About the role
Duvo helps large enterprises map, optimise and execute the long-running, messy operational work that runs across their systems: ERPs, portals, email, spreadsheets, calls.
We sell into Heads of Operations, Supply Chain, Finance and IT at large retailers and FMCG brands.
New deals land at €100k–€250k ARR and grow materially through expansion.
We're about to grow fast across engineering and go-to-market, and into new European markets, without lowering the bar.
Agencies alone can't get us there.
We're hiring a Talent Partner who goes out and finds the people themselves, owns a set of roles and EU markets end to end, and works with our hiring managers as a partner, not a scheduling desk.
You'll report to Marko, who leads talent at Duvo, and work directly with our founders and hiring managers.
What you'll do
- Own your roles and markets. You'll take a portfolio of roles across engineering and GTM, plus the European markets we're pushing hardest into.
- Open the role, build the pipeline, run the process, close the offer.
- You're accountable for the hire landing, not for the funnel looking busy.
- Source directly. Most of the people we want will never apply.
- You'll run outbound on LinkedIn and beyond, work referrals properly, and use AI to find candidates nobody else is talking to.
- When a role opens, you've got people on the phone that week.
- Own the screen. Every candidate who reaches a hiring manager has been through you first.
- Strong screening calls, clear written notes, an honest pass or fail.
- You'd rather reject a maybe than waste a loop.
- Partner with hiring managers. Agree the bar before the first CV, calibrate in writing, chase feedback until it lands, and push back when a process or a requirement doesn't make sense.
- Keep the agencies honest. For your markets, brief agency partners properly, hold them to our bar, and cut the ones that send noise.
- Run a tight, automated process. Scheduling, trial days, logistics, candidate comms.
- Nothing falls through the cracks, and anything you do twice gets automated.
- We build AI agents for a living and we run hiring the same way: Ashby underneath, AI across screening, research and interview prep, and agents handling scheduling and chasing.
- You'll use that system every day and help build the next parts of it.
- Look after candidates. Everyone who talks to us knows where they stand, quickly, whether it's a yes or a no.
Who you are
- 3+ years in recruiting, in-house at a startup or scale-up or at a tech-focused agency, with full-cycle ownership.
- A real sourcer. You can show us pipelines you built from zero for hard roles, not just inbound you processed.
- Experience hiring engineers, plus comfort with commercial roles like AEs, partner managers or consultants.
- Experience hiring across European markets.
- Technically literate. You can read a GitHub profile, understand a stack and hold a credible first conversation with an engineer.
- You don't need to code, but you can't be bluffing in that call.
- A bar-raiser. You'll make the pass or fail call and stand behind it.
- Organised to a fault. A clean pipeline and an empty to-do list matter to you.
- You say it straight, to candidates, to hiring managers and to us.
- You already use AI tools in your day-to-day work and want to push that further.
- Nice to have
- German or another European language.
- Hiring in AI or B2B SaaS.
- You've built recruiting automations yourself (Ashby automations, Zapier, agents, anything).
What we offer
- Competitive salary
- Seed-stage company backed by Index Ventures ($15M seed), led by our founder and CEO Tom Cupr, who previously founded one of Europe's largest online grocery retailers.
- Real ownership of your markets, and a say in how the talent function is built.
- Remote-first across Europe, with quarterly offsites in Prague.
How we hire
- 30-min screen
- Working session: we give you a live Duvo role. You come back with the people you'd approach, the message you'd send, and your pass or fail calls on a set of real CVs, then walk us through it
- Final conversations with our founders
- We aim to close the loop in under 3 weeks.
- We're a small team building something hard. If that sounds like the right kind of problem, we'd like to talk.
