[Hiring] Talent Search Specialist / Headhunter @Animore

Role Description

We’re building the future of embodied AI: robots that learn, adapt and work alongside people in the real world. Doing that takes some of the rarest talent there is: robotics engineers, ML engineers, data platform specialists, and the technical leaders who build and guide those teams.

You’ll be our dedicated internal headhunter. You will map the market, find the people others miss, and get them excited enough to take the first conversation.

This position can be based in Munich (onsite) or Poland/UK (remote).

Your Responsibilities

• Lead searches for senior technical, leadership and other tough-to-fill roles
• Map the talent landscape: which companies, labs and research groups have the people we need, and who’s worth approaching
• Find candidates beyond LinkedIn, through GitHub, research papers, conference speakers, open-source communities and personal networks
• Run first conversations with candidates to qualify interest and fit
• Work closely with hiring managers and founders to understand what “great” looks like for each role
• Share market insights with the team: compensation trends, talent availability, and where the competition is hiring

Qualifications

• 4+ years in headhunting or executive search at an agency or search firm
• A proven track record of placing senior technical & hard-to-find profiles
• Enough technical understanding to have a credible conversation with a robotics or ML engineer and tell a strong profile from a good-looking CV
• Experience sourcing internationally, across markets and time zones
• Creative, persistent sourcing skills: Boolean search, X-ray search, and using sources well beyond the usual platforms
• Strong written and spoken English
• An existing network in the European or US robotics and AI communities would be a definite plus!

Recruiting Process

Your recruiting partner for this role is Madhulika (she/her). You can expect a screening interview, and two additional interviews, including potentially an onsite visit to our office in Munich to meet the team.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package
• A role with real impact. Every hire you bring in shapes what we build next.
• Work with a world-class team in a flat hierarchy, with direct collaboration alongside the founders and engineering team
• Fast growth potential in a rapidly evolving company and industry
• International office environment with English as the official working language
• We hire across backgrounds, identities, and experiences, and we are committed to a workplace where everyone belongs. Discrimination has no place here.
