Talent Partner (EU/UK Based - Remote)

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: Take a portfolio of roles across engineering and GTM, plus European markets. Open the role, build the pipeline, run the process, and close the offer.
• Source directly: Run outbound on LinkedIn and beyond, work referrals properly, and leverage AI to build pipelines from zero for open roles.
• Own the screen: Run screening calls, compile clear written notes, and make definitive pass/fail calls before advancing candidates to hiring managers.
• Partner with hiring managers: Agree on the bar before reviewing CVs, calibrate in writing, drive timely feedback, and challenge requirements when needed.
• Keep agencies honest: Brief agency partners properly for your markets, hold them to our bar, and cut low-performing vendors.
• Run a tight, automated process: Manage scheduling, trial days, logistics, and candidate communications using Ashby and integrated AI tooling.
• Look after candidates: Ensure candidates receive timely and transparent communication throughout the process.

Who you are

• 3+ years in full-cycle recruiting, in-house at a startup/scale-up or at a tech-focused agency.
• Proven track record building candidate pipelines from scratch for hard-to-fill roles.
• Experience hiring software engineers, alongside comfort recruiting for commercial roles (AEs, partner managers, consultants).
• Experience hiring across European markets.
• Technically literate: capable of reading GitHub profiles, understanding tech stacks, and holding credible technical screening conversations.
• Strong discernment and high hiring standards.
• Highly organized with strong pipeline management hygiene.
• Clear, direct communicator with candidates and hiring teams.
• Experience using AI tools in day-to-day recruiting workflows.

Nice to have

• Fluency in German or another European language.
• Experience recruiting within AI or B2B SaaS domains.
• Hands-on experience building recruiting automations (e.g., Ashby automations, Zapier, AI agents).

What we offer

• Competitive salary
• Seed-stage company backed by Index Ventures ($15M seed), led by founder and CEO Tom Cupr
• Real ownership of your markets and direct influence on the talent function
• Remote-first working model across Europe, with quarterly offsites in Prague
