## Job description

## About Abound

We’re redefining consumer lending in the UK, and beyond. Using advanced AI and Open Banking data, we make fair, affordable personal finance available to more people. While traditional lenders rely almost entirely on credit scores, we look at the full financial picture - how much you spend, and what you can afford to repay to build a deeper, more accurate understanding of each customer's unique financial situation.

And we've shown it works at scale. We’ve issued over £1.3bn in loans directly to customers while delivering market-leading credit performance - for every 10 defaults the industry expects, we see only 3. We also reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch.

Backed by £2bn+ of funding from top-tier investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we’re recognised as one of Europe’s fastest-growing fintechs (Sifted, CNBC). Now, we’re expanding into new markets and product lines - and we’re looking for ambitious people who want to learn fast, take ownership, and grow with us. About the role: We’re looking for a Tech Sourcer to help build the talent pipelines that will power Abound’s Engineering, Data Science, AI and Credit Risk teams. This is a great opportunity for someone who has experience in their sourcing or recruitment career who’s curious, proactive, and excited about finding exceptional technical talent. You’ll work closely with Talent Partners and hiring managers to ensure we’re consistently bringing high-quality candidates into our hiring process. What you'll be doing:

- Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies to attract high-quality technical talent
- Own proactive sourcing for engineering, data science, AI and credit risk roles across multiple pipelines
- Identify, engage, and nurture both active and passive candidates across the market
- Partner closely with Talent Partners and hiring managers to understand role requirements and refine search approaches
- Build and maintain strong, well-structured talent pipelines within our ATS (Ashby)
- Conduct market mapping and talent research to support hiring strategy and pipeline planning
- Track sourcing activity and provide insights on pipeline health, market trends, and conversion rates
- Contribute to improving sourcing processes, tools, and candidate engagement strategies

Who you are:

- 2+ years’ experience in recruitment, sourcing, or a similar talent-focused role
- Proven experience sourcing for software engineering or technical roles
- Comfortable owning multiple pipelines simultaneously
- Strong understanding of how to find and engage passive technical talent
- Curious, proactive, and motivated to continuously improve how you work and bringing new ideas
- Data-aware, using insights to improve sourcing performance and decision-making

What we offer:

- Everyone owns a piece of the company - equity
- Hybrid with 3 days a week in the office
- 25 days’ holiday a year, plus 8 bank holidays
- 2 paid volunteering days per year
- One month paid sabbatical after 4 years
- Employee loan
- Free gym membership
- Team wellness budget to be active together - set up a yoga class, a tennis lesson or go bouldering
