rapid prototyping: testing ideas quickly with a fail-fast approach.
• Flexible work arrangements.
• Dedicated yearly learning months and hackathons.
• Mission-driven work focused on the public good.
