At Vilgain, we are growing fast across markets, teams and functions. Hiring is one of the biggest levers for our growth, so recruitment cannot be just about posting jobs and moving candidates through the process. We need a Senior Recruiter who can act as a real talent partner, someone who understands the business, challenges hiring managers when needed and brings the right people into the company.

What will be your mission?
  • Own end-to-end recruitment for selected roles across Vilgain — from intake with the hiring manager to sourcing, screening, process management, offer and closing.

  • Build strong pipelines for business-critical roles across HQ, marketing, product, operations, retail, and international expansion.

  • Partner closely with hiring managers to understand what the role really needs, define the hiring bar and set up a clear search strategy.

  • Challenge unrealistic requirements and help hiring managers separate true must-haves from “nice to have” expectations.

  • Actively source candidates through LinkedIn, databases, referrals, communities and other relevant channels.

  • Run high-quality screening calls focused on motivation, impact, ownership, performance and culture fit.

  • Improve candidate evaluation through structured notes, clear recommendations and strong proof of excellence.

  • Manage the hiring process with speed, clarity and discipline, making sure candidates and hiring managers always know the next step.

  • Support offer preparation and closing, including candidate motivation, compensation expectations and risk management.

  • Use recruitment data to understand funnel health, bottlenecks and conversion rates, then turn insights into action.

  • Contribute to better recruitment standards, templates, interview questions, case studies and candidate experience.

Who do we look for?
  • You have strong experience in recruitment, talent acquisition or executive search, ideally from a fast-growing company or agency with high standards.

  • You can manage end-to-end recruitment independently and do not need to be told what to do at every step.

  • You are strong in sourcing and know how to find people who are not actively applying.

  • You understand that good recruitment is not about volume, but about quality, judgment and business impact.

  • You can partner with hiring managers, but you are not afraid to challenge them when the brief does not make sense.

  • You know how to evaluate candidates beyond CV keywords and polished interview answers.

  • You can ask sharp questions, identify real achievements and separate ownership from participation.

  • You communicate clearly, directly and professionally with candidates and internal stakeholders.

  • You are structured, fast and reliable. You keep the process moving without creating chaos.

  • You care about candidate experience, but you also protect the hiring bar.

  • You are comfortable working with data, pipelines, ATS and recruitment tools.

What do we offer?
  • You will get the opportunity to shape recruitment in a fast-growing company where hiring quality directly influences the speed and success of the business.

  • You will own roles that are critical for scaling Vilgain — not just filling positions, but helping us attract and select stronger people who can move the company forward.

  • You can expect a fast-moving environment, trust, ownership and the chance to improve processes that genuinely matter. You will work closely with hiring managers and leadership across the company, with real space to challenge, simplify and build.

  • We also offer fair compensation, 25 days of holiday, employee discount on the full Vilgain range, Vilgain products in the office, education support and other benefits based on our internal setup.
