Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

Flyer One Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm investing in ambitious European startups. In six years, we’ve invested in 87 companies and deployed nearly $43M, helping founders scale from idea to global markets. Check out our portfolio companies. 

We invest in software-first companies and partner with founders beyond capital — supporting growth, recruitment, PR, business development, and investor relations.
Our recruitment function is one of our key differentiators — and we are scaling it further. 

We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to lead hiring across our portfolio companies and act as a strategic recruitment partner for founders and hiring managers.

Build proactive pipelines using advanced sourcing strategies, LinkedIn, outbound, and talent mapping;

Conduct in-depth interviews and assess candidates on skills, culture fit, and growth potential;

Drive offer preparation and compensation negotiation with candidates and stakeholders;

Provide data-driven hiring analytics (funnels, time-to-fill, sourcing effectiveness, market insights);

Continuously improve recruitment processes, templates, and best practices across the portfolio.

About you:

3+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition / Recruitment (product companies, startups, or agencies)

Proven track record of closing complex roles (tech or business) and working with multiple stakeholders

Strong sourcing expertise and ability to build long-term pipelines

Experience in hiring non-tech roles (Marketing, Sales, CS, Operations) is a plus
