Your mission as a Talent Acquisition Partner

In this role, you'll own end-to-end hiring across business and technical functions, partnering closely with hiring managers to attract, engage, and hire exceptional talent. As a trusted advisor, you'll provide market insights, challenge assumptions, and help shape hiring decisions.

This role goes far beyond managing recruitment processes: We are looking for someone who thrives on identifying talent, proactively building pipelines, optimizing hiring strategies, and continuously improving recruitment outcomes through data and insights.

What you'll be doing

Own end-to-end recruitment across business roles while also managing some and technical roles

Partner with hiring managers to define hiring needs and recruitment strategies

Build and execute proactive sourcing strategies across the DACH region and other key markets (France, Spain, UK, US, Latam)

Create and nurture talent pipelines for critical and hard-to-fill roles

Deliver an exceptional candidate experience throughout the hiring process

Use recruitment data to identify bottlenecks and continuously improve hiring effectiveness

Leverage ATS and recruitment technologies to streamline processes and reporting

Stay up to date on market trends, sourcing best practices, and emerging recruiting technologies

You have successfully hired across business functions, and have been exposed to hiring for tech roles

You understand and have an interest learning about the Market Research industry and key target talent pools

You are an exceptional sourcer with a proven track record of generating hires through proactive outreach

You are confident partnering with and constructively challenging hiring managers

You use data and metrics to drive decisions and improve hiring outcomes

You proactively identify opportunities and solve problems rather than simply executing requests

You have extensive experience with ATS and recruitment technology, ideally Greenhouse and/or Ashby
