[Hiring] Head of Recruitment @Mercuryo

Role Description

We are looking for a Head of Recruitment to lead our Recruitment team. This role offers unparalleled access to the heart of the crypto and fintech industries, where you'll work with the best minds in Web3 to build the function that attracts and hires top-tier talent.

Reporting to CHRO, you'll lead a team of recruiters, partner directly with hiring managers, business leaders, and executives to scale our growing teams globally.

• Own the recruitment strategy and function end-to-end, from workforce planning and sourcing to offer negotiation and onboarding.
• Lead and develop a team of recruiters, setting standards, coaching on execution, and owning team performance.
• Personally lead searches for Senior, Head, and Director-level roles, managing complex, high-stakes hiring processes end-to-end.
• Act as a trusted advisor to C-level stakeholders — shape role strategy, present market insights, and influence hiring decisions at the leadership level.
• Partner with hiring managers across functions to define hiring needs and build a scalable, repeatable pipeline process.
• Own sourcing strategy across the team, including headhunting, networking, and community engagement.
• Own the hiring budget and forecasting — plan headcount and cost-per-hire across teams, track spend against plan, and report on budget performance to leadership.
• Define and own core recruitment metrics, using them to drive decisions and continuously improve the function.
• Own the candidate experience end-to-end and continuously improve it across the hiring funnel.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in full-cycle recruitment, including at least 2 years leading a recruitment team within fintech or Web3.
• Proven track record building and scaling a recruitment function, not just individual hiring.
• Experience hiring across global markets, including EU, US, and APAC — you understand regional hiring practices, compensation benchmarks, and compliance nuances.
• Proven ability to source and attract top talent through creative and strategic methods.
• Experience partnering with hiring managers and senior/executive leadership to drive hiring initiatives.
• Experience owning a hiring budget and forecasting headcount/cost across multiple teams.
• Strong command of recruitment metrics and reporting — comfortable defining KPIs, building dashboards, and using data to influence leadership decisions.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and influence at all levels.
• Data-driven approach to recruitment, with experience using ATS and other HR tools, and building reporting/dashboards.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, remote-first environment and lead others through ambiguity.
• English proficiency C1: you'll be communicating daily with candidates and stakeholders across global markets.
• Active use of AI tools in day-to-day work: from sourcing and outreach to candidate assessment and pipeline management.
