Trusted by over 30,000 locations across 32+ countries - including brands like McDonald’s and JYSK - Solink delivers clarity when it counts. Our solutions help businesses reduce shrink, optimize performance, and respond proactively to potential threats.

We're growing rapidly, earning industry recognition, and scaling with purpose. We’ve been recognized by Deloitte’s Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, Business Intelligence Group, and as one of Ottawa’s Best Places to Work. And we’re just getting started!

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Talent Partner to help build and scale our R&D and Product organizations. This role goes beyond recruiting; you’ll act as a strategic partner to Engineering and Product leaders, shaping how we attract, assess, and hire exceptional talent.

You’ll work closely with the People Operations team and partner strategically with the P&C Business Partner for R&D and Product to align hiring with broader people strategies, workforce planning, and organizational design.

While your primary focus will be on R&D and Product, you’ll also have the opportunity to support hiring across other functions as business needs evolve. This requires adaptability, strong prioritization, and the ability to quickly ramp across different talent domains.

You’ll own full-cycle recruiting while influencing talent strategy and hiring excellence across the business. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-demand environments and is excited by the challenge of building both teams and scalable processes from the ground up.

  • Translate business goals into proactive hiring plans and pipelines

  • Act as a trusted advisor on talent mapping, hiring decisions, and market insights

  Full-Cycle Recruiting Ownership

  • Own end-to-end recruitment for R&D and Product roles (Engineering, Product Management, Design, Data, etc)

  • Support hiring across other functions as needed, adapting quickly to different role profiles and hiring dynamics

  • Manage a high volume of requisitions while maintaining quality and strong stakeholder communication

  • Lead intake, sourcing strategy, structured interviews, offer negotiation, and closing

  • Ensure a high-quality, consistent, and efficient candidate experience

  Technical & Product Talent Sourcing

  • Build and execute creative sourcing strategies for hard-to-fill technical and product roles

  • Develop deep understanding of talent markets, competitors, and compensation trends

  • Proactively pipeline passive candidates for critical and future roles

  Hiring Excellence & Process Optimization

  • Drive structured hiring practices, including calibrated interviews and scorecards

  • Build, refine, and scale recruiting processes in a fast-paced, evolving environment

  • Identify gaps and implement improvements that increase speed, quality, and consistency

  • Partner with interviewers and hiring managers to raise the hiring bar

  Employer Brand & Candidate Experience

  • Represent the company authentically in the market and at industry events

  • Elevate the candidate experience from first touch to onboarding

  • Partner with marketing and leadership to strengthen employer brand across both technical and product talent segments

  Data & Reporting

  • Track and analyze recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, quality of hire, funnel conversion, etc.)

  • Use data to influence decisions and continuously improve outcomes

Must-Have:

• 4–8+ years of experience in full-cycle recruiting, with a strong focus on technical and/or product hiring

• Experience building recruiting processes, dashboards, or reporting frameworks

• Experience supporting both technical (R&D) and Product hiring in the same role

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;
