We’re now looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner - Tech & Product, to join our TA team. You’ll play a critical role in hiring exceptional talent across our product, design, tech and engineering functions. You’ll bring deep recruiting expertise, a strategic mindset, and a love for building effective, scalable processes. This role is about more than filling roles; it’s about helping shape the future of Preply’s go-to-market and business organization.

About this role

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to join our Tech & Product TA team. You'll play a critical role in hiring exceptional talent across Product and Design, alongside supporting Tech hiring more broadly. You'll bring strong recruiting expertise, a strategic mindset, and a genuine care for building effective, high-quality hiring processes. This role is about more than filling roles; it's about helping shape how we hire for Tech & Product as we scale.

You'll partner closely with the leaders of these functions, acting as a credible advisor on talent strategy and hiring quality, not just an executor of requirements. You'll stay flexible enough to pick up other Tech & Product roles as priorities shift, and you'll be expected to bring real independence and judgement to how you run your own pipelines.

What you’ll be doing:

Lead and own end-to-end hiring for Product, Design, and related Tech roles, partnering closely with our Product and Design leaders.

Act as a talent advisor to hiring managers : guide stakeholders on hiring strategy, what good candidates look like in the market, and how to make faster, better-informed decisions.

Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies to attract top-tier talent, using tools like LinkedIn Recruiter and adapting your approach as roles or markets shift.

Champion structured, evidence-based hiring practices : apply scorecards rigorously, contribute to calibration, and drive consistency and quality across your interview processes and decisions.

Bring the Preply story to life , leveraging your understanding of the product and business to make a compelling, credible case for the role and the company.

Use data to drive better decisions : track your own funnel metrics - conversion, time-in-stage, source of hire - and use them to diagnose where quality is dropping and adjust your approach, not just to report status.

Spot and help fix process gaps : notice where a process, handoff, or step isn't working, and bring a clear, actionable suggestion for how to improve it.

Stay flexible across Tech & Product : support Engineering hiring when priorities require it, and bring enough technical understanding to have credible conversations with Engineering stakeholders when needed.

Collaborate with Employer Branding : work with the Employer Branding team to support visibility and attraction efforts for Product, Design, and Tech roles.

What you need to succeed:

7+ years of recruiting experience , with meaningful exposure to Product and/or Design hiring alongside Tech.

Proven experience hiring Tech, Product, and Design talent in a fast-paced, product-led tech environment, with solid exposure to Tech hiring more broadly.

Strong in-house recruiting experience : you know what great looks like when it comes to process, systems, and stakeholder engagement.
