Mistral is a full-stack AI company providing frontier models, developer tools, applications, and compute infrastructure. The company partners with enterprises across finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector to co-create customized AI systems.
As a Talent Acquisition Specialist for EMEA, you will build and scale Mistral's European, Middle Eastern, and African teams across corporate functions (Finance, Legal, People, Operations, Marketing, Communications) and go-to-market roles (Sales, Pre-Sales/Solutions, Partnerships, Customer Success, Revenue Operations).
Key responsibilities include:
**Stakeholder Partnership**: Partner with Corporate and GTM leaders to understand hiring needs, define role specifications, and identify talent across multiple EMEA markets. Own full-cycle recruitment and advise hiring managers on market mapping, leveling, compensation positioning, and competitive landscape considerations across different countries.
**End-to-End Recruitment**: Source passive and active candidates across EMEA, particularly in AI/ML, open-source software, and enterprise infrastructure. Conduct intake sessions, build efficient pipelines, and navigate cross-border hiring complexity including relocation and country-specific employment frameworks.
**Candidate Experience**: Guide candidates through the hiring process with clear communication. Articulate Mistral's positioning in the AI landscape and provide insight into GTM motion, corporate operations, and role impact. Deliver high-quality candidate experience at every stage.
**Recruiting Operations**: Develop and refine recruiting processes and tools. Use data to diagnose pipeline issues and propose solutions. Build market maps and competitive intelligence for key EMEA segments. Standardize interview rubrics and scorecards across EMEA teams.
**Strategy & Growth**: Collaborate with leadership to elevate hiring standards and define EMEA talent acquisition strategy as the company scales. Partner on employer-brand and outbound sourcing initiatives.
You bring 6+ years of recruiting experience, including 2+ years in a startup or high-growth B2B SaaS/infrastructure company, with focus on Corporate functions and/or Sales/GTM roles. You have demonstrated ability to hire independently across the full GTM stack and key Corporate functions. Deep network in EMEA talent markets, particularly in AI/ML, open-source, developer tools, or enterprise software. Track record of hiring in competitive, candidate-scarce markets with cross-border and multi-language hiring experience.
