Founding Recruiter (m/f/x) - Münster or Munich (m/w/d)
About this role
Invest in Values. Produce in Freedom. Boost Europe.
Behind every megawatt hour our clients save, there are people who make it happen. RIZM helps Europe's largest industrial companies – together around 2% of Europe's total energy demand – make their energy decisions with AI. Our agent RIZMO works as a digital colleague. But the most important colleagues are the ones we haven't found yet.
That's where you come in: you work directly within our recruiting team and help build it from the ground up, hand in hand with us – not as application admin, but as a growth engine. Who we hire today shapes who RIZM is tomorrow.
Tasks
Build tomorrow's team: You work directly within the team, design our recruiting structure together with us – roles, workflows, tools – and later bring more recruiters and sourcers on board yourself.
Find the right people: Track down engineers, energy experts and product people via LinkedIn, Juicebox, universities, communities and your own network.
Win people over: Lead first conversations, tell our story convincingly and make sure every candidate feels well looked after – even when it's a no.
Make processes smart: Automate sequences, screening and reporting with AI instead of maintaining spreadsheets.
Steer by numbers: Always know where the funnel gets stuck – and turn the right dials.
Get us seen: Shape how RIZM is perceived as an employer – careers page, job ads, events, university partnerships.
Requirements
- Background: Degree in psychology, business, HR management, social sciences or something comparable – or a path that prepared you just as well.
- Experience: You've worked in recruiting or talent acquisition, ideally in startups or tech, and know how to approach technical profiles.
- People sense: You spot potential even when it's not on the CV, and you can talk to engineers as equals.
- Tech affinity: You try out new tools, build your own workflows a
