Job Description
THE SHORT VERSION You're our first dedicated GTM and marketing recruiter and you own how Viktor hires across sales marketing and creative as the company doubles.
We're ~50 people heading toward 100 and you run the full funnel that gets us there: source pitch screen and drive candidates to offer across every go-to-market role from a video editor in Warsaw to a sales lead in New York.
You move fast you use AI to do the work of a team and you treat every candidate with empathy.
THE HARD PART Hiring is the bottleneck. 28 open roles across Warsaw Munich Dublin and New York one recruiter already full on engineering and a GTM and marketing side with no dedicated owner.
Your first month is taking it over outright: one intake bar per role no duplicate candidates and hiring managers who hear from you before they have to ask.
Then you make it repeatable.
You hold a rising bar while headcount doubles you win people in the hottest market in tech and the candidate experience gets better as it scales.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO - Own the funnel for every open go-to-market role: Sales Marketing Creative.
When an Ops or admin req needs a hand you pick it up.
Source screen schedule keep candidates moving and hand the hiring manager the ones worth a deeper round and the close. - Know your funnel.
Talent Ops owns the tooling agency contracts and reporting; you own the numbers on your roles: conversion by stage time-to-offer where candidates stall and what you changed because of it. - Use AI the way we do: automate sourcing drafting and ops so you operate like a team of five.
THE BAR The standard is talent density: every hire makes the team stronger than its average and you'd hold a req open before lowering the line.
You're measured on quality of hire time-to-offer and whether the company's bar rose because you were here.
And every candidate hired or not should walk away calling it the best process they've been through.
WHO YOU ARE - You're the first Viktorian most candidates meet.
You pitch the company better than most founders in fluent English on camera or in the room and you read a candidate from their first answer. - You've owned roles end to end in-house and closed candidates who had other offers.
Years matter less than that track record. - You've hired go-to-market talent (sales marketing creative) and you know where each lives and what closes it. - Comfortable running structured first calls across Sales Marketing and Creative roles: you know what signal to look for follow the rubric and leave functional depth to the hiring manager. - AI-native.
You already use agents and LLMs to source draft and automate.
At Viktor that's the job not a bonus. - You write outreach a human actually wants to answer.
No AI slop no template spam.
EVEN BETTER IF - You've been the first recruiter at a startup and built the function from scratch. - You've hired in a market where the best people had three other offers. - You've hired in both the US and Europe. - You know Ashby or pick new tools up fast.
You'll own this building on the foundations already in place and backed by founders and hiring managers who lean in on the hires that matter.
We'll invest in you to grow into it and as we scale a team grows under you.
Few people tick every box here.
If you've raised a talent bar somewhere before and want to do it at the scale this needs apply.
HOW WE WORK Small team high trust low process.
Decisions are made by owners not committees.
You will ship your first week.
You will talk to users your first day.
We don't do alignment meetings or stakeholder syncs.
We build things see if they work and iterate.
