Senior Tech Recruiter

About us:

The physical and digital worlds are merging. Vehicles, medical devices, industrial systems, critical infrastructure: security hasn't kept pace. AI is accelerating everything, from the capabilities of the systems we depend on to the sophistication of the threats targeting them. A software vulnerability can now have physical consequences. A physical breach can compromise entire digital ecosystems. Billions of devices operate with little to no protection, and traditional approaches can't keep up. Not at this scale, not at this speed, and not across this diversity of systems.

Exein exists to solve this. We build the security layer for a world where physical and digital threats are no longer separate problems, from kernel-level runtime protection on embedded devices to cloud-native platforms that analyze, protect, and prove compliance across entire device fleets. We're not patching the old model. We're building security from the core out.

Job overview:

We are looking for a Senior Tech Recruiter with solid hands-on experience in tech environments, capable of owning and structuring the recruiting process end-to-end. The ideal candidate has worked within software houses, tech companies, or specialized executive search firms focused on technical profiles and brings not only operational excellence, but also a strategic approach to talent acquisition.

In this role, you will be responsible for redesigning and managing the full recruiting process, working closely with Tech Area Managers to define hiring needs, strategies, and budget planning, and reporting directly to the HR Manager. The role also includes a managerial component, which may involve coordinating junior team members or overseeing specific workstreams within the HR function.

What You Will Do:

• Own the full tech recruitment lifecycle independently: from intake meetings with hiring managers through to offer negotiation and onboarding support
• Restructure and optimize the existing recruiting process, defining interview frameworks, assessment methodologies, and scalable hiring best practices
• Lead direct sourcing activities via LinkedIn Recruiter, networking, referrals, market mapping, and proactive talent pipeline building
• Ensure an outstanding candidate experience at every stage of the hiring process
• Apply a data-driven approach to hiring decisions, with structured use of ATS and continuous monitoring of key metrics (time-to-hire, quality of hire, funnel conversion)
• Collaborate closely and continuously with Tech Area Managers to understand hiring needs, define role profiles, and co-build effective search strategies
• Support headcount planning and budget management related to hiring, in alignment with the HR Manager and leadership
• Report directly to the HR Manager, contributing to the definition of recruiting priorities and roadmap
• Contribute to employer branding initiatives, social recruiting, events, and partnerships to strengthen the attraction of tech profiles

Requirements:

• 6–8 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, preferably within software houses, tech companies, or IT-specialized recruiting/headhunting firms
• Proven track record recruiting technical and deep tech profiles (e.g. software engineers, backend/frontend, DevOps, cloud, data, AI/ML, cybersecurity, or similar domains)
• Strong ability to independently manage the full recruiting lifecycle end-to-end
• Experience structuring and optimizing selection processes and defining hiring best practices
• Data-driven mindset with hands-on experience using ATS platforms and recruiting analytics
• Leadership orientation and strong sense of ownership, with the ability to coordinate activities when required
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Fluent English required; additional languages are a plus

Nice to Have:

• Experience in international hiring environments or fast-growing scale-ups
• Good understanding of broader HR processes
• Familiarity with employer branding and social recruiting strategies

Why Join Us:

• Join a fast-growing international scale-up operating in a highly innovative and technology-driven environment
• Play a key role in shaping the company’s growth by attracting and hiring top talent across strategic functions
• Work closely with leadership and have a direct impact on organizational scaling and culture building
• Be part of a dynamic, ambitious, and collaborative team with strong global exposure
• Help design and improve recruiting processes, employer branding initiatives, and talent strategies from the ground up
• Enjoy a high level of ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to drive meaningful change
