Your role at Kittl

As our Talent Acquisition Partner, you will own end-to-end recruitment across business and tech - from the first sourcing touch to offer and close.

We are looking for a junior to mid-level TA Partner based in Berlin (hybrid) who sources proactively, thinks strategically about pipelines, and genuinely believes that putting the right person in the right opportunity changes everything. You will be the single owner of TA at Kittl, partnering directly with hiring managers across the company.

Beyond recruiting, you’ll have real room to shape how Kittl shows up externally - through employer branding, community, and how we build culture as we grow.

• Leverage AI and automation: Implement and experiment with AI-driven sourcing, candidate engagement tools, and process automations to make hiring faster and smarter

• Shape employer branding and community: Help tell Kittl’s
  story externally, support events, and build a culture people want to be part of

What you’ll need

• Experience: At least 2 years in Talent Acquisition, ideally with both business and tech roles in your portfolio

• Sourcing mindset: You don't wait for applications - you go find people, and you're good at it

• Ownership and high drive: You take accountability for outcomes, operate independently, and proactively push work forward without being asked

• Stakeholder partnership: You communicate well, manage expectations, and build trust with demanding hiring managers

• Adaptability: You thrive in fast-moving environments; startup or scale-up experience is a plus, especially if you were the only recruiter or close to it

• Tech curiosity: You’re excited to explore AI, automations, and other tools to innovate hiring processes
