About this role
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.

What will you do:
Own end-to-end recruitment for multiple portfolio companies (tech & non-tech roles);
Partner with founders and hiring managers to define hiring strategy, role requirements, and positioning;
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
Data-driven mindset with strong communication and stakeholder management skills
English Upper-Intermediate or higher
What we offer:
