Our People Team department focuses on delivering employee-first solutions to the business. We go all-out to understand and support our team member's needs, leverage data to gain insights and trends, and advance our human-capital-related applications for efficiency and consistency.   We look for passionate team members that excel and their contribution is critical to our continued success.  The People Team is comprised of Employee Experience, People Operations, Talent, and People & Development. These groups work closely together to bring in the best talent for Team Belvedere and from day one, make sure that all team members have all the tools they need to succeed and develop through their tenure. 

We believe university and early career hiring helps our company look at problems in alternative ways, integrate fresh perspectives, and innovate. We're currently looking for an Early Career Talent Partner to own intern, entry-level, and early career hiring for our Technology & Platform team, building the pipeline of engineers who will build and scale the systems our trading business runs on. This role will be responsible for attracting and hiring high-potential colleagues, developing quality relationships with technical student groups, and building a strong employer brand among the college communities that produce top engineering talent. You will own stakeholder relationships with Technology & Platform leadership and strategically partner with the business to drive hiring and lead best practices in technical talent acquisition. 

What you'll do

    • Execute the campus recruitment strategy for the Technology & Platform team and influence future intern, campus, and early career recruiting cycles, including undergraduate and graduate-student recruitment 

    • Sponsor, attend, and support hackathons using them as a primary sourcing and brand-building channel to identify strong engineers early and build Belvedere's reputation in the community 

    • Own and continually sharpen our technical assessment process: partner with engineering leaders to build, run, and iterate on coding challenges and technical interviews that hold up as candidates' coursework and skill level advance 

    • Evaluate technical skill as students’ progress through their coursework, with a specific eye toward identifying engineers who can genuinely elevate how we code and assessing real problem-solving and coding ability rather than output that leans heavily on AI-assisted tools 

    • Foster and maintain relationships with computer science and engineering departments, coding clubs, and open-source/dev student organizations, positioning Belvedere as a destination employer within those communities 

    • Full-cycle campus recruiting for Technology & Platform roles: managing a high-volume candidate pipeline from initial application through technical assessment and offer stage, in partnership with our People Operations team on engagement and onboarding 

    • Partner with Technology & Platform hiring managers to understand evolving stack and skill needs and translate them into sourcing strategy and candidate evaluation criteria 

    • Represent Belvedere during campus visits and virtual open houses, presenting our internship programs and early engineering talent development paths 

    • Elevate diversity recruiting efforts by partnering with colleges/universities, student organizations, and technical events 

    • Retroactively analyze engagement efforts to understand the return on strategic partnerships (hackathons, clubs, academic programs) and the success of new engagements 

    • Provide a high-touch candidate and hiring manager experience by articulating our core values in ways that resonate with a technical, engineering-focused candidate pool 

    • Evaluate and measure campus recruiting results and identify areas for process and performance improvement, systematization, and automation 

What you'll need

    • 2+ years recruitment experience, preferably with intern, entry-level and early career talent pools in fintech, big tech, and financial firms  

    • Ability to manage full-cycle recruiting process including resume review, phone screens, interview scheduling and facilitation, and offer calls 

    • Demonstrated success recruiting at multiple universities in highly competitive markets, ideally within software engineering or technical early-career talent 

    • Comfort engaging with technical concepts and evaluating engineering skill signals (enough to speak credibly to hackathon organizers, CS faculty, and student developer groups, and to partner effectively with engineers on assessment design) 

    • Excellent oral and written communication skills 

    • Ability to travel as needed during peak campus recruiting periods in the fall and spring, including to hackathons and technical career events 

    • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities/projects, meet deadlines, and facilitate change with a sense of urgency 

    • Proven analytical, organizational, and decision-making skills with demonstrated negotiation skills and influencing positive outcomes 

    • Eager to take on new tasks/responsibilities and passion for candidate experience, operational excellence, and continuous development 

    • Experience coordinating and participating in both in-person and virtual recruiting events/activities 

    • Comfortable working with and presenting recruitment data and market data, reporting, and analytics 

    • Bachelor's Degree required
