  • Ensure the effective execution of the entire selection process (planning, execution, reporting), including contracting service providers and maintaining compliance.
  • Provide timely, analytical recruitment reports and actionable insights. Collaborate on selection data analysis to recommend improvements and support the design of rigorous assessment tools.
  • Effectively track and update the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and dashboards. Refine automated candidate communications with the technical team.
  • Represent the client at local, regional, and international events to build brand awareness and strengthen its positioning.
What our client is looking for:

  • 5+ years experience in founders sourcing, startup scouting, or recruitment for entrepreneurship development programs.
  • Familiarity with entrepreneurship ecosystems, cross-country recruitment, and proven ability to build partnerships for pipeline development and manage stakeholders.
  • Experience leading teams on founders scouting initiatives and experience in data analysis.
  • Advanced proficiency in digital productivity tools (Microsoft Office, Asana, etc).
  • Strong skills in Proactivity/Self-Management, Adaptability/Resilience, Communication, Team Collaboration, Planning/Organization, Attention to Detail, Leadership/Stakeholder Management, Results-Driven Problem-Solving, and Program Management.
