Company mission
To redefine the social gaming landscape.
Role
Who you are
- Location: Prefer in-person (Berlin). But if you’re truly exceptional, remote is possible
- A-Players Only: We hire top-tier, period. We’d rather have one killer recruiter at an above-market salary than a whole room of average. You know how to spot, win, and close the best engineering talent in the world
- Languages:
- English: Absolute must — fluent, sharp, persuasive
- Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Chinese: Big plus
- Drive: You’re wired to win. Recruiting isn’t a “job” — it’s your craft, your mission. You’re ready to put in 50+ hour weeks, chase top talent across time zones, and live and breathe our vision
- Grind: Midnight texts? Early-morning calls? Weekend outreach? Yes. You do what it takes to close the hire
- Urgency: Turn weeks into days, days into hours. Smash through roadblocks. Respond instantly, not eventually
- Relentless: Follow up 10x a day if needed. Triple-text, double-call, push hard. Ghosting? Not on your watch
What the job involves
- Volume & Numbers Game: Recruiting is a high-volume sport. You fill the pipeline every single day — hundreds of leads, constant outreach, no dry days
- Source Relentlessly: You’re on LinkedIn, GitHub, niche platforms, referrals — anywhere top talent hides. You know how to find people, chase them, and win their attention
- Chase & Close: You follow up like a machine — triple-text, call, DM, repeat. You handle objections, push through silence, and keep closing
- Culture Fit Focus: You don’t just look at resumes — you screen hard for culture. We don’t compromise. Only people who match our values, pace, and ambition make it in
- Professionalism at the Core: You represent us with sharp, clear, polished communication. Candidates walk away impressed, even if we say no
- High Urgency: Move lightning fast. Smash timelines. Deliver results today, not next week
- Mission-Driven Mindset: You’re here because “Becoming the leading company for virtual characters” excites you deeply. This is more than just a recruiting job — you want to help shape the future
