Job Description

Recruiting & HR Operations Manager

Lovebetter is growing.
And with every new person on the team, the strength of that growth is decided.

Every day, we support men in opening up, developing inner strength, and transforming their sexuality from the inside out. Our work impacts not only individual men but also relationships, families, and social interaction.

To continue scaling this mission, we need the right people on the team.
And that's exactly where you come in.

Up until now, a large part of our recruiting has been handled directly by management: first, second & third interviews, applicant communication, pipeline management, scheduling, and operational HR steps up to hiring.

Now is the moment when we say:
Recruiting needs more focus, more structure, and someone who truly takes over this area operationally.

Why Lovebetter Needs This Role

Because we are looking for someone who doesn't just manage recruiting, but actively drives it forward.

Someone who:

• Professionally guides candidates through the process
• Conducts high-quality interviews and can assess people quickly
• Follows up when answers remain superficial – and thus finds out what really matters
• Keeps our pipeline clean and brings momentum to the funnel
• Prepares clear decisions instead of letting processes lag
• And strongly represents Lovebetter externally in the first contact

You are not the person who makes the final hiring decision alone. But you are the person who ensures that we as management only proceed to the final phase with a few selected candidates.

Your Impact – What You Will Truly Change With Us

As the Recruiting & HR Operations Manager, you will ensure that we can conduct more good job interviews in less time.

You will directly influence:

• How quickly open positions are filled
• How professionally applicants experience Lovebetter
• How cleanly our recruiting funnel runs
• How well candidates are pre-qualified
• And how strongly we can grow as a team

If you do your job well, management will experience tangible relief. Recruiting will become faster, clearer, and more reliable. And Lovebetter can bring in the people we need for the next phase of growth.

Your Responsibilities

• You will take operational responsibility for our recruiting process.
• You will conduct first and second interviews based on clear interview guides, assess applicants both professionally and personally, and decide who moves to the next phase.
• You will keep our ATS clean, manage applications, send rejections, set follow-ups, and ensure that no candidate gets lost in the process.
• When we move to the final phase, you will continue to support the process: you will coordinate third interviews, assist with the organizational preparation of assessments, gather contacts for reference calls if necessary, and ensure that everything runs smoothly after a decision is made.
• After the offer, you will also keep the HR side moving: you will coordinate employment contracts and contract adjustments, support onboarding and offboarding, and ensure that new team members are ready to start from day 1 – including technology and work laptop.
• If needed, you will also use active sourcing to specifically approach suitable candidates.

In short:
You will hold recruiting operationally together.

What Makes Lovebetter Special

• A clear mission with real social relevance
• A topic that many men don't talk about – but that deeply influences their self-esteem, their relationships, and their lives
• A growing company with a lot of scope for development
• A culture that combines clarity, performance, humanity, and development
• An environment where good work has a direct impact on growth and effectiveness

What You Can Achieve With Us

• A role where you don't just support recruiting, but truly take ownership of it
• A lot of responsibility and real trust: your assessment decides who makes it to the final round
• Proximity to management and insight into real team decisions
• A field of responsibility that can grow with the company
• The opportunity to potentially take on more responsibility in HR, Recruiting, or People Operations in the future
• You are not just here to coordinate appointments. You are the person who keeps applicant processes moving, conducts interviews, and assesses candidates

Sounds Like You?

Then we look forward to getting to know you.

Don't send us a standard application. Instead, tell us:

• What experience you have already gained in interviewing or applicant conversations
• How you assess people and prepare decisions
• Why you are eager to take on recruiting operationally at Lovebetter
• And why you believe you can excel in this area

Job Requirements

Who We Are Looking For – Your Profile

Technical Skills

• Several years of experience in interviewing and applicant selection – you have conducted many interviews and assessed people reliably
• Experience with an ATS or a comparable applicant/pipeline system
• A good feel for applicant communication, interviewing, and process management
• Very good German language skills – written and spoken
• Basic understanding of recruiting processes from application to hiring
• Experience with active sourcing is a plus, but not a must

You Are a Good Fit For This Position If You:

• Can assess people very well and reliably recognize red flags
• Communicate professionally, clearly, and respectfully
• Work in a structured manner and keep processes clean
• Have drive and actively move things forward
• Are friendly and communicate at eye level in conversations, but do not shy away from important points
• Are reliable and do not let applicant processes lag

We are looking for someone who conducts interviews strongly, can read people well, and is eager to truly take over the recruiting process operationally. Experience and judgment are more important to us than the lowest salary – we prefer to pay more for someone we can truly trust with the process.
