Our Mission
Human time and effort is the rarest thing in the universe. The fact that so many people hate what they do for work is a disaster on so many levels. How many people live quiet lives of misery? How many generational talents do we miss due to circumstance?
Dex’s mission is to close the gap between Talent & Opportunity, we believe that work, and being productive, is part of the human condition, that regardless of AI, human passion, ingenuity and a desire to do things means that work will always exist.
We are building Dex to create a future where technology helps every individual to understand their strengths, interests and unique abilities, and to connect with opportunities where they can thrive, because more people doing things they love leads to a better, happier and more productive world.
We are starting by connecting the world's most ambitious software engineers with the companies that deserve them.
About Dex
Dex is backed by Notion Capital, a16z and Concept Ventures, with angels from OpenAI, Wise, ElevenLabs, Meta's board, and many more. We're an ambitious, direct and kind group of people, we value authenticity, ambition and people who make things happen.
We're a team of 18 (and growing) based in London. We work together 3 times a week because we value in person time, but we're person centric and flexible. We hire adults who can manage their own schedules.
About the Role
As a company that helps exceptional engineers and companies connect, we know just how important hiring, and attracting the right talent is.
We are looking for our first internal recruiter here at Dex - the person to help us build the machine that helps others to hire their hardest to fill roles.
We are building a world class team of highly motivated, passionate people, and this role’s objective is to ensure that we do that in an excellent way.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
From supporting our hiring managers to scope, research and define roles to sourcing, screening and closing in demand talent, you’ll own the full end to end hiring process.
You’ll be part of a team that deeply understands and respects hiring, we have 70+ years of hiring experience in the team. You’ll also be a tester for our product as we always use Dex on our internal tech hiring.
You’ll be a custodian of the bar and the culture that we are building here at Dex, helping us to find the talent that moves the needle for the business.
In this role you will:
- Own every open role at Dex from brief to signed offer
- Source directly. The people we want aren't applying to things, you'll find them before they're looking
- Scope upcoming roles before they exist, and push back when a role is really two roles or shouldn't be hired at all
- Run a candidate experience worthy of a company that sells great candidate experience. Fast, honest, human
- Close senior people with competing offers, on conviction and the Dex story, not just the package
- Build the hiring engine as you go: process, pipeline discipline, employer brand, so hire 50 is easier than hire 20
About you
You are highly organised, compelling and driven.
Your pipelines move fast, you stay on top of your admin. You tell great stories, you know how to engage with a wide variety of different people.
You know how to source, and know the difference between effective recruitment tools and hype. You’re credible with hiring managers and understand the difference between being an order taker and a true partner to your stakeholders.
We are looking for someone that is incredibly motivated to build an exceptional team solving a problem that truly matters

Note: We know that talent can't be summed up in a few bullet points. Even if you don't match everything we've mentioned, we don't want that to be a barrier. If you're excited about what we're building, we want to hear from you.
Why this is a great opportunity
Dex represents an opportunity to join a well funded, cash generative business that works with some of the most interesting people and companies in the world.
We’re growing fast and are set to more than double in headcount between the UK and US over the next 12 months, with the opportunity to build out the discipline, to work on a wide variety of interesting and new roles. This is also a team that deeply understands hiring, how difficult and how important it is. Whilst it’s a stand alone role you’ll have experienced hiring leaders around you day to day.
