Job description

Over the past few years, we built a powerhouse team of 60+ driven, talented people. It worked. We're growing, delivering, and making real impact across Europe and Africa. But now we're entering the next chapter, and it's big.

We're hiring 150+ people in the next 6-9 months. That kind of growth doesn't happen by accident — and it definitely doesn't happen without a stellar inhouse recruiter leading the charge.

With our mission rooted in nature restoration, sustainability, and real-world impact across Africa and beyond, we don't just need people — we need the right people, and fast.

To pull this off, we need an inhouse recruiter with stamina, creativity, and a sixth sense for spotting future stars before the world knows their name.

This isn't corporate. It's not bureaucratic. It's real, it's fast, and it's intense. We're a do-first culture — we don't wait for permission, we make things happen. If you need structure and long approval chains, this won't be your place. But if you like the chaos of creation, read on.

What You'll Do

• Build and execute recruitment campaigns at scale, across multiple countries and departments.
• Own the entire hiring funnel, from sourcing to offer. And do it again. And again.
• Actively over-hire to build depth, absorb attrition, and prep for the next growth wave.
• Source from the public, not just job boards. Events, communities, smart networks. You know how.
• Implement and optimize workflows using tools like Workable and TestGorilla, but never hide behind them.
• Keep the pipeline full. Empty pipelines mean empty results.
• Align with hiring managers without losing momentum, recruitment is a daily executive function here
  
  
  

Requirements

Who You Are

• 2+ years in recruitment in a hyper-growth environment or scaling startup.
• Comfortable hiring across cultures and time zones, especially in Africa.
• You love people, but you really love results.
• You're highly organized but move fast, velocity doesn't scare you.
• You speak fluent English. Bonus if you know how to charm in Swahili, French or Dutch.
• Most of all: you're a doer. You don't delegate your impact. You deliver it.
  
  

Apply If You Want

• A bigger stage. A sharper challenge. A deeper mission.
• To prove that speed and quality can go hand in hand.
• To join a team where recruitment isn't a support function , it's central to the mission
