TL;DR

We’re looking for a full-time Technical Recruiter to lead our talent engine. You’ll own sourcing and acquisition, keep our candidate funnel full of high-caliber talent, and make hiring feel seamless for the team. You’ll be the face of Lovable - pitching to great candidates, building networks in key talent hubs, and running targeted events to attract the best. We need someone hands-on, strategic, and obsessed with quality.

Why Lovable?

• Change the world, literally: 2025 is the year AI works, and Lovable has the best AI full stack engineer product (according to industry veterans)

• Work, learn, have fun: We’re building the strongest technical team in Europe. You will shape our culture and be inspired in a place of exceptional talent density

• Build a unique network: Lovable is a global top AI brand that the world is eager to work with. You will meet and work with some of the most important people in tech

• Get autonomy & ownership: With lots of things being built, this is a unique opportunity to get ownership and have a true impact on our product

• Compensation: Lovable pays top of market cash and equity, and is committed to compensate better than any other company in Sweden on a performance basis

What we’re looking for

• A proactive and resourceful recruiter who thrives in fast-paced startup environments

• 5+ years of experience in technical recruiting, ideally at early-stage fast-growing startups

• Proven track record of sourcing, pitching, and closing top-tier engineering talent

• Bonus: You have a technical background (e.g. computer science degree) and can tell the difference between a decent engineer and a top 1% engineer

• Experience building and maintaining candidate pipelines, referral loops, and organizing targeted recruitment events

• Strong communication and storytelling skills to share Lovable’s mission without overselling

• You’re not afraid to dig deep on reference calls or push back when quality isn’t there

• Bonus: You’ve helped build teams from 0 → 1 or supported high-growth scale-ups

Your responsibilities

• Own the top of funnel: Actively source, reach out to, and screen candidates across diverse channels (e.g. X, LinkedIn, GitHub, in-person, networks)

• Be the first impression of Lovable—pitch the company with authenticity and energy to get great candidates excited

• Build and nurture a strong talent network in key talent hubs (Stockholm, New York and later SF) and stay top-of-mind with future hires

• Plan and host small-scale recruiting events (IRL events, dinners, AMAs, panels) to build community and surface passive talent

• Partner with hiring managers to tighten job descriptions, interview loops, and closing strategies

• Save the team time by pre-vetting for quality, coordinating interviews, and running thoughtful reference checks

• Use data to track sourcing performance, identify bottlenecks, and improve conversion at each stage

• Act as a strategic talent partner, not just a coordinator—you'll help shape how we build the team
