Full Job Description

📋 Description

• You own hiring at Swans, a company that is turning a law firm from a firm that uses software into a firm whose operations run themselves.
• The company is fully remote, with your day overlapping European hours enough to work closely with the team, with quarterly in-person team meetups.
• You report to Max, our CEO, and you build the recruiting function from nothing: process, tooling, and in time your own team.
• You will be responsible for hiring roughly twenty hires over the next eighteen months, across profiles that have almost nothing in common, including product engineers, legal engineers, onboarding and delivery, client success, consultants and support, and the company backbone.
• You will be doing both high-inbound and low-inbound roles, with the balance shifting constantly.
• You will be responsible for sourcing, screening, and interviewing candidates, as well as building the recruiting process and tooling from scratch.
• You will be working closely with the founding team, including Max and Martin, to shape every key hire and build the recruiting function from the ground up.
• You will have a clear path to Head of Talent as Swans scales and you build your own team.
• You will have real money on getting better, including executive coaching, conferences, certifications and training, with over $200,000 across the team last year.

🎯 Requirements

• End-to-end ownership of the hiring process, with the ability to run hiring loops yourself, from sourcing to offer, without a big team holding your hand.
• Outbound sourcing that works, with the ability to go after people who were not looking and get them to reply.
• Speed and a trial-and-error instinct, with the ability to move fast, test approaches, and do not get precious about process.
• Sharp judgment on people, with the ability to read a CV and a fifteen-minute call and form a defensible point of view.
• Strong written and spoken English, with the ability to write crisp and synthesized write-ups and run interviews smoothly and confidently.

🏖️ Benefits

• Stock options, 4-year vest, 1-year cliff.
• A bonus you help design, with a scorecard behind the €20,000 that you build with Max in your first month.
• Fully remote, same band wherever you live, with quarterly in-person team meetups.
• Direct partnership with the founders, with the ability to shape every key hire and build the recruiting function from the ground up.
• A clear path to Head of Talent as Swans scales and you build your own team.
• Real money on getting better, including executive coaching, conferences, certifications and training, with over $200,000 across the team last year.
