Recruiter & Talent Architect

My client is behind some of the most successful online shops in the DACH region – more than 80 million people interact with the websites they manage every month. They work with brands like Snocks, Kickz, Blackroll, Coop, Holy, AG1, and KoRo – and deliver growth at Champions League level.

Their goal: to become the global market leader in their field within the next 5–10 years.

To achieve this, they need you – a hungry, ambitious Recruiter who finds, convinces, and retains top talent across Sales, Marketing, Tech, and niche roles. You will own the entire recruiting funnel, from active sourcing and first interviews to final hiring.

• Build and maintain a long-term talent pipeline.

• Position the company as a top employer for A-players.
  

• Ensure every hire increases revenue per employee.
  

• Convince passive candidates to join.
  

• Manage the full recruiting funnel, from first contact to signed contract.
