Talent Partner

Carbon is an operational transformation partner. We work with scaling companies and global organizations to build, operate, and transfer nearshore engineering hubs, and to embed specialist AI teams that redesign how operations run. Our work is embedded, outcome-driven, and structured to create durable value for the clients we serve.

Within that model, our recruitment function is not a support role. It is a delivery function. We source, assess, and place exceptional technical talent in complex, fast-moving client engagements, and we do it at a standard most recruiters have not operated at before.

Why Carbon?

A carbon atom hidden underground for a long time can turn into a beautiful and precious gem when found and polished. That’s our mission at Carbon: connecting global organizations with world-class tech talent in emerging markets.

The Role

Our recruitment team is at the heart of everything we do - and we do it exceptionally well. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Talent Partner to join our team as we expand across European markets and client engagements. This is a mid-to-senior individual contributor role for an experienced recruiter. You will own the full recruitment lifecycle across multiple active client briefs, act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, and operate with a high level of autonomy.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle across multiple concurrent briefs: sourcing, screening, assessment, stakeholder management, and offer close.
• Act as a consultant to client hiring managers: advising on market conditions, talent availability, compensation benchmarks, and candidate positioning.
• Identify, engage, and close high-quality passive candidates through strategic multi-channel sourcing, including direct outreach, AI-assisted sourcing, and talent mapping.
• Negotiate with confidence on both sides of the process, representing candidate profiles compellingly to clients and managing expectations throughout.
• Build and maintain automation workflows that improve recruitment efficiency, reduce manual effort, and increase sourcing output.
• Stay current on tech market trends, engineering talent pools, and in-demand skill sets across European markets to advise clients with accuracy and credibility.
• Craft targeted, high-quality outreach and content that resonates with technical professionals.
• Assess candidates by understanding their motivations, career aspirations, and technical skills to ensure they are the perfect fit for your projects (our motto is quality over quantity).
• Stay informed on global and local tech market trends, continuously researching industry developments in technology recruitment.
• Learn and stay up-to-date with the latest software engineering tech stacks to better communicate project requirements.
• Use your copywriting and creativity skills to craft engaging outreach messages, LinkedIn posts, job ads, and social media content—there’s no limit to how you can connect with talent!

Who You Are

• You have a minimum of 5 years of experience in tech recruitment, with a consistent track record of closing senior and specialist roles across software and AI engineering, machine learning, product, data science, or design.
• You have a background in agency recruitment, working across multiple client accounts simultaneously, is strongly preferred. In-house experience is valued but not sufficient on its own.
• You are experienced in building or implementing workflow automation within a recruitment context, whether through ATS configuration, sourcing tools, or integrated outreach sequences.
• You are skilled at advising clients and hiring managers directly: translating market data into clear recommendations and advocating confidently for candidate profiles.
• You are a strong negotiator with the interpersonal range to manage competing interests without losing credibility with either party.
• You are self-directed and operationally independent. You manage your own pipeline, your own time, and your own quality bar without needing oversight on the basics.
• You are motivated by targets and KPIs, and you thrive in a goal-driven environment.
• You have fluency in English to a professional level, written and spoken. Additional European languages are an advantage.
• You are comfortable in a fully remote, fast-moving environment where priorities shift and judgment matters more than process compliance.
• You have the ability to operate as an independent contractor. Candidates must have a legal entity established, as this role is structured as a B2B collaboration.

What We Offer

• Integration into a high-performance team with deep expertise across technical markets in Europe and beyond.
• Access to AI-assisted sourcing and workflow tools, and a market-leading recruitment CRM.
• Fully remote role, with flexibility on location.
• A generous leave policy.
• Competitive compensation, including base rate and commission:
• Base: 2,000 to 2,500 EUR per month
• Uncapped commission for meeting minimum KPI targets

If you’re ready to take your talent acquisition career to the next level and be part of a company that truly values innovation, autonomy, and results, we’d love to hear from you!
