We started life as an SME lender in the Philippines in 2016 to solve the SME credit gap by using technology to systemise underwriting, deliver exceptional UX, and automate away delivery costs. We’ve delivered our clients the fastest, cheapest, most flexible credit line available to businesses anywhere in Southeast Asia. We’ve been rewarded with both fast growth and exceptional unit economics, a rare combination in our space.\nOver the past two years we’ve expanded our product range to include business bank accounts & payments, e-Invoices, corporate credit cards, rooftop solar, and most recently deposits catalysed by securing a full bank charter in the Philippines. In 2027, we’ll expand our geographical coverage to include at least two new markets in APAC.\nOur excellent track record results from our people & culture. We combine high standards & intensity with a collegiate environment. Our barometers of success are the rate of personal growth of our people, how long high performers choose to stay, and ensuring we raise the bar with every hire.\nAs we continue to scale, we're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to own end-to-end hiring corporate and operations roles to be based in the Philippines: from defining the role with the hiring manager through sourcing, assessment, and offer close. You’ll build pipelines for hard-to-fill roles through direct outreach, referrals, and targeted sourcing, and help hiring managers make consistent decisions using structured interviews and evaluations to attract, assess, and close great talent. You will also help build an efficient recruiting system that keeps pace with our growth.\nWhat success looks like in your first six months\nYou independently run your hiring roles, with clear role briefs, agreed hiring timelines, and timely updates to hiring managers and candidates.\nYou build repeatable sourcing pipelines for priority roles and can show which channels produce qualified candidates.\nYou use pipeline data to identify where hiring is slowing down and can point to a change you made and its effect.\nWhat you will do\nEnd-to-end recruitment ownership: Manage the full hiring process for assigned operational roles, from intake calls with hiring managers until offer and closing the role.\nBuilding recruiting strategy: Build and own the hiring strategy for the business, shaping sourcing channels, role prioritization, and timelines in partnership with hiring managers and leadership.\n Reporting & employer branding: Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness), investigate on bottlenecks, and contribute to employer branding projects and initiatives.\nRequirements\nRelevant experience: At least 3-5 years of end-to-end recruiting experience, ideally in a fast-paced or start-up environment. Fintech, tech, or e-commerce industry experience is preferred.\n Demonstrated outbound sourcing experience: Strong sourcing experience from different channels (job boards, social media, etc.) for hard-to-fill and niche roles.\nCommunication & judgment: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the judgment to represent First Circle well to candidates.\nOrganization & ownership: Strong task and project management abilities to run multiple open roles at once; meticulous, detail-oriented, and execution-focused with minimal need for supervision.\nData fluency: Comfortable working with data to track pipeline health and recruiting metrics.\nEmployer branding experience is preferred.\nBenefits\nHighly competitive perks & benefits: HMO coverage from week one, free catered lunches, provided work equipment, monthly fitness, transportation, and accommodation allowances, and more.\nHybrid work set-up: 2 days per week in the BGC office.\nJoin a team with a deeply collaborative culture.
