About the Role
Imagine you are building something new for us: a unified recruiting department for our nationwide retail touchpoints and agency areas. You will shape how we attract talent in the future: with shared processes, standards, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
You will lead your recruiting team both disciplinarily and technically, filling positions in stores and retail areas, as well as in project management, creation, or consulting, and making AVANTGARDE visible as an employer. You will report to the Talent & Culture leadership and be the central contact person for our German company executives regarding staffing.
In short: You will build, lead, staff, and ensure that our teams in stores, on retail areas, and in the agency start with the right people.
Responsibilities
- Recruiting Stream Development: You will merge the recruiting for frontline and agency into a single department and introduce uniform processes, standards, and KPIs.
- Leadership: You will lead your recruiting team disciplinarily and technically, distribute and prioritize job openings, and develop the team.
- Job Filling & Prioritization: Together with the executives, you will prioritize open positions, store and retail openings, and new projects, manage the selection process, and conduct interviews.
- Employer Branding & Channels: You will be responsible for campaigns, the careers page, LinkedIn, job portals, and our recommendation program, and allocate the budget where it is most effective.
- KPIs & Reporting: You will define KPIs such as time-to-hire and cost per hire, identify bottlenecks early, and report to the Talent & Culture leadership and our clients.
- Clients & Interfaces: You will coordinate recruiting topics with our clients and work closely with other HR teams, such as HR Services and HR Training.
Requirements
- Experience: You have several years of experience in talent acquisition, ideally with some experience in the technical or disciplinary leadership of recruiters, preferably at an agency, HR or sales service provider, or in a retail chain.
- Recruiting Breadth: You have filled many positions in parallel under time pressure, such as during openings or project starts, and have recruited both specialists and managers through active sourcing.
- Structure & Employer Branding: You have set up or restructured recruiting structures and managed employer branding campaigns and job portals.
- Methods & Tools: You are confident in structured interviews and recruiting KPIs, work with applicant management systems, ideally Personio, and are familiar with AGG and DSGVO. Experience with AI-supported recruiting tools is a plus.
- Personality: You present yourself confidently to applicants, executives, and clients, enforce standards, and maintain an overview even with many parallel job openings.
- Languages & Travel: You have fluent German and good English skills and travel to locations, agency areas, and client appointments as needed.
We Offer
- Bye, bye boredom – We offer you flexible models such as home office option, individual time management, and job rotation
- Fernweh? With us, you have the opportunity to work remotely for up to 3 weeks per year
- Ride your bike into the countryside, sweat in the gym, or go on an extensive shopping tour – a company bike, a discounted Body & Soul membership, and numerous discount campaigns make it possible
- Be part of our legendary team and company events. These are mainly about gathering inspiration, exchanging ideas, and networking
- And let's not forget: With us, you spend your coffee and lunch breaks on Munich's most beautiful rooftop terrace with its own barista and real sheep
