About the TA Partner role:
To date, hiring at Blackpanda has been a group effort. Like many startups, we’ve improvised, and grown a strong team; but we’ve done it reactively, via referrals and inbound applications, and an over-reliance on agencies.
Now though, this is changing.
Having achieved product market fit, and with a slew of top-tier, revenue-generating partnerships in place across the region, Blackpanda is elevating every aspect of our hiring: our sourcing, the quality of our assessment, the candidate and interviewer experience; in short, the overall repeatability, efficiency, and quality of the hires we make.
Our founder-CEO is the driving force behind this shift; he has made clear that hiring is a company-wide priority, and he is investing his own time and effort accordingly.
Crucial to this next phase of recruiting will be adding an outstanding, hands-on recruiter to the team. As our first dedicated recruiter, this hire will:
- Source, interview and close word-class cybersecurity talent across engineering, product, G&A and GTM functions. The vast majority of time will be spent here.
- Improve the quality of Blackpanda’s hiring effort via their expertise, passion for recruiting, and ability to influence Blackpanda’s leaders and hiring partners.
- Partner closely with Blackpanda leadership in the People function and in the business to:
- Inspire recruiting excellence
- Instill and give voice to a recruiting culture that always prioritizes the need to hire well
- Add appropriate structure, process and tools to the hiring effort
