Your Opportunity:

Dedale is entering a new chapter of growth, and talent is how we get there.

We're looking for a sharp, driven Talent Acquisition Specialist to join Tra (Head of HR - direct manager) and Iryna and Claudia (Talent Acquisition Specialists). Together, you'll own how Dedale hires, with a shared target of ~70 people across all departments in Paris in 2026. This isn't a coordination role. We need someone who hunts, who challenges, who builds, and who genuinely cares about the candidate experience from first touch to onboarding.

Your Responsibility:

Global Talent Acquisition (80%)

• Run the full recruitment cycle autonomously: from manager briefing to offer, across all seniority levels and business areas (e.g. Research & Investment team, sales, Customer Success, Tech, etc…)

• Source proactively and creatively in a competitive talent market: multi-channel outreach, targeted headhunting, and building long-term talent pipelines.

• Be a true partner to Hiring Managers: brief them, challenge their assumptions, train them, and keep them also accountable for a great candidate experience.

• Define and deploy the recruitment practices that actually make a difference (process design, scorecards, structured interviews, and tooling)

• Own and grow Dedale's employer brand: Welcome to the Jungle, LinkedIn, events, content. Make people want to work here !

• Master Ashby, our ATS, and Welcome to the Jungle, to keep the pipeline clean, the data reliable, and the process scalable.

Strategic projects (20%)

• Contribute the execution of strategic HR projects on a global scale, including but not limited to: Global Onboarding, Global Talent Management, Training and Development, Engagement Surveys, and Global Retention initiatives

Your Qualifications:

This job is made for you if:

• You have 3-4 years of recruitment experience, in-house or in a search firm (or you've seen both sides of the table)

• You are comfortable in startup/scale-up or finance-adjacent environments (fast pace, shifting priorities, high expectations)

• You are a genuine headhunter: outbound is your default. You know how to find people who aren't looking.

• You have managed 30+ requisitions per year, independently, across diverse profiles.

• As confident convincing a passive candidate as you are pushing back on an unrealistic hiring brief.

• You are reliable by default: candidates always get a response, managers always get an update, the pipeline is always clean.

• You have experience with Ashby or a comparable ATS.

• You are fluent in English (written and spoken)

What’s in it for you ?

• High autonomy and direct impact from day one

• A collaborative, intellectually stimulating and international environment (23 nationalities in our Paris office)

• A clear career path developed together with you

• Flexible working arrangements

• Package range : €45k - €50k
