You'll hire for the functions you know best: technical, go-to-market or general business roles. **Getting started** In your first two weeks, you'll check in daily with your pplwise lead and teammates.

You'll also know the goals of the teams and the roles you'll be hiring for. You'll have built relationships with the hiring managers and their teams, and you'll have put together a delivery forecast using the pplwise methodology. From there you'll take ownership of your roles, build pipelines and proactively share insights with key stakeholders so bottlenecks are spotted and dealt with early. **What you'll do** - Own the client's hiring goals end to end, in tech roles or in go-to-market and business roles. - Source and engage candidates across the German market, using your network and market knowledge. - Manage stakeholders proactively, acting as a strategic partner who spots bottlenecks and solves them through clear communication and critical thinking. - Build and run hiring forecasts. Choose the right channels and strategies, with a clear sense of urgency and backward planning. - Use recruiting systems and data to drive decisions before and during each search. - Deliver an excellent candidate experience from first contact to offer. - Work closely with the wider pplwise team, giving and getting support on sourcing or delivery bottlenecks. **What you bring** - Several years of full-cycle recruiting in startups, scale-ups or other high-growth environments. Agency experience is a plus. - Strong knowledge of the German talent market. - An understanding of how tech organisations are structured at different growth stages, and the ability to help hiring managers define roles. - Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. - Decisions based on data and facts. - High standards for stakeholder satisfaction. - An ambitious, collaborative mindset. - Fluent German and very good English, written and spoken. **What we offer** - A dynamic, high-impact project helping a fast-growing space-tech company scale. - Fully remote work with flexibility and autonomy. - Competitive pay, either an hourly rate (freelance) or a salary (full-time). - A talented, ambitious and collaborative team of Talent Partners to work alongside. - The pplwise playbook, frameworks and training to help you deliver at a consistently high standard. pplwise actively fosters a diverse and inclusive environment that values every candidate's individuality.
