About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You independently source the best talent on LinkedIn and other channels for Product, Engineering, AI Success, Marketing, and Sales.
You lead the entire interview process and convince top candidates that SelectCode is the right place for them.
You build structured, scalable onboarding processes: new team members should be productive from day one, feel well integrated immediately, and be set up to grow quickly.
You think strategically: Which skills do we need in which teams? How can we become more efficient through smart tools and processes?
You conduct feedback and development conversations to ensure our people continue to grow.
You strengthen our culture — witty, energetic, authentic — by organizing team events and bringing in new ideas.
You handle the basics — leave requests, preparatory payroll tasks, etc. — but we are automating these step by step. This will remain a minimal part of your work.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You have built sub-teams (e.g., grown a team from 1 to 5 people) and know what it takes to make onboarding and scaling work.
You have owned recruiting processes end-to-end — not just coordinated them, but managed them and conducted interviews yourself.
You adapt quickly to new situations and stay organized even with shifting priorities.
You have a good sense for who fits with us — both technically AND culturally — and can excite candidates about our vision.
You work AI-first: you use ChatGPT & Co. thoughtfully and pragmatically in your day-to-day, have implemented use cases, and are always looking for optimization opportunities.
You communicate fluently and clearly in German and English.
Experience guideline: 3–5 years of relevant HR experience — but if you can do the things described above and are eager to take on responsibility, that matters more than the number of years.

Benefits

Comp & perks

Role with genuine ownership: you’ll work closely with Co-Founder Stephan and jointly take responsibility for one of the most important areas for our scaling.
Real influence: a lot is happening right now — we’re growing, building, and evolving. You actively shape that process rather than just observing it.
Steep learning curve guaranteed: from working with AI agents to building an AI-first organization — you’ll learn things here that others won’t experience for years.
Flexible working hours with the option to work 2 days/week from home.
Additional benefits such as access to over 10,000 sports facilities via the EGYM Wellpass and the Deutschlandticket.
