Join the team powering SumUp's European sales engine.
We're on a mission to scale a team of 1,000+ sales reps across Europe by year-end — and we're looking for a high-impact Talent Acquisition Partner to help make it happen. In this role, you'll take full ownership of the hiring funnel, driving mission-critical volume recruitment that directly fuels SumUp's growth.
If you love delivering at scale, thrive under pressure, and are excited by the challenge of building sales teams across multiple markets — we want to hear from you.
What you'll do:
-
Own the full recruitment lifecycle for field sales reps across key European markets — from sourcing to offer to onboarding.
-
Deliver 18 onboardings per month (or 24 hires) and help us continuously improve conversion from offer to start.
-
Optimize the funnel by designing efficient, high-conversion processes and using data to track bottlenecks and improve hiring outcomes.
-
Manage high-volume pipelines across multiple geographies and languages.
-
Shape employer brand strategy by boosting visibility and application flow through branding, sourcing campaigns, and local market insights.
-
Use hiring metrics to scale smarter and identify new ways to improve efficiency and impact.
-
Act as a growth enabler by directly influencing our ability to reach new customers through the salesforce you help build.
What You Bring to the Table:
-
Proven track record in high-volume hiring (15+ hires/month minimum — more is a bonus!)
-
Experience hiring commercial or sales roles — you speak their language, and you know how to close top performers.
-
Strong sourcing skills. Boolean, social, referrals you've got the tools and the tenacity to build robust pipelines.
-
Process ownership. You've run a full recruitment funnel before and know how to move quickly, juggle multiple roles, and keep hiring on track.
-
Resilience and results-focused. You don't just solve problems — you anticipate them and stay two steps ahead.
Bonus Points If You:
- Speak English plus another European language (German, French, Portuguese, Dutch or Italian)
- Come from a high-volume and/or agency background
- Have experience hiring self-employed or commission-based sales reps
