About the Role
At Catawiki, our Talent Acquisition team plays a key role in building the tech organisation that powers our marketplace. As our Tech Recruiter, you’ll focus on finding and connecting with great engineering talent in Lisbon, Amsterdam and across the world, including candidates open to relocation.
Your core responsibility is sourcing and screening. You’ll identify strong profiles, reach out in thoughtful ways and quickly assess whether they’re a match for our teams. You’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring managers to understand what’s needed, build solid pipelines and keep the process moving smoothly.
As our tech team continues to grow, you’ll be an important partner in helping us hire the engineers who will shape the next chapters of our product.
Who you are
You’re a Tech Recruiter who loves the hunt. You know how to find engineers others overlook, and you’re confident turning a cold profile into a warm conversation. You’ll likely bring:
- Proven experience sourcing and screening engineers, using LinkedIn, Boolean, X-ray and other creative tactics with ease.
- A strong ability to quickly understand who is a real match and who is not. You keep the hiring funnel tight by filtering effectively, even when speaking to many candidates.
- A genuine affinity for tech. You understand the basics of languages, frameworks and architecture, and you can quickly grasp what a team needs.
- The ability to partner well with recruiters and hiring managers, building trust and aligning quickly on what good looks like.
- Comfort using AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini for talent mapping, research and sourcing efficiency.
Where you’ll be
This position can be based in our Lisbon office. We work in a hybrid setup with Tuesday and Thursday as our fixed office days.
Why You’ll Love Working with Us
- Create a visible impact by working at scale in a global organisation serving millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope and directly impacts both our customers and the business.
- Learn and grow through our Learning & Development initiatives, including clear development plans and mentorship programmes to support your career progression.
- A culture of connection defines us. We’re a passionate, diverse team of 800+ Catawikians representing 60+ nationalities. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly environment where everyone is encouraged to bring their full self to work.
- Celebrate life’s moments with us. You’ll receive a €100 Catavoucher when you join, a €50 Catavoucher on your birthday, and an extra day off each year to “Pursue Your Passion”. We also offer additional leave for key work anniversaries and important life events. Benefits may vary by location.
Our Offices and Way of Working
Our vibrant offices in Amsterdam, Paris and Lisbon are designed to inspire collaboration. Most Catawikians operate in a hybrid setup, combining office-based and remote work, with a minimum of two days per week in the office, unless a role is explicitly stated as fully remote or fully office-based.
