Senior Talent Acquisition Manager (m/f/d)

Have you ever hired someone and known: This one decision changes the whole company?

Have you ever experienced how a single wrong hire sets 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 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 to us helps decide whether we succeed. You choose who walks this path with us.

What truly defines us: For years, the three of us founders have thought about little else but FINE DINE. For us, the result counts, 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 don't just complete People & Culture here within an existing system. You build it.

Are you on board?

Responsibilities

• Recruiting Ownership: You are 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 find key hires through direct outreach via LinkedIn and your network, in the Ulm region and beyond.
• Recruiting System: You build the foundation for fast and sustainable recruitment: pipeline, scorecards, interview guides, and KPIs like Time-to-Hire, Response Rate, and Conversion.
• Sparring Partner for the Founders: You advise your hiring managers on an equal footing and with data.
• Employer Branding & Content: You make FINE DINE visible as an employer. You build our LinkedIn presence from scratch, post regularly about the team, culture, and our daily life, involve the team, and write job ads that show who we really are.
• Onboarding & Point of Contact: You are the point of contact for our team and ensure that new colleagues settle in quickly and are productive from day 1.
• People Operations: You coordinate with our tax office and payroll department and are the first point of contact for all HR topics within the team.

Qualifications

• Recruiting Experience: You bring experience in recruiting, ideally in-house in a start-up or scale-up in close collaboration with the 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 explore new topics like employer branding, payroll, or onboarding.
• Ownership & Speed: You work fast, hands-on, and independently. You deliver in days, not weeks, and measure yourself by results, not activities.
• Data Competence & Communication: You steer by numbers, not by gut feeling, and have 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 know D2C, e-commerce, or premium consumer brands and have filled marketing, sales, or tech roles.
• HR Admin: You have had previous exposure to payroll, employment contracts, or onboarding processes.
• Building Experience: You have built a department from scratch before.

Benefits

• Salary: €60,000 fixed + €10,000 variable upon clear target achievement, resulting in €70,000 OTE.
• Impact: You take on a key role in the area most crucial to our growth.
• Team: You work with an extremely ambitious team and directly with the three founders, with real decision-making authority from day 1.
• Personal Growth: You grow beyond recruiting into employer branding, people ops, and HR admin, with onboarding and direct sparring with the founders.
