Job description

We're making cash management easy and rewarding

Spiko is a Paris-based fintech, founded in 2023 by Paul-Adrien Hyppolite and Antoine Michon.

We empower businesses of all sizes to access the best cash management products that are usually reserved for large corporations and institutional investors. Our products are available through a web app, via API, or through a growing network of distribution partners. Unlike banks, which tend to offer rigid products, our solutions are straightforward, transparent, and incredibly flexible.

Hundreds of companies trust us to collectively manage hundreds of millions of euros through our platform.

The role: Talent Acquisition Manager

As our Talent Acquisition Manager, you'll own hiring for our Tech & Product teams, and support other functions across the business as we scale. Reporting to the Head of People & Talent, you'll act as a true headhunter, not just a process manager, going out and finding the talent that will define Spiko's next stage of growth. Success looks like building a sourcing engine and candidate experience strong enough to consistently win top engineers, product managers and other key hires in a competitive market.

Key Responsibilities

Sourcing & Headhunting

• Proactively source and approach passive candidates for Tech & Product roles (engineering, product management, design) and beyond
• Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline ahead of need, not just reactively to open roles
• Bring real headhunting rigor: market mapping, targeted outreach, and a sharp read on what makes candidates move

Hiring Process & Candidate Experience

• Own the full-cycle recruitment process from calibration with hiring managers to offer
• Design and run structured, fast-moving interview processes that reflect Spiko's pace and standards
• Ensure every candidate, hired or not, has an excellent experience with Spiko

Partnering with Hiring Managers & Founders

• Run tight calibration loops with hiring managers and founders on job descriptions, scorecards, and candidate profiles
• Provide market insights (comp benchmarks, talent pool sizing, sourcing strategy) to inform hiring decisions
• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, not just an order-taker

Process & Continuous Improvement

• Track and report on pipeline health, time-to-hire, and sourcing channel performance
• Identify bottlenecks and suggest concrete improvements to how Spiko hires
• Help build scalable Talent Acquisition processes and tools as the company grows

Who we're looking for

Requirements (must-haves):

• 5+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition, with genuine headhunting experience (direct sourcing, market mapping, cold outreach), not only inbound/agency-fed recruitment
• Proven track record hiring for Tech & Product roles (engineering, product, design)
• Excellent English skills, both written and spoken (French is a plus but not required)
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous, early-stage startup environment
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to challenge and align hiring managers and founders
• A sharp, data-informed approach to recruitment (pipeline metrics, sourcing channel performance)
• High ownership mindset and bias for action

Nice to have:

• Experience in a top-tier, high-growth startup or scale-up
• Experience hiring in fintech
• Experience building or improving TA processes and tools from scratch

What we offer

• Salary range: 45k - 70k€ (annual base) + Stock Options
• Remote work: up to 2 days per week and one full remote week per month
• The best tech for your job: latest-generation laptops and industry-leading software
• Health insurance: 100% covered by Spiko
• Monthly Budget to cover different perks of choice
• Social life: regular afterworks and biannual offsites

Our hiring process

• Hiring Manager interview - 30 mins with Agnès, Head of People
• Business Case: To work on at home and present online or in person
• Interview with your future stakeholders
• Final in-person Interviews with the Founders
• Reference Check: we'll reach out to your references to gather further insights

At Spiko, we hire for what you can bring - your skills, your judgment, your drive - not for what you look like, where you come from, or what your background is. We're committed to building a team that reflects the breadth of the customers we serve, and to creating an environment where everyone can do their best work.

If something in this job description doesn't match your background perfectly but you believe you'd thrive in the role, we encourage you to apply anyway. Tell us why.
