About TechTree

TechTree is a recruitment partner for ambitious companies - from fast-growing startups and scaleups like ElevenLabs to large enterprises, private equity firms and their portfolio companies, and VC funds. We pair expert human judgement with our own AI talent platform to build great teams, fast, across engineering, product, GTM, finance and executive search.

We are growing very quickly, and our research team sits at the core of delivery: the quality and speed of the candidates we put in front of a client is what wins or loses the search.

The Role

As a Talent Researcher you run the search side of live client roles. You agree with the client what "good" looks like, then direct our AI sourcing agents to cover the whole market for you - searching a knowledge graph of millions of profiles, scoring every candidate against the role and flagging who is most likely to move. Your job is to steer them: give them the right brief, check what comes back, and turn it into the right people in front of the client.

Less copy-pasting from LinkedIn, more judgement: understanding the role, reading the market and deciding where the best candidates are.

What You Will Do

1. Set up the scorecard with the client Join kick-off calls, ask the right questions and agree on the must-haves, nice-to-haves and deal-breakers. Turn them into a sourcing scorecard and a brief our AI agents can search on.

2. Calibrate the search Run AI-driven searches, review the first results and build a calibration list for the client. Use their feedback - and what the client accepts vs rejects - to sharpen the search until we hit the target.

3. Manage the ways we reach candidates Decide the best route to each candidate: our network of 1,000+ Talent Partners, the internal team, or automated email and LinkedIn campaigns. Build lead packs for Talent Partners and keep outreach quality high.

4. Check list quality and map the talent pool Review what the agents return before anything reaches a client, catch false positives and think about where the talent really sits - which companies, titles and markets we have not covered yet.

5. Support the Talent Strategists team Set up meetings with candidates, keep the pipeline moving and give our Talent Strategists what they need to close the role.

What We Are Looking For

We are open to a lot of different backgrounds. You will stand out with any of these:

Recruitment experience - even 1 year as a sourcer, researcher or recruiter (agency or in-house), or
Leadership in a student organization - you ran a team, a project or an event, or
Data analytics experience - you like working with data and spotting patterns, or
AI-native - you already use ChatGPT, Claude or similar tools every day and like automating the boring parts.

What we need from everyone:

Proactivity - you spot what needs doing and do it without being asked.
Willingness to work and learn - you are hungry, take feedback well and want to grow fast.
Fluent English - you work with international clients and candidates.

Being AI-native is a huge plus whatever your background.

Don't be afraid to apply if you don't meet all the criteria. We care more about how you think and how fast you learn than about ticking every box.

What We Offer

Work directly with clients from the first weeks.
Exposure to C-level - founders, CEOs, executives and investors at startups, enterprises, PE and VC firms.
A great, dynamic team that moves fast and helps each other.
Growth opportunities - we are growing very quickly, and this role is a launchpad into Talent Strategist, leading searches end-to-end or more scope in research and operations.
Weekly stand-ups, plenty of ownership and fully remote work across Europe.
