As Talent Acquisition Manager reporting to the Head of People & Talent, you will own hiring across the entire business as Spiko scales. This is a hands-on headhunting role, not a process-management position. You'll partner closely with all functions—engineering, product, and beyond—to identify and recruit top talent in a competitive market.
Key responsibilities include:
**Sourcing & Headhunting**: Proactively source and approach passive candidates across the business. Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline ahead of need through market mapping, targeted outreach, and deep understanding of candidate motivations. Bring genuine headhunting rigor rather than relying solely on inbound or agency-fed recruitment.
**Hiring Process & Candidate Experience**: Own the full-cycle recruitment process from job calibration with hiring managers through offer stage. Design and run structured, fast-moving interview processes that reflect Spiko's pace and standards. Ensure every candidate—hired or not—has an excellent experience with the company.
**Partnering with Leadership**: Run tight calibration loops with hiring managers and founders on job descriptions, scorecards, and candidate profiles. Provide market insights including compensation benchmarks, talent pool sizing, and sourcing strategy. Act as a trusted advisor, not just an order-taker.
**Process & Continuous Improvement**: Track and report on pipeline health, time-to-hire, and sourcing channel performance. Identify bottlenecks and suggest concrete improvements. Help build scalable TA processes and tools as the company grows.
You'll need 4+ years of genuine talent acquisition experience with proven headhunting skills (direct sourcing, market mapping, cold outreach), a track record hiring for startups, and excellent English. Comfort in fast-moving, ambiguous early-stage environments is essential, along with strong stakeholder management skills and a data-informed approach to recruitment. Experience in high-growth startups, fintech, or building TA processes from scratch is a plus.
Spiko offers central Paris and London offices with flexible remote work (up to 2 days per week, one full remote week monthly), 100% health insurance coverage, monthly perks budget, referral bonuses, and regular social events and offsites.
