Not Your Typical Workplace…
Tired of the 9-to-5 grind? Imagine a world without borders, where opportunities are endless. That’s the future of work, and it’s exactly what we’re building at WorkMotion!
Our remote-first team spans the globe, helping companies hire, onboard, and manage international talent through smart, flexible workforce solutions. Fast-paced, people-driven, and globally connected—we empower businesses to build teams without borders, and we have a blast doing it.
More Than a Role
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 hunting down world-class talent, building genuine connections, and scaling remote teams while keeping a sharp, analytical focus on how hiring quality drives real business velocity.
This isn’t a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane. You’ll be right at the center of the action—owning full-cycle recruitment across both high-volume Technical and strategic Business hires—ensuring every candidate experience is candidate-centric, data-driven, and unforgettably positive.
You won’t be a solo operator. You’ll collaborate closely with Hiring Managers, People Operations, and Department Leads across EMEA, bringing teams together to guarantee consistency, momentum, and exceptional hiring quality across the board.
Where Responsibility Meets Real Opportunity…
- Drive Full-Cycle Recruiting: Own end-to-end recruitment across EMEA for diverse technical (Engineering, Product) and business roles (Sales, Ops, Marketing).
- Bridge Talent Acquisition & Onboarding Operations: Support with the design and execution of a frictionless pre-boarding and onboarding, turning new hires into engaged, productive team members.
- Source Passive Superstars: Leverage creative sourcing strategies, AI search tools, and direct outreach to discover top-tier, diverse talent across EMEA markets.
- Elevate Candidate Experience: Deliver a fast, transparent, and memorable interview process that makes candidates fall in love with WorkMotion.
- Partner with Leadership: Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, guiding them on salary benchmarks, market trends, and talent pipelines.
- Optimize Talent Acquisition Operations: Utilize data to track conversion metrics, shorten time-to-hire, and continuously refine our hiring practices.
- Champion Diversity & Inclusion: Ensure inclusive hiring frameworks and fair evaluation standards throughout every stage of the funnel.
What It Takes to Make an Impact Here…
- 3+ years of experience as a Talent Acquisition Specialist covering both Technical and Business roles within EMEA.
- Exceptional organization, prioritization, and time-management skills, with a high sense of urgency to balance multiple high-priority requisitions simultaneously without missing a beat.
- Solid practical understanding of Workable ATS and seamless collaboration across Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Drive).
- Proficiency in AI-powered recruitment tools (e.g., ChatGPT/Claude) to optimize productivity and candidate outreach.
- High stakeholder management and influence competencies, with a track record of coaching hiring managers toward swift, smart decisions.
- Top-tier communication skills—both written and verbal—with the ability to craft compelling candidate outreach, build rapid rapport, and articulate complex information with clarity across fully remote teams.
- Meticulous attention to detail, ensuring error-free candidate communication, through follow-up with candidates and key stakeholders, accurate contract generations and seamless compliance across all stages of hiring and onboarding.
- Fluent English (written and spoken) with outstanding conversational agility and active listening skills.
Bonus Points If You Bring…
- Experience recruiting within the HR-tech, SaaS, or Employer of Record (EOR) sectors.
- Proven knowledge of EMEA labor market dynamics, compensation standards, and remote-first candidate preferences.
- Hands-on experience designing employer branding campaigns or hosting virtual recruitment events.
