Role brief
As a Recruiting Consultant at PowerUs, you will build a new business division from the ground up – not as a small side project, but with real ownership. You are responsible for the entire 360° recruiting process: You acquire new clients, understand their needs, develop mandates from them, and find the right candidates. You don't wait for incoming applications; instead, you actively reach out: You contact clients and passive candidates directly, bring both sides together, and manage the process through to successful placement. 💼 Your Tasks Clients You actively acquire new clients – by phone, via WhatsApp, on LinkedIn, through direct contacts, and other relevant channels. You qualify leads, understand concrete hiring needs, and convert suitable opportunities into mandates. You strategically use open job postings as an entry point for acquisition – ideally with a matching candidate profile already in hand. You build solid client relationships and develop them into long-term partnerships. Candidates You actively approach passive candidates – from the PowerUs pool and through additional sourcing channels. You conduct screenings and qualification interviews to quickly assess motivation, experience, and fit. You prepare compelling candidate profiles including CV and summary and present them to the client. You coordinate interviews, manage follow-ups, and support both sides through to contract signature. Process & Development You independently manage your processes in the CRM and maintain clean documentation of all steps. You bring structure to your pipeline, prioritize consistently, and actively drive processes forward. You build processes, tools, and working methods with us from the ground up – with the goal of making a new business division scalable. 🙌 What You Bring Must-have 2–4 years of experience as a 360° headhunter, recruiting consultant, or personnel consultant on the agency side. Experience in active direct outreach to candidates – not just application management. Proven experience in new client acquisition, mandate generation, and independent client management. Phone-first mentality: You pick up the phone instead of just writing messages. Closing strength on both sides: You can convince candidates and win clients. Very good German and good English. Nice-to-have Experience in the trades, industry, blue-collar, or comparable target groups. Routine in handling CRM or ATS systems. 💪 Benefits Competitive salary including employee participation. 30 days of vacation per year. €1,500 annual training budget for courses, conferences, or professional literature. Subsidy for Urban Sports Club or Wellhub. Regular team events and company-wide offsites. As an equal opportunity employer, we proudly welcome applications from people of all races, ethnicities, disability statuses, ages, religions, gender identities, and sexual orientations. We encourage you to apply even if you don't think you meet all of the criteria above but are still interested in the role and our mission.
