Job description

Talentful is shaping the future of how high-growth companies build world-class teams. We partner with some of the fastest-scaling technology businesses to turn talent into a durable competitive advantage and help them win in the market by attracting, engaging, and retaining the top talent who accelerate growth.

Founded in 2015, Talentful brings together seasoned talent leaders who embed seamlessly alongside in‑house teams. Through a flexible, subscription‑based model, we provide the strategic horsepower and operational execution needed to scale with precision—from executive hiring and workforce planning to improving talent processes, employer brand activation, and building inclusive, high‑performing organizations.

Our focus is not simply filling roles, but enabling talent functions to deliver measurable business outcomes. We’ve helped global innovators scale efficiently and thoughtfully, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Pinterest, Atlassian, Expedia, Instacart, Miro, and many more.

With a global team across Europe and the US, we’re united by a single mission: to help every company we work with grow to its highest potential. As we continue building the world’s leading talent consultancy, we’re looking for people who want to help redefine what “recruitment” can be by transforming it into a true driver of business value and long‑term competitive advantage.

What will you do around here?

• Conduct market mapping across sales or tech to identify top‑tier talent

• Utilise deep competitor research and talent identification to bring insights and intelligence back to the team

• Support searches and sourcing with data‑led input, focusing on market intelligence rather than just execution

• Partner with top‑tier stakeholders, helping them to enable better decision‑making through data and insights

• Your focus will be delivering project‑based hiring, salary benchmarking, and strategic talent insights

We'd love to chat with you if you have:

• Deep market knowledge and a strong understanding of Sales or Tech markets

• A high bar for quality, with a proven ability to target and go after top‑tier, proven performers

• A “Talent partner” mindset that is research, insight, and strategy‑led rather than just executional

• Product-minded and plug‑and‑play capability, able to operate in a high talent density environment

• The ability to raise the overall bar of hiring through better inputs, targeting, and competitor intelligence

What's in it for you?

• This is the best place in the world for talent professionals to develop and hone their skills.

• You will be working with one of the largest technology companies in the world.

• Working alongside world‑class people, in an environment where sharing of knowledge and best practice is a constant.
