Our cloud-based platform integrates seamlessly with your existing cameras and systems, turning them into intelligent sensors that detect and interpret key moments. This empowers teams to make data-driven decisions, enhance security, and improve operational efficiency.

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!

The Role

The Talent Acquisition Partner will support hiring across Technical (R&D), Sales, and Operations. We’re looking for someone who understands the full funnel: from proactive sourcing to closing, from intake to onboarding. You’ll typically manage 8–10 roles at once, balancing speed with quality and partnership with precision. You’ll be the first point of contact for many candidates, so your ability to tell the Solink story, live our values, and keep the bar high is critical.

What You’ll Do

• You will own the end-to-end recruitment process for high-impact roles in Engineering, Product, Sales, and Operations.

• You will partner with hiring managers to define role success profiles, interview structure, and selection criteria.

• You will build and execute creative sourcing strategies to engage passive candidates who align with Solink’s values and mission.

• You will ensure every candidate touchpoint, from first message to final offer, reflects the quality and urgency Solink is known for.

• You will manage a workload of 8–10 open roles at a time, at various stages of the funnel, prioritizing ruthlessly and communicating proactively.

What You Bring

Must-Have:

• 3+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience in a SaaS environment, supporting fast-growing teams across Engineering, Sales, Customer Operations, and Product.

• A strong sourcing toolkit—LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, CRM/ATS, etc.

• Proven ability to context-switch across functions, from senior Sales roles to backend Engineers to Ops leaders—and tailor your approach accordingly.

• Working knowledge of core technologies and team structures (e.g., Python, Java, C++, Git, JIRA, cloud platforms, ML libraries, and R&D environments like AI/ML, data pipelines, DevOps).

• Comfort reviewing technical portfolios, GitHub profiles, or project work to qualify candidates beyond the resume.

• An exceptional communicator—clear, concise, and persuasive in both written and verbal outreach.

• A builder’s mindset: proactive, resourceful, systems-oriented, and energized by ambiguity, growth, and impact.

Nice-to-Have:

• Proficiency with ATS, especially Ashby.

• Curiosity to test new sourcing channels, tools, and messaging tactics.

Security Requirements

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;

• Be a Canadian Citizen (dual citizens included), or eligible to work in Canada;

• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.

Our Values

We do things the Solink way:

• Act with URGENCY – Our customers move fast, so we do too.

• Deliver with QUALITY – We sweat the details and hold a high bar.

• Win with TEAM – No egos. Just outcomes, built together.

• Lead with TRUST – We earn it through clarity, consistency, and care.

These aren’t just words—they shape how we hire, lead, and grow.

Why Solink?

We’re not just building tech - we’re building a place where great people do great work.

• Clarity and trust: Where the role allows, we support flexibility in how and where work gets done - and we’re upfront about what’s required.

• Meaningful equity: Every full-time, permanent employee has a stake in our growth.

• Comprehensive benefits: Fully paid health & dental (no waiting period) + $500 health spending account.

• Wellness support: Monthly reimbursement for fitness, wellness, or mental health programs.

• Growth through merit: Advancement is based on contribution, initiative, and the ability to raise the bar - together.

• Candid culture: Clear expectations, honest feedback, and no politics.

• Social connection: From So-learns to Solink-o and So-lunches, we stay connected in ways that actually feel fun.

What to Expect from the Hiring Process

We respect your time and value transparency. Here’s a general idea of what to expect:

• Intro call with our Talent Team (30-45 minutes)

• Interview with the Hiring Manager

• Final interviews with cross-functional team members

• Offer & onboarding

Please note: this is subject to change at any point in the recruitment process based on the needs of the business.
