About the role

Recruitment Lead

London | Full-time | Hybrid | Shoreditch/Liverpool Street

We’re Making Travel Effortless. Join Us.

Travel is essential, whether it’s visiting family, starting a new adventure, or taking a career defining trip. Yet today, over 4 billion airline passengers rely on tech that hasn't changed in decades.

At Duffel, we’re rebuilding the infrastructure underpinning the global travel industry. Backed by top-tier investors (Benchmark, Blossom, Index Ventures, and Kima Ventures) and born out of Y Combinator (S18), we’re simplifying complex systems to build the future of travel.

Recruitment at Duffel

We are looking for a Recruitment Lead to both manage our in-house recruiting team and be an on the ground recruiter, partnering with leaders on recruitment strategy and ensuring we maintain a consistently high hiring bar as we scale.

About the role:

What you’ll be doing:

Manage a team of recruiters setting workload priorities, running 1:1s, keeping a pulse on pipelines, and supporting their development

Partner closely with leaders on recruitment strategy and delivery across all functions, with a particular focus on scaling technical hiring

Maintain and improve a structured interview infrastructure so the whole team runs a consistent, high-signal process

Use data and insight to ensure a strong recruitment infrastructure, tracking and reporting on hiring KPIs through, quality-control on pipelines, and leaning on Ashby workflows

Be the escalation point for hiring managers when a process isn't working

Own end to end hiring, personally running search and building pipelines on technical, senior or niche roles alongside the team

What we're looking for:

Extensive recruiting experience at a tech first company, including owning hiring metrics and reporting to senior leaders, not just running requisitions.

Meaningful experience hiring mid to senior software engineers across the stack, with a clear view of where engineering hiring breaks down: assessment design, competing offers, counter-offers and sourcing by specialism.

Experience leading, coaching and developing experienced recruiters, including planning team capacity against a hiring plan and rebalancing workload, rather than managing day to day.

Strong data literacy in Ashby: you can read a hiring funnel and pinpoint where it's breaking using Time to Hire, Time to Fill, stage conversion, offer acceptance and source-of-hire data.

Confident in forecasting capacity and demand: you can turn a hiring plan into recruiter headcount, lead times and the date each opening needs to go live, and flag early when a plan can't be delivered.

A strategic, commercially minded approach: you can turn data into a prioritised plan with clear baselines, targets and expected ROI (e.g. agency spend versus in-house capacity).

A quality-over-quantity mindset, with experience defining and tracking Quality of Hire and using it to steer where you source candidates and how the team hires.

Adept at building and improving recruitment processes and infrastructure, with a strong grasp of structured interviewing, scorecards and assessment design, and a focus on great candidate and interviewer experiences.
