Recruiter (m/w/d) | T-1 VC Backed Stealth Startup with 80+ Employees

You'll work directly with our Head of People as the second person in a small, high-trust People & Talent function in our T-1 VC backed Mobility Start-up.

Currently 75+ people across 3 locations and 14+ stores in Germany , hiring toward ~95 by year-end and heading into our next stage.

This is a build role, not a maintenance one: You'll own projects end-to-end , work with real data, and operate at the intersection of operations, strategy and execution.

Tasks Kill manual work.

Find the processes that shouldn't exist and remove them — Notion hygiene, HRIS setup, workflow automation.

You treat "we've always done it manually" as a bug.

Recruiting, with full ownership of your own roles.

A reliable bridge between candidates and hiring managers.

You run a defined set of positions yourself; the senior and hardest-to-fill searches stay with the Head of People, so you're set up to win, not to drown.

Onboarding & offboarding, end to end.

From signed contract to a productive first week, and to clean, correct exits.

Built to scale, not just to work once.

Compliance and operations, airtight.

Employment contracts, certificates, references, compliance documentation across all sites — accurate and on time, every time.

Employee benefits, evidence-based.

Research, benchmark, and implement

from data, not gut feel.

Employer brand & job-ad content.

Help craft how our roles and culture show up to candidates — sharp job ads, careers content, a hiring experience people talk about. (If you also bring paid-channel skills, great, but it's not what this role is judged on.) Your own judgment.

If you spot something missing or broken, you say so — and then you fix it.

Requirements Some experience in start-up ecosystem and/or people systems is a definitive plus.

Internships count.

Structured and precise: nothing falls through the cracks, nothing gets left half-finished Fluent German (C2) is a hard requirement.

Professional-level English You think in systems: if you do something twice, by the third time you're already building the process Works independently and closes the loop without being chased Discreet – you'll handle sensitive information and take that seriously Comfortable with ambiguity and able to prioritise when everything feels urgent
