[Hiring] Talent Acquisition Specialist @WorkMotion

Role Description

We don’t just need a Talent Acquisition Specialist, EMEA — we need a Talent Matchmaker & Growth Engine. We’re looking for someone who gets their energy from discovering exceptional talent, building genuine connections, and helping scale remote teams, while keeping a sharp, analytical focus on how hiring quality drives business success.

This is a four-month fixed-term opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership and making an impact. You’ll manage full-cycle recruitment across both technical and non-technical roles, partnering with teams across EMEA to attract, engage, and secure the right talent.

• Drive Full-Cycle Recruitment: Own end-to-end recruitment across EMEA for a variety of technical roles (Engineering, Product) and non-technical roles (Sales, Operations, Marketing, and other business functions).
• Source Exceptional Talent: Leverage creative sourcing strategies, AI-powered search tools, and direct outreach to identify and engage high-quality talent across EMEA markets, including passive candidates.
• Elevate Candidate Experience: Deliver a fast, transparent, and engaging recruitment process that makes candidates feel valued and gives them a positive impression of WorkMotion.
• Partner with Hiring Managers: Act as a trusted recruitment partner, advising hiring managers on talent availability, salary benchmarks, market trends, and sourcing strategies.
• Manage Recruitment Priorities: Balance multiple requisitions, maintain momentum across hiring processes, and ensure timely communication and follow-up with candidates and stakeholders.
• Optimize Talent Acquisition: Use recruitment data and conversion metrics to identify opportunities, improve time-to-hire, and continuously refine our hiring practices.
• Champion Diversity & Inclusion: Promote inclusive sourcing strategies and fair evaluation standards throughout every stage of the recruitment process.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a Talent Acquisition Specialist, with hands-on recruitment experience across both technical and non-technical roles, ideally within EMEA.
• Exceptional organization, prioritization, and time-management skills, with a high sense of urgency and the ability to manage multiple high-priority requisitions simultaneously.
• Solid practical understanding of ATS platforms, ideally Workable, and experience collaborating through Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Drive).
• Proficiency in AI-powered recruitment tools (e.g. ChatGPT/Claude) to improve sourcing, productivity, and candidate communication.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to guide hiring managers towards timely and well-informed hiring decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build rapport, engage candidates, and communicate clearly across fully remote teams.
• Meticulous attention to detail, ensuring accurate candidate records, clear communication, consistent follow-up, and a well-managed recruitment process.
• Fluent English (written and spoken), with strong conversational skills and active listening abilities.

Requirements

• Experience recruiting within the HR-tech, SaaS, or Employer of Record (EOR) sectors.
• Good knowledge of international labour market dynamics, compensation standards, and remote-first candidate preferences.
