[Hiring] Senior Talent Acquisition @Hiire

Role Description

You know how to place tech talent. What you're tired of is the mess around it: vague briefs, slow client feedback, no process, chasing your own colleagues for updates. You want to walk into a place where the system works so you can focus on what you're good at: finding the right person and closing them.

That's the job.

What you'll own:

• 3–6 active tech roles at any time, end-to-end: brief → shortlist → offer → onboarded
• Hitting the metrics that matter: time-to-shortlist < 7 days, CV-to-interview > 40%, offer acceptance > 85%
• Candidate experience that doesn't embarrass us. Every candidate gets feedback, every interview gets a debrief. No excuses.
• ATS hygiene: notes within 12 hours, no duplicates, pipeline always current
• Weekly client updates that hiring managers actually enjoy to read.
• Calling out broken processes when you see them. We improve our SOPs based on what doesn't work in practice.

What you won't do:

• BD or cold outbound — that sits with the founder. You'll spot opportunities in your accounts and pass them on, but you're not on a sales target.
• Manage other recruiters. This is an individual contributor role. (If you want a manager track later, we can talk, but the next 6-12 months, you're delivering well.)

Qualifications

• At least 3+ years in tech recruitment, agency or RPO.
• A track record you can talk through: how many placements last year, what stack, what fee level, what fell through and why.
• Process discipline. If you're the recruiter whose ATS is always a mess, we'll find out soon.
• Strong on the unsexy parts: pre-closing, counter-offer prep, reference checks, structured screening.
• Fluent English and Portuguese, non-negotiable. We have local and international accounts.
• Calm under pressure. Tech recruitment has bad weeks. We need someone who keeps the desk moving.

Benefits

• Base: 2000€–3000€ + commission on placements.
• The commission scheme is transparent and paid monthly on invoice receipt.
• B2B / freelance contract in Portugal.
• Fully remote. Maybe 1–2 client visits per quarter.
• 25 days off (with Dec 24 & 31).
• Bi-annual reviews, bi-annual team retreats.
• We read every reply.
