Job description

Mawave – Europe's leading social media outcomes agency – translates consumer brands into social media. As the social lead agency behind brands such as E.ON, Jack Wolfskin and ATU, Mawave manages nearly 200 million euros in advertising spend, the largest social media budget of any independent agency in Europe. The secret behind the success of its more than 170 social natives lies in their deep understanding of social media and innovative use of it beyond traditional formulas: through the full reintegration of media, creative and production expertise.

  • Team leadership and development: You lead our three-person recruiting team, consisting of a Senior, a Manager and a working student. You take responsibility for the development and performance of your team members and set clear goals together with them.
  • End-to-end recruiting and candidate experience: You are responsible for filling your own positions, from needs analysis and advising departments through to hiring. You ensure an outstanding candidate experience.
  • Active sourcing and talent pools: You develop an overarching active sourcing strategy, approach top talent directly and build sustainable talent pipelines for future vacancies.
  • Stakeholder management and reporting: You are the central point of contact for hiring managers and departments, advise them throughout the entire recruiting process and create transparency and trust through meaningful reporting.
  • Employer branding and campaigns: You are responsible for our employer branding budget and work with the team to develop creative recruiting campaigns and events that raise the visibility of our employer brand and reach suitable talent.
  • Leadership experience: You have at least one year of experience leading a recruiting team and know how to support team members' individual development and motivate them to perform at their best.
  • Hands-on approach to recruiting: You still enjoy operational recruiting and are keen to manage your own vacancies. To do so, you have several years of experience filling non-technical positions as an in-house recruiter.
  • Recruiting strategy and active sourcing: You have in-depth expertise in active sourcing and have already developed and successfully implemented recruiting strategies.
  • Employer branding: You are fascinated by social media, modern recruiting trends and the marketing world. You enjoy driving employer branding campaigns and events forward together with your team.
  • Ownership and resilience: You enjoy taking responsibility and act proactively and in a solution-oriented way. During intense periods, such as hiring sprints, you keep an overview and set clear priorities.
  • Data and tools: You manage recruiting processes based on data and can prepare relevant metrics in meaningful reports. You are very familiar with Google Workspace and LinkedIn Recruiter. Experience with Personio is a plus.
  • Communication: You communicate confidently and persuasively in German and English.
  • Great team spirit and a collegial atmosphere with flat hierarchies
  • Lots of fun alongside a high level of professionalism and exciting projects
  • Flexible working hours and the option to work from home
  • 30 days of vacation per year
  • Workation and sabbatical: Make your working life flexible and unique with up to three months of workation, or consciously recharge during a sabbatical of up to two months
  • Non-cash benefit or EGYM Wellpass: Shop for your summer outfit or access more than 8,000 sports and wellness offers, on top of your salary
  • Tax-free meal allowance: Alongside drinks and snacks, you receive a meal allowance of 7.50 euros per day
  • Mobility allowance: Travel by public transport and get 32 euros back per month
  • Several team events and after-work events each year, such as barbecues on the rooftop terrace
  • Modern, bright office in Munich with a view over the city and good public transport connections
