What You Will Do

We are looking for a highly skilled and creative Talent Acquisition Manager with exceptional sourcing abilities to drive and own our technical hiring—especially for our world-class C++ Engineering team. You will manage end-to-end recruitment while developing innovative sourcing strategies to engage some of the most talented engineers in the industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage full-cycle recruitment for tech roles, with a focus on sourcing and hiring top-tier C++ engineers.
• Build and execute advanced, creative sourcing strategies that go far beyond LinkedIn and traditional channels.
• Actively map talent markets, identify niche communities, and engage with passive candidates globally.
• Partner closely with Hiring Managers to deeply understand role requirements and collaboratively refine sourcing approaches.
• Coach candidates through a highly challenging and selective hiring process, ensuring excellent experience, transparency, and feedback.
• Track sourcing effectiveness, test new tools, and design new sourcing processes tailored to C++ hiring.
• Represent think-cell at technical events, conferences, meetups, and universities to expand our talent pipeline.
• Maintain a high bar for quality while filling roles efficiently in a competitive global market.
• Help shape our employer branding in the tech space, refining messaging and outreach strategies.

You will be great for this position if you have

• Exceptional sourcing skills, with proven experience engaging highly technical candidates (ideally C++ or similar).
• Strong creativity in sourcing: ability to think beyond LinkedIn, experiment with new channels, communities, events, and markets.
• A resilient mindset — our C++ hiring bar is extremely high, and even excellent candidates sometimes don't pass. You are motivated, not discouraged, by this.
• Coachability and openness to feedback from Hiring Managers, engineers, and candidates.
• Experience managing end-to-end tech recruitment processes in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with experienced stakeholders.
• The ability to engage senior-level technical profiles — C++ hiring at think-cell is closer to executive search than standard tech recruiting.
• Comfort attending and representing think-cell at industry events.
• Berlin-based (or willing to relocate), with flexibility for occasional travel.

• Forward Thinking: We embrace change and challenge the status quo.
• Ownership: We take pride in our work and learn from our mistakes.
• Customer First: We prioritize delivering lasting value.
• Unified Team: We foster collaboration, respect, and integrity.
