Role
Who you are
- You’re a sourcer who loves the hunt. You know how to find engineers others overlook, and you’re confident turning a cold profile into a warm conversation. You’ll likely bring:
- Proven experience sourcing and screening engineers, using LinkedIn, Boolean, X-ray and other creative tactics with ease
- A strong ability to quickly understand who is a real match and who is not. You keep the hiring funnel tight by filtering effectively, even when speaking to many candidates
- A genuine affinity for tech. You understand the basics of languages, frameworks and architecture, and you can quickly grasp what a team needs
- The ability to partner well with recruiters and hiring managers, building trust and aligning quickly on what good looks like
- Comfort using AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini for talent mapping, research and sourcing efficiency
- If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
What the job involves
- At Catawiki, our Talent Acquisition team plays a key role in building the tech organisation that powers our marketplace. As our Tech Sourcer, you’ll focus on finding and connecting with great engineering talent in Lisbon, Amsterdam and across the world, including candidates open to relocation
- Your core responsibility is sourcing and screening. You’ll identify strong profiles, reach out in thoughtful ways and quickly assess whether they’re a match for our teams. You’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring managers to understand what’s needed, build solid pipelines and keep the process moving smoothly
- As our tech team continues to grow, you’ll be an important partner in helping us hire the engineers who will shape the next chapters of our product

Our take
In the past, it was only possible to purchase special items such as rare coins, antiques, and vintage cars at auctions held at physical locations. These days, many people prefer online auctions, but whilst they provide a wider range of objects for sale, this comes at the cost of proper pricing and quality control. Catawiki provides an expert-regulated online auctioning marketplace where users can browse and bid for special objects easily via the web or mobile app.
The objects listed on Catawiki are curated, valued, and verified by in-house experts, with over 100,000 objects passing through the marketplace every week. In this approach, the company has combined the community knowledge found at traditional auctions with the benefits of digital auctioning platforms, occupying a space that has long remained empty, and avoiding competition from bidding marketplace giants such as eBay.
Catawiki has received good funding in the past, which contributed to it becoming the success it is today. A recent venture has seen the company expand to serve artisanal artists with its handmade products auction series.
