Job description

German speaking is a must!

At Optimus Search, we’re shaping the IT industry one placement at a time. As specialists in Digital, Data, and Life Sciences recruitment, we connect top tech talent across Europe with some of the most exciting companies and opportunities.

Our growth from our mobile market origins into three market‑leading divisions, Optimus Digital, Optimus Data, and Optimus Life Sciences, has made us a major player in the recruitment sector.

We’re now looking for a Recruitment Candidate Resourcer (German‑Speaking) to join our London team.

This is a 180 role, working closely with one of our top billers to support their success in the German market — focusing on finding and placing exceptional candidates rather than generating new business.

Key Responsibilities

As a Recruitment Candidate Resourcer (German‑Speaking), you will:

• Work directly with one of our top‑performing consultants, supporting them in delivering recruitment solutions to high‑profile German clients.
• Proactively headhunt and source candidates across the Digital, Data, and Life Sciences sectors in Germany.
• Screen and interview candidates to assess their suitability for specific roles.
• Manage candidates through the entire process — from initial contact to offer acceptance.
• Build strong relationships with candidates, keeping them engaged and informed throughout the hiring process.
• Ensure an exceptional candidate experience at every stage.

The Ideal Candidate

You don’t need recruitment experience — we’ll train you — but you do need to:

• Be fluent in German and English, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Have a passion for people and building relationships.
• Be highly organised, with strong attention to detail.
• Be self‑motivated, results‑driven, and eager to learn.
• Enjoy working in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment.

Why Join Optimus Search?

We don’t just offer jobs — we build careers.

• Tailored Training – Kick off with our 4‑week programme led by our in‑house L&D Director.
• Career Development – Clear progression path to move into full 360 recruitment or senior delivery roles.
• Learn from the Best – Work directly with a top biller in the business and gain hands‑on experience with high‑value clients.
• Unlimited Earnings – Uncapped commission, no threshold — your success determines your income.
