Requirements
• Act as a player-coach within the TA team: provide dotted-line guidance to a small team of TA Partners, support prioritisation, coach on search strategy and stakeholder management, and help unblock execution. • Elevate TA craft across the team: raise standards for candidate experience, sourcing quality, stakeholder management, data literacy, and business understanding. • Expert-level engineering recruiting craft. You run complex technical searches end to end, care deeply about candidate experience, and consistently deliver strong outcomes on hard-to-fill roles. • Strong in-house recruiting experience. You've partnered closely with Engineering Directors, VPs, CTOs, or similarly senior technical stakeholders and earned their trust. • Experience turning workforce plans into hiring strategies. You take business priorities and headcount plans and translate them into clear, sequenced, actionable hiring plans with strong process and execution discipline: operating rhythms, weekly tracking, early risk flags, multiple tracks moving in parallel. • A track record of improving hiring systems at scale. You've raised pipeline quality, pass-through rates, sourcing performance, or hiring predictability across teams or locations, including through AI and technology. • Experience leading calibration and quality. You've defined hiring bars, built or refined scorecards, and helped hiring teams make better, more consistent decisions. You use data and evidence to drive those conversations. • A strong IC mindset with a genuine interest in growing as a people leader. You take pride in excellent recruiting work and want to stay close to the craft, while also being excited to coach, mentor, and develop other recruiters through formal or informal leadership. • Strong influence and communication skills. You create clarity, challenge thoughtfully, and build trust with senior stakeholders and peers. • A team-first, low-ego approach. Collaborative, generous with knowledge, and motivated by raising the bar for Engineering hiring and the TA function overall. • Fluency in English and readiness to work from Barcelona, London, or Kyiv, or openness to relocating to join us in Barcelona.
Responsibilities
• Own the Engineering hiring engine end to end: understand workforce plans, clarify hiring priorities, translate them into hiring strategies, and make sure the team is set up to deliver against business needs. • Drive hiring outcomes across technical domains and hubs: take accountability for progress, quality, and delivery across Engineering hiring in our main hubs Barcelona, London and Kyiv, while personally owning complex and high-impact searches. • Build and optimise hiring processes: identify what slows us down, where quality drops, or where ownership is unclear - then improve the process so we can hire top talent in the most effective way. • Track progress through data: run a strong weekly hiring rhythm, using funnel data, pipeline quality, pass-through rates, time in stage, sourcing performance, and stakeholder feedback to understand what’s working and what needs to change. • Flag risks early and solve them fast: spot blockers before they become bigger issues, bring clear recommendations, and work with TA, Engineering, and cross-functional partners to keep hiring moving. • Lead top-of-funnel strategy for Engineering: shape sourcing, talent mapping, talent intelligence, and employer branding in partnership with Marketing and Employer Brand. Build consistent, high-quality pipelines for priority roles.
