Job description

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead – someone who lives and breathes recruiting, thrives on ownership, and knows how to build pipelines from scratch. You’ll play a key role in finding and closing the best talent globally while shaping the systems and processes that will fuel our growth.

In this role, you will :

  • Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines using direct sourcing and tailored outreach campaigns
  • Conduct engaging screening calls that qualify talent quickly and leave candidates excited to join
  • Manage end-to-end recruiting processes – scorecards, interviews, reference checks, and offers
  • Track and analyze key hiring metrics to improve speed, quality, and candidate experience
  • Identify and fix bottlenecks in real time while continuously improving recruiting workflows
  • Partner on employer branding and messaging to ensure every outreach reflects our values and tone
  • This is a full-time, fully remote role with working hours that overlap with EST (you’ll often recruit for U.S.-based roles).

About You

To excel in this role, you need :

  • 5–7 years of full-cycle talent acquisition experience, ideally across international teams
  • 2–3 years of experience designing or optimizing recruitment processes
  • Proven track record sourcing and closing candidates globally
  • Experience in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments
  • Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter, Google Sheets, Slack, Zoom, and ATS / CRM systems
  • Excellent communication skills – especially over video
  • Strong analytical and data-driven mindset
  • Experience running A / B tests or using split testing for messaging
  • Familiarity with AI recruiting tools or automation workflows
  • Background in building recruiting functions from scratch
  • You’re a confident closer who thrives in the hunt for top talent. You’re proactive, resourceful, and deeply people-focused – someone who can judge fit and alignment with ease. You care about processes, but you move fast. You hold yourself to high standards, communicate openly, and always find a way to deliver results.

    What’s in it for you?

  • Full-time | Fully Remote | EST overlap required
  • Work from anywhere while collaborating with a high-performing global team
  • Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonuses tied to successful hires
  • Career growth – build and lead the talent engine of a scaling company
  • Access to cutting-edge recruiting tech, AI tools, and automation workflows
  • Autonomy, influence, and the opportunity to shape how our teams grow
  • Future leadership opportunities as we expand into new markets
  • Please note that this is a gross salary and that you are responsible for any tax-related procedures in your country of residence. We kindly ask you to apply only if you are happy to work remotely as an independent contractor.
