Novig
Join to apply for the Recruiter role at Novig to help shape a new sports prediction market.
Novig has reimagined the sports betting landscape by building a sweepstakes-based sports prediction market that guarantees users the best lines by allowing them to play directly against friends or the market, rather than against the house. This creates a more efficient, fair, and profitable sports trading experience.
What will you do?
Own the end‑to‑end recruiting process across technical, product, and business roles from sourcing and outreach to closing.
Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to define role requirements and build clear hiring plans.
Develop creative sourcing strategies to attract top talent from both traditional and nontraditional channels.
Act as the first point of contact for candidates, ensuring a smooth, high‑touch experience throughout the process.
Build and manage a pipeline of qualified candidates to support rapid scaling.
Drive consistency and rigor in interview processes while championing speed and efficiency.
Track, analyse, and report on recruiting metrics to help the team make data‑driven decisions.
Represent the company brand externally and act as an ambassador in candidate interactions, events, and industry networks.
Ensure that every candidate who interacts with Novig becomes an advocate for the company, regardless of whether they receive an offer to join.
What are we looking for?
3‑6+ years of in‑house recruiting experience in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
Proven ability to hire across multiple functions (product, engineering, business/ops) or deep expertise in one core area with appetite to stretch.
Strong sourcing chops – able to go beyond LinkedIn with scrappy, creative tactics.
Excellent communication skills – can represent Novig effectively and sell our vision.
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple concurrent searches.
Comfort working in ambiguity with a bias toward speed, experimentation, and results.
Genuine passion for building teams and shaping company culture through hiring.
Nice to Have
Experience recruiting at an early‑stage startup (Series A/B) where systems/processes weren’t already in place.
Familiarity with sports, trading, or prediction markets or a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly in new domains.
Track record of closing senior/leadership hires.
Ability to build and iterate on recruiting infrastructure (ATS setup, interview training, process documentation).
Analytical mindset with comfort tracking recruiting funnel metrics and reporting to leadership.
Existing network of top operators/engineers that can be tapped early.
Technical chops (basic frontend, no‑code, or light scripting experience).
Experience with creative tools such as Figma, Photoshop, Adobe Premiere CC, or others.
