Early Careers Recruiter (Barcelona)

Early Careers Recruiter 6 month contract About Us We’re an embedded talent consultancy on a mission to evolve how businesses recruit. Our clients include some of the most innovative organisations in the world — from Google-backed unicorns to Fintech and SaaS scale-ups reshaping their industries. Our team spans the UK, Germany, Spain, South Africa, and Vietnam. We’re remote-first, globally minded, and deeply collaborative. We believe hiring should be human-centred, data-informed, and impact-driven — creating better outcomes for companies and candidates alike. Why This Role Exists Our client, a multinational enterprise software company, is building its early careers function in Barcelona and is looking for someone to lead that on the ground. This is a genuinely strategic role: you'll be the early careers presence locally, setting up university partnerships and building a pipeline of graduate tech talent in one of Europe's leading tech hubs. It's an opportunity to shape early talent hiring in the region from the ground up. What You'll Do Build and own university and campus partnerships across Barcelona, establishing the early careers presence from a low base. Develop a strong pipeline of graduate talent, largely for technology and engineering roles. Run early careers recruitment end-to-end, from attraction through to offer and onboarding. Act as the local point of contact, working closely with universities, candidates and the business. Partner with the wider international recruitment team to keep hiring joined up. Early careers/graduate recruitment experience — essential, as you'll be operating independently on the ground. A relationship-builder who can set up university partnerships and pipeline proactively, ideally with a feel for the local university system. Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, evolving environment and happy to jump in. Technology or engineering hiring exposure is helpful; any global or international experience is a bonus. The details 6-month contract, with potential to go permanent. Hybrid working in Barcelona, including campus events.
