About Chapter 2

Talent Operations

At Chapter 2, we are redefining the future of talent through AI-powered and human-led solutions.

We combine technology with deep recruitment expertise to help ambitious organisations hire smarter, move faster and build teams that drive growth.

We don't operate like a traditional recruitment agency. Our Talent Partners work embedded within our clients' businesses, becoming a true extension of their teams and taking ownership of the hiring that matters.

As we continue to grow across Germany and mainland Europe, we're looking for talented German-speaking recruiters and Talent Partners who want to work differently.

The Opportunity

We are looking for German-speaking Talent Partners to join our team and support a portfolio of exciting, high-growth clients across Germany.

You'll take ownership of recruitment across a range of roles, partnering closely with hiring managers and business leaders to understand what they need, build strong talent pipelines and deliver exceptional candidates.

Depending on the client, you will work across areas such as GTM, Sales, Technology, Product, Finance and other specialist functions.

This is an opportunity for a Talent Partner who wants more than simply filling vacancies.

You will have the opportunity to influence hiring decisions, build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, use data and technology to improve recruitment, and genuinely own your work.

What You'll Do

• Own the recruitment process from intake and sourcing through to offer and close.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand their requirements and define what great looks like.

• Build targeted talent pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter, sourcing platforms, networks and creative search strategies.

• Conduct high-quality candidate screening and assessment, looking beyond the CV to understand capability, motivation and cultural fit.

• Build strong relationships with candidates and ensure an exceptional candidate experience throughout the process.

• Act as a trusted recruitment partner to hiring managers, bringing market insight and challenging briefs where necessary.

• Use recruitment data and metrics to understand funnel performance, identify bottlenecks and improve outcomes.

• Leverage AI and recruitment technology to work smarter, automate repetitive tasks and improve the quality and speed of your work.

• Manage multiple roles and priorities while maintaining a high level of delivery and attention to detail.

• Represent Chapter 2 and our clients in the German talent market.

What You'll Bring

• 3–6+ years of recruitment experience, ideally within an agency, RPO, embedded or in-house environment.

• Fluent German and strong English communication skills.

• Experience recruiting within the German market and an understanding of the local talent landscape.

• Strong sourcing skills and confidence using LinkedIn Recruiter and other recruitment technology.

• The ability to manage a recruitment process independently and take ownership of your roles.

• Strong stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work with hiring managers and senior leaders.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build genuine relationships with candidates.

• Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.

• A people-first mindset and genuine care for candidate experience.

What Makes Chapter 2 Different?

You won't be measured by how many CVs you send.

You will be trusted to understand the brief, understand the market, identify the right talent and advise your client.

You won't be working from the outside.

You will become embedded in your client's business, working closely with their teams and understanding their culture, challenges and growth plans.

You won't be expected to do things the way they've always been done.

We combine human expertise with AI and technology to build smarter, more scalable recruitment solutions.

And you won't be doing it alone.

You will be part of a collaborative Talent Operations team where you'll have access to coaching, knowledge sharing and continuous development.

What We Offer

• Hybrid working from Berlin.

• The opportunity to work with ambitious, high-growth companies across Germany and Europe.

• Embedded recruitment partnerships rather than transactional agency recruitment.

• Real ownership of your roles, relationships and delivery.

• Exposure to different industries, functions and talent markets.

• A modern, AI-enabled approach to recruitment.

• Dedicated time and budget for learning and development.

• A collaborative team with regular feedback, coaching and support.

• The opportunity to grow with a scaling Talent Operations business.
