Jobbeschreibung

You spot great tech talent before they even start looking? Join Smart Host as Recruiter and build our Engineering, Product & Ops teams from intake to offer. Hybrid or remote, real ownership, team trip included.

Smart Host is a B2B SaaS platform helping hotels turn fragmented guest and booking data into actionable insights.

For 2026, we’re taking the platform to the next level by building a broader hospitality ecosystem that connects selected technology partners to improve the guest experience across the entire hotel journey.

What you'll do

As our Recruiter – Tech & Operations, you will take ownership of recruiting across our organization, with a strong focus on Technology roles and additional responsibility for Operations and other business functions.

You will report directly to our Senior HR Manager and work closely with hiring managers across the company. We are looking for an experienced, independent recruiter who is comfortable owning the full recruitment process and proactively driving hiring needs from initial intake through to successful hire.

This is a highly hands-on role. You will not just coordinate recruitment processes - you will actively source, engage, assess and build relationships with candidates, particularly across our technical talent landscape.

Your tasks in a nutshell:

• End-to-End Recruitment: Independently manage the full recruitment process, from defining requirements with hiring managers and sourcing candidates to interviews, offer management and closing.
• Tech Recruiting Focus: Own and drive recruitment for technical roles across Engineering, Product, Data and other technology-related functions. You understand technical profiles and know how to identify and engage strong tech talent.
• Operations Recruiting: Support and independently recruit for Operations and selected business roles as required.
• Proactive Talent Sourcing: Build and maintain strong talent pipelines through direct sourcing, LinkedIn, referrals, networks and other relevant channels rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Work closely with hiring managers and the Senior HR Manager to understand hiring needs, challenge requirements where appropriate and ensure an efficient, high-quality recruitment process.
• Candidate Experience: Own the candidate journey and represent Smart Host professionally throughout the process.
• Recruitment Ownership: Take responsibility for your roles and actively drive processes forward. You are comfortable working independently, prioritizing competing hiring needs and keeping stakeholders informed.
• Hands-on HR Support: We are a growing team, so you are happy to roll up your sleeves and support other HR activities when recruitment capacity allows. You see yourself as part of the broader HR team, not just as a recruiter.
• Continuous Improvement: Help us improve our recruiting processes, tools, employer branding and overall talent acquisition strategy as we grow.

What you bring

• Recruiting Experience: You have several years of professional recruiting experience, ideally with a strong track record in technical recruiting.
• Tech Recruiting Expertise: You have successfully recruited software engineers and other technical profiles and are comfortable understanding technical requirements and translating them into effective sourcing strategies.
• End-to-End Ownership: You are used to managing recruitment processes independently and taking full ownership of your roles.
• Self-Starter Mentality: You don't wait to be told what to do. You proactively identify what needs to happen, take action and keep processes moving.
• Strong Sourcing Skills: You know how to find and engage passive candidates and are comfortable building talent pipelines from scratch.
• Business & Operations Recruiting: Experience recruiting Operations or other non-technical business roles is a strong advantage.
• Stakeholder Management: You communicate confidently with hiring managers and senior stakeholders and can advise, challenge and partner effectively throughout the hiring process.
• Hands-on & Pragmatic: You enjoy getting things done yourself. You are not afraid to jump into different HR topics or support the wider team when priorities shift.
• Ownership Mindset: You take responsibility for outcomes, pay attention to detail and care about delivering a great experience for both candidates and hiring teams.
• Fluency in English: You communicate fluently in English, both verbally and in writing. German skills are an advantage.
• Entitlement to work in Germany: You are legally entitled to work in Germany and do not require visa sponsorship. For legal hiring reasons, we can only consider candidates based in Germany for this role.

Why Smart Host

• Real impact: You will have direct influence on our hiring strategy, the teams we build and the growth of Smart Host.
• Hybrid or remote within Germany: Work hybrid from our Berlin office or remotely from within Germany. We occasionally bring the team together in Berlin for workshops, planning, and collaboration.
• Team culture: Join a diverse, multicultural team with an open office culture and a few four-legged colleagues.
• Smart Host Days - Team Travel: Once a year, we take the whole team on a trip abroad. The trip combines team bonding, training, and the chance to live our mission: making vacation smart.
