Senior People & Recruiting Manager (m/f/d)

Have you ever hired someone and known: This one decision will change the entire company?

Have you ever experienced how a single wrong hire can set a small team back by months?

And have you ever wished not to just work through the 30th role of the year, but to truly shape where a company is growing with every hire?

At FINE DINE, every hire is exactly that: a lever. We are currently 11 people and are growing to 15 to 20. By 2030, we want to bring the FINE DINE box to more than 100 cities in Europe. Every person you bring on board will help decide whether we succeed. You will choose who embarks on this journey with us.

What truly defines us: For years, the three of us founders have thought about little else but FINE DINE. For us, results matter, not how many hours someone sits in the office or how beautiful a presentation looks. Decisions are made quickly, paths are short, and you work directly with us founders. You won't just carry out People & Culture here within an existing system. You will build it.

Are you on board?

Tasks

• Recruiting Ownership: You will be responsible for recruiting approximately 5 roles per year, both strategically and operationally. From clarifying needs with us founders, to job postings, structured interviews, and making offers.
• Active Sourcing: You will find key hires through direct outreach via LinkedIn and your network, in the Ulm region and beyond.
• Recruiting System: You will build the foundation for fast and sustainable recruitment: pipeline, scorecards, interview guides, and KPIs such as Time-to-Hire, Response Rate, and Conversion.
• Sparring Partner for the Founders: You will advise your Hiring Managers at eye level and with data.
• Employer Branding & Content: You will make FINE DINE visible as an employer. You will build our LinkedIn presence from scratch, post regularly about the team, culture, and our daily work, involve the team, and write job descriptions that show who we truly are.
• Onboarding & Contact Person: You will be the point of contact for our team and ensure that new colleagues settle in quickly and are productive from day 1.
• People Operations: You will coordinate with our tax office and payroll department and be the first point of contact for all HR-related topics within the team.

Qualifications

• Recruiting Experience: You have experience in recruiting, ideally in-house at a start-up or scale-up working closely with founders, or in a recruitment consultancy.
• Active Sourcing: Direct outreach is your specialty. You write messages that people respond to, and you know your conversion rates from outreach to hire.
• Willingness to Learn: You want more than "just" recruiting and are eager to independently learn new topics such as employer branding, payroll, or onboarding.
• Self-Responsibility & Speed: You work quickly, hands-on, and independently. You deliver in days, not weeks, and measure yourself by results rather than activities.
• Data Competence & Communication: You steer by numbers, not by gut feeling, and keep target values like Time-to-Hire in mind.
• Stress Resistance: You remain calm when multiple processes and projects are running in parallel and a desired candidate cancels at short notice.

A plus, but not a must

• LinkedIn & Content: You have initial experience with LinkedIn content or employer branding. If not, we will teach you how to build content strategically.
• Industry Experience: You are familiar with D2C, E-commerce, or Premium Consumer Brands and have filled Marketing, Sales, or Tech roles.
• HR Admin: You have had previous contact with payroll, employment contracts, or onboarding processes.
• Startup Experience: You have built an area from scratch before.

Benefits

• Salary: €60,000 fixed + €10,000 variable upon clear target achievement, totaling €70,000 OTE.
• Impact: You will take on a key role in the area that is most important for our growth.
• Team: You will work with an extremely ambitious team and directly with the three founders, with real decision-making power from day 1.
• Personal Growth: You will grow beyond recruiting into employer branding, People Ops, and HR administration, with onboarding and direct sparring with the founders.
