The Recruitment & People Experience Partner (Part-Time Contract) at Security Compass is a high-impact, dual-focus role within a leading Toronto-based cybersecurity firm. Covering a 6-month parental leave, you will act as a strategic talent advisor and culture architect. This role requires the “wit” to navigate technical sourcing in the competitive DevSecOps landscape and the “grit” to execute seamless workplace operations and engagement programming in a remote-first, high-growth environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Full-Cycle Recruitment: Lead the end-to-end hiring process across multiple business units, from intake meetings and proactive sourcing (LinkedIn Recruiter/Boolean) to offer coordination.

  • Strategic Advisory: Partner with hiring managers to provide market insights, refine role requirements, and ensure an inclusive, human-centered candidate experience.

  • People Experience & Culture: Own the execution of internal events (virtual and in-person), managing budgets, vendors, and logistics for wellness and belonging initiatives.

  • Workplace Operations: Provide hands-on support for Toronto facilities coordination, including catering and vendor management for monthly team connection days.

Technical Insights: The DevSecOps Talent Pipeline

Recruiting for Security Compass requires an understanding of the “Shift Left” philosophy in software development.

  • Sourcing for SDLC Security: You will be looking for talent that understands how to integrate security requirements directly into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This involves identifying candidates with expertise in automation, threat modeling, and secure coding.

  • AI in HR Tech: Security Compass utilizes BrightHire, an AI-enabled interview tool. You will use this to support unbiased note-taking and review, ensuring that the final “Human Decision” is backed by accurate, data-driven insights.

  • The “Connection Day” Model: In a remote-first organization, the “People Experience” side of your role focuses on Social Capital. You will design “Connection Days” that maximize face-to-face interaction to prevent “Remote Silos” and foster community.
