Your Mission
Your mission is straightforward: to source and select the best talent, no compromise, and keep raising the bar among our people. The fundamentals are in place - an amazing product, solid funding, top class leadership - and now hiring needs to move faster, smarter, and more creatively than ever before. We’re looking for a senior recruiter who has scaled teams in high-growth startups before, understands deep tech talent, and knows how to combine strong recruiting fundamentals with the most effective AI tools and unconventional thinking to consistently deliver results. This role partners closely with founders and senior leadership to scale technical and business teams without compromising quality or culture.
Your main task is to accelerate Impossible Cloud growth by relentlessly building, qualifying, and developing a high-volume, high-quality candidate pipeline and select only the best.
Please note that we can only consider candidates who have a valid, unrestricted work permit for the EU (not a student visa).
What you will do:
- Own end-to-end recruiting across technical and non-technical roles in a Series A scaling environment
- Scale hiring with structure and speed and build and maintain strong pipelines
- Go beyond traditional sourcing to make an impact: design creative, high-signal sourcing strategies that work in competitive markets
- Actively research and leverage existing and emerging AI recruiting tools to improve sourcing, screening, outreach, and hiring efficiency
- Continuously refine recruiting processes to support growth from Series A toward Series B and beyond
- Partner with hiring managers as a strategic advisor, bringing data into decisions
- Maintain a high bar for candidate experience while moving with urgency
- Track and optimise recruiting metrics to inform hiring strategy and make data driven decisions
What you bring:
- 5+ years of recruiting experience (or an outstanding talent to make up for less experience), with a strong background in high-growth startups or high pressure agencies
- Enthusiasm for technology and experience hiring in tech environments
- Experience scaling teams in a post-product, post-funding environment (Series A or later)
- Demonstrated ability to think outside the box and adapt recruiting strategies as the company grows
- Hands-on experience using AI tools in recruiting and automation, and strong curiosity about what’s next and how to work smarter
- Ability to balance speed, quality, and process as hiring volume increases
- Strong stakeholder management skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and an additional European language.
Bonus Points
- End-to-end recruiting (inc sourcing) in a tech start-up
- Strong academic track record (Bachelor’s / Master’s from a solid university)
- Fluent in German
