Corporate Recruiter

We’re looking for an experienced German-speaking Corporate Recruiter to join our growing team and drive hiring success in the German market.

In this role, you will take ownership of the full recruitment cycle for Germany, hiring across departments such as Sales, Customer Success, Marketing and potentially Product or Engineering as we scale.

You will work closely with hiring managers in Germany and the Netherlands to define hiring needs, build effective sourcing strategies and ensure an outstanding candidate experience.

In this role, you will be the first recruiter for Shiftbase in Germany and as such this is a high-impact role with strong visibility, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced SaaS environment and wants to build recruitment in a scaling international company. Germany is a high-potential growth market for Shiftbase, and attracting the right people will define our success there.

About us

Shiftbase helps over 10,000 companies across various industries simplify their workforce planning and time tracking every month. Our platform is simple, flexible, and scalable, a complete solution for our customers' challenges. With over 85 dedicated colleagues, we work from our office in the Netherlands and now are opening up and expanding in Germany.

Our DACH team already consists of 12+ colleagues across Sales, Support, Consulting, and Customer Success. Demand is growing fast, and so is our ambition. We are expanding our German presence and strengthening our local teams and that means hiring great people at pace.

As our first Germany-focused Recruiter, you’ll play a key role in driving our growth on the ground. You’ll help build the teams that shape Shiftbase’s future in Germany.

What you’ll do

• Own full-cycle recruitment for all German-based roles

• Partner with hiring managers to define job profiles and structured interview processes

• Proactively source and engage top talent (active and passive candidates)

• Conduct structured, inclusive interviews with a strong quality focus

• Set and monitor recruitment KPIs and report insights to leadership

• Build and strengthen Shiftbase’s employer brand in Germany

• Continuously improve recruitment workflows and candidate experience

What you bring

• 3–5+ years of recruitment experience, ideally in SaaS or tech

• Experience hiring commercial roles (Sales, Customer Success) is a strong plus

• Solid knowledge of the German labor market

• Strong sourcing capabilities and creative talent strategies

• Data-driven mindset

• Excellent communication skills in German (native level) and professional English.

• Structured, proactive and confident in stakeholder management

This role is probably great for you if

✅ You get energy from hiring at pace and juggling multiple roles at once (especially in Sales, Customer Success, and Go-to-Market teams)

✅ You enjoy building structure while executing, improving templates, tightening processes, and making hiring managers better interviewers along the way.

✅ You’re excited about being the go-to recruiter for Germany, with real ownership and visibility.

✅ You want to work in a company where decisions are made fast, feedback is direct, and impact is visible.

This role might not be for you if…

⛔️ You only enjoy strategy conversations but don’t love sourcing and actively approaching candidates yourself.

⛔️ You’re looking for a pure employer branding or talent marketing role (this is hands-on execution first).

⛔️ You prefer highly structured corporate environments where every process already exists and rarely changes.

• Competitive salary based on experience

• Full-time or part-time (32+ hours) contract

• 25 vacation days (based on full-time)

• Pension contribution

• Hybrid working model

• International and collaborative work environment

• Annual training budget and personal growth opportunities
