Talent Acquisition Manager

Your Mission:

At VÆRIDION, we're building the Microliner, a fully electric aircraft, and the battery technology that powers it. To make that happen, we need great people, and as our Talent Acquisition Manager (all genders), you'll play a key role in bringing them on board.

As part of our People & Culture team, you'll own recruiting end to end for your positions and advise our hiring managers as a true partner. You'll make sure every candidate gets a process that is fast, honest, and personal. You'll also keep improving how we find and hire talent. Our goal is to ensure that every candidate leaves the process with a positive impression of VÆRIDION, regardless of the outcome.

Your Day-to-Day:

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for technical and non-technical roles, from screening to offer and closing.

• Understand your hiring managers' requirements and advise them on recruiting, including relevant market insights, realistic timelines, and candidate availability.

• Design and run sourcing strategies, including direct outreach, talent mapping, and networks, to reach passive candidates in competitive markets.

• Lead complex and cross-functional hiring processes, and influence hiring decisions with structured interviews and data-driven recommendations.

• Negotiate offers and close candidates.

• Maintain our ATS Ashby and keep data and reporting clean and reliable.

• Improve our recruiting processes, candidate experience, and employer branding.

Your Profile:

• You have a background in HR, business, psychology, or a related field.

• You have 3+ years of recruiting experience from first conversation to signed contract, ideally in a scaling company or a technical industry.

• You can run a hiring process on your own, from screening to hire, and you are confident challenging hiring managers to drive better hiring decisions.

• You find people who aren't looking. You know how to approach engineers and specialists directly and get a reply.

• You communicate clearly in English, in writing and in conversation, and you keep candidates and stakeholders informed without being asked.

• You stay organised across many open roles at once and never lose track of a candidate.

• You work well with data and modern recruiting tools. Experience with Ashby is a plus.

• Fluent in English is required, German is a Plus.

• You enjoy working in an office-first culture at our Munich site.
