Company mission
To support exceptional founders in building market leading digital companies.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience leading TA teams
- Background in building or scaling in-house TA organisations
- Strong knowledge of ATS systems, sourcing strategies, and modern TA tooling (incl. AI)
- Experience working closely with senior stakeholders
- Comfortable operating with high ownership and limited day-to-day guidance
- Hands-on, pragmatic, and quality-driven
- Willing and able to work onsite in Berlin
- English speaking
What the job involves
- We are collecting profiles on behalf of a late-stage, well-established company based in Berlin that is looking to strengthen and future-proof its Talent Acquisition function
- This is a lead collection process, not an immediate hire. Applications will be reviewed over the next 1–2 weeks, after which selected candidates will be contacted with further details about the company and role
- The company is at a stable stage of maturity with ongoing hiring needs driven mainly by backfills and moderate growth (no hypergrowth). The focus of this role is to build a scalable, high-quality TA setup that can support the business long term
- You will lead and shape the TA function with a strong emphasis on structure, quality, and enablement, rather than pure volume delivery
- Lead a medium-sized TA team
- Own the strategic direction of Talent Acquisition
- Implement and roll out a new ATS
- Build scalable TA fundamentals (processes, governance, quality standards)
- Introduce and run bar-raiser and interview quality frameworks
- Train and enable hiring managers in structured, high-quality interviewing
- Shift the organisation from reactive inbound hiring to proactive sourcing-led recruiting
- Personally manage selected executive and key hires
Application process
- This role is part of a confidential portfolio search
- We will:
- Collect and review applications over 1–2 weeks
- Shortlist relevant profiles
- Share additional context and next steps with selected candidates
- Due to the confidential nature, company details will be shared at a later stage
Our take
Getting a new business off the ground can be difficult. An innovative idea is not enough, and oftentimes founders struggle to secure the investment they need to grow. HV capital supports exciting companies from the seed stage and onwards throughout their growth, with a speciality in finding and funding future leaders.
HV Capital, an all-stage investor in the German market, leads seed rounds, growth stage investments up to €20m, and follow-on investments up to €100m per company, supporting its partners for ten years or longer. The company has also created a continuation fund, the first of its kind in Germany, which will enable them to invest longer-term and maintain relationships with its more mature companies, yielding larger returns in the future.
Since founding in 2000, HV Capital has backed roughly 225 businesses, including notable names such as Zalando and HelloFresh. With a list of successes at its back, the company is well-positioned to continue supporting exciting startups into the future.
