Square Peg Capital Looking for Senior Talent Acquisition Partner – Sales at Austin, Texas Full Time

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, g’day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you’re probably keen to find out what’s on offer, so we’ll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship office is in Sydney, Australia, but we’ve made our way from down under, to hubs in Austin and San Francisco, which are now home to our US operations. So whether you’re in Texas or California, you have choice in where and how you work in each of those states. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you’re near one), at home or a bit of both, it’s up to you.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that’s all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you’ll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

Supporting a mix of Sales and G&A roles, you will own creative recruiting strategies whilst focusing on sourcing, diversity hiring, and innovative approaches to passive candidate engagement. You will be passionate about delivering a memorable candidate experience and act as the primary advocate for candidates leading them through the recruiting and interviewing process, connecting them to the magic of working at Canva.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Full life-cycle recruiting: You’ll get to own the recruiting process from start to finish, sourcing, interviewing and hiring top talent
• Sourcing: You’ll be responsible for developing and executing on sourcing strategies that deliver the strongest results and make sure we’re bringing top talent into the business
• Diversity strategies: We’re super proud of the diversity of thought we’ve built onto these teams, however, we’ve only just started. You’ll continue to collaborate with the team to create diversity and inclusion plans for hiring
• Hire the best: Your focus will be on hiring quality candidates with agility and speed
• Partner with your hiring managers: You will work closely with your hiring managers to gain a deeper understanding of how each role fits into Canva
• Obsess about candidate experience: At Canva we care deeply about our People. Our candidate experience isn’t anything different. You are well-spoken on the phone and articulate over emails. You can effectively share the Canva story, vision and culture and act as a brand ambassador
• Data-driven: You are always trying to improve our hiring process and you will think with a data-first approach

You’re probably a match if:

• Proven experience supporting Sales and G&A focused roles with a successful track record of hiring top talent
• Value diversity and take pride in building a team that brings together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression
• Independent, adaptable and highly motivated Recruiter who loves what you do. You’re able to get into the details and deliver quality results on time. You’re a wearer of many hats and can juggle multiple priorities at the same time
• Creative (and know that job adverts and LinkedIn are not the only channels of headhunting candidates). You love to research and understand that the art of sourcing is always evolving. You get stuck into various platforms, technology tools, social networks and databases to uncover the best talent in the world
• Able to influence and work with a wide range of collaborators
