Talent Acquisition Partner (6 month Fixed Term Contract) (all genders)

• End-to-end recruitment: take ownership of the entire recruitment journey in different areas (tech and non-tech), from initial strategy briefing with stakeholders and candidate interview screening through to complex offer negotiations and closing.
• Direct sourcing expertise: build innovative strategies to proactively identify, attract, and engage top talent using a variety of channels, with a strong emphasis on direct sourcing through LinkedIn. You'll craft compelling outreach messages and build robust talent pipelines.

• Champion candidate experience: ensure every candidate interaction is positive and reflective of Zalando's employer brand and identify opportunities to improve this even further.

• You're a seasoned recruiter: you bring solid experience leading end-to-end hiring processes in the tech and/or non-tech space. From shaping hiring strategies to closing offers, you know how to deliver.
• You know the Talent Market inside out: you understand a wide range of roles' scopes, skill sets, and market trends, and use that insight to guide hiring decisions and engage the right talent for our roles.
• Sourcing powerhouse: you're not just waiting for candidates to come to you - you consistently hire top talent through targeted outreach, especially via platforms like LinkedIn.
• You build strong partnerships: you've built trusted, effective relationships with hiring managers, interviewers, HRBPs, and cross-functional teams and know how to keep everyone aligned and informed.
• You own it: you're proactive, solutions-oriented, and thrive in fast-changing environments. You take initiative, operate with a high level of professionalism, and get things done without being asked twice.
