Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end recruitment for open roles across multiple functions, from intake to offer within the EMEA region.

Requirements

• Three or more years in recruitment, in-house or agency, ideally with exposure to hiring across different functions.
• A structured, organized way of working – managing multiple recruitment processes simultaneously while maintaining quality and attention to detail.
• Sound judgement in assessing people: you can tell signal from noise and back your recommendations with evidence and market data.
• A builder’s instinct for your own workflow – automating the boring parts, testing new tools, and finding smarter ways to do things.
• Genuine curiosity and learning agility – staying ahead of the tools and market changes.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills with candidates and colleagues alike.
• The ability to identify and engage passive talent through LinkedIn and other sourcing channels.
