About the Opportunity

Emerald Zebra is recruiting on behalf of our client, a successful and fast-growing European technology company operating at the forefront of AI and advanced engineering.

Based in Limassol, with strong investment backing and international growth plans, the company is looking for an experienced Technical Recruiter to take ownership of technical hiring across highly specialised roles.

Led by experienced founders and supported by a talented international team, the company has established a solid foundation and is preparing for its next stage of growth, with plans to expand to approximately 100 employees over the next 12 months.

The technical positions are highly specialised, often requiring rare combinations of skills, experience and technical knowledge. Successful recruitment requires thorough market research, creative sourcing approaches and the ability to identify professionals who are particularly difficult to find.

The role offers close collaboration with founders and engineering leadership, as well as significant ownership of technical recruitment across international markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for specialised technical and engineering positions, from initial sourcing through to successful hiring.
• Develop targeted sourcing strategies to identify highly skilled professionals in competitive and niche technical markets.
• Conduct extensive talent mapping, research and proactive headhunting across international markets.
• Identify and engage passive candidates who may not be actively considering new opportunities.
• Work closely with founders, hiring managers and engineering leaders to understand complex technical requirements and translate them into effective search strategies.
• Build and maintain long-term talent pipelines and professional networks.
• Manage candidate communication, interviews, assessments and offer negotiations, ensuring a positive candidate experience.
• Work with recruitment tools, including LinkedIn Recruiter, the ATS and AI-powered sourcing solutions.
• Explore new technologies, research methods and sourcing approaches to improve recruitment effectiveness.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of recruitment processes and reporting practices as the company grows.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in technical recruitment, ideally within technology companies, startups or fast-growing engineering environments.
• Proven experience recruiting highly specialised technical talent, including complex hardware and engineering profiles.
• Strong direct sourcing and headhunting skills, with a track record of successfully filling difficult, niche technical vacancies.
• Advanced research and talent mapping capabilities, with the curiosity and persistence to identify candidates in challenging markets.
• Practical experience using AI-powered recruitment and sourcing tools.
• Confidence working directly with senior technical stakeholders, founders and engineering leadership.
• Experience with international recruitment and engaging candidates across different markets.
• Strong knowledge of LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems and modern recruitment practices.
• Excellent English communication skills; German is an advantage.
• A proactive, resourceful and independent approach to recruitment.

What Our Client Offers

• An opportunity to join the recruitment function of an ambitious, well-funded European technology company.
• Direct collaboration with experienced founders and a highly skilled international team.
• Exposure to complex technical recruitment projects and opportunities to work with specialists in emerging technologies.
• A high level of ownership and autonomy in managing recruitment projects.
• Strong financial backing and clear growth plans, with the team expected to reach approximately 100 employees over the next year.
• An international working environment in Limassol.
• Relocation to Cyprus and visa support for eligible international candidates.
• Professional development opportunities as the company continues to expand.
