ABOUT SOLINK

Solink turns video security into real-time operational insight for over 35,000 locations across 60 countries, including brands like McDonald's and JYSK. We’ve grown over 95% since 2023, backed by a US$60M Series C led by Goldman Sachs, and we're building toward becoming an AI-first generational Canadian tech company.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Talent Business Partner who sees recruiting as a business function, not just a hiring process.

You'll partner directly with leaders to understand their business goals, workforce plans, and organizational challenges, then build and execute hiring strategies that help them achieve those outcomes. You'll challenge assumptions, bring market intelligence to the table, influence hiring decisions with data, and ensure the business is making thoughtful, long-term talent investments.

While you'll own full-cycle recruitment, your success will be measured by more than filling roles. You'll be expected to improve hiring quality, raise the talent bar, build proactive talent pipelines, and help leaders make better people decisions. You'll be accountable for the quality of every hire, not just filling open roles. By partnering closely with leaders, you'll ensure hiring decisions strengthen teams, raise the talent bar, and support long-term business success.
