About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You take on full-cycle recruiting projects for our clients, from briefing and sourcing through screening, hiring-manager calibration and process management to the offer stage.
You work embedded in clients' systems — for example their ATS, Slack, email setups or hiring meetings — while maintaining the connection to the MatchWave team.
You bring speed and reliability to recruiting processes without sacrificing quality.
You build clear scorecards, structured pipelines and transparent weekly updates so clients always know the status of their open assignments.
You make sure hiring managers feel well advised: you listen, bring structure and help them make better decisions.
You identify suitable candidates for commercial roles such as Sales, Marketing, GTM, Operations or Customer Success. Tech recruiting can be part of the role but is not mandatory.
You use modern tools like Granola, GPT or Claude productively in your day-to-day recruiting and are keen to continuously make processes smarter, faster and better.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have approximately 3–6 years of experience in recruiting, including at least 2 years of truly independent full‑cycle recruiting.
You have previously filled commercial roles, for example Sales, SDR/AE, Marketing, GTM, Customer Success or Operations.
You haven’t just supported recruiting — you have taken full ownership from briefing through to offer.
You are familiar with dynamic environments such as startups, scale‑ups, growing SMEs, embedded recruiting, RPO or consulting setups.
You work in a structured and transparent way: scorecards, pipeline updates, weekly reports and clean hiring processes are not extras for you but part of good work.
You have a genuine service mindset.
You want to make clients successful: you think along, follow through and propose improvements.
You communicate confidently in German and English and can work clearly, reliably and empathetically with hiring managers, candidates and our internal team.
