OUR PURPOSE AT PLANCRAFT

Building the backbone of European trades together – with AI and voice-first software.
We’re not just building software – we’re on a mission to create space for contractors & tradespeople by equipping them with AI solutions that work the way they do: fast, practical, and voice-first. With Tier 1 Investors from Europe and the US, like Headline and Creandum as well as 20,000+ tradespeople as customer base, we’re scaling across Europe to turn scattered tradespeople into thriving communities. We believe in zero admin, not zero personality – and we build every feature with the people in mind who wear the boots, not the suits. We’re #stoked to shape the future, #together as a team, and #humble in our mission to support the builders of tomorrow.

YOUR MISSION AT PLANCRAFT

You’ve already spent several years driving Talent Acquisition in a startup or scaleup environment and are now eager to take the next step: building a future-proof TA function that acts as a strategic enabler for our business.
At plancraft, you’ll help us scale to 150+ employees and expand into new European markets—by combining hands-on recruiting with a data-driven, process-oriented, and AI-enabled approach. On the one hand, you’ll lead end-to-end recruiting for 5–8 roles at a time. On the other, you’ll drive Hiring Operations Excellence by building and refining processes, tooling, and workflows, while also enabling our international growth through market-specific recruiting strategies, talent mapping, and inclusive hiring practices. You’ll work closely with our Head of People & Organization and the TA team, bringing your expertise into daily recruiting while also developing as a driver of operational excellence and international scale.

• Lead end-to-end recruiting for 5–8 roles at a time across all functions and levels.
• Shape and optimize TA operations by co-creating scalable, data- and AI-enabled processes and workflows that make recruiting efficient, consistent, and impactful.
• Champion candidate experience by ensuring every interaction is high-quality, personal, and inclusive—turning it into a true differentiator for plancraft.
• Build and implement new workflows and tools by designing and rolling out (AI-driven) processes, testing emerging technologies, and integrating them seamlessly into our TA stack.
• Ensure ATS data accuracy and quality by providing structured documentation in Personio, maintaining clean data flows, and enableing reliable reporting and insights.
• Track and analyze recruiting KPIs, translate insights into action, and collaborate with the Head of P&O on continuous, data-driven improvements.
• Drive international growth by adapting recruiting processes to new markets, designing market-specific sourcing strategies, conducting talent mapping, and building diverse pipelines across Europe.
• Stay ahead of TA trends by exploring, testing, and implementing new approaches while keeping up to date with industry best practices.
• Act as a strategic sparring partner and close collaborator with your TA team members and hiring managers, sharing expertise and best practices, and raising the bar for how we hire.

WHY PLANCRAFT?

• Team Spirit: We’re driven by passion, commitment, and a shared mission. Team spirit matters to us — and we make it visible: with three major team events per year, two casual monthly formats at our Hamburg HQ, and a strong recognition culture where we regularly celebrate both the big and small wins together.
• Ownership: You’re encouraged to take ownership from day one. In a flat hierarchy and high-trust environment, you’re empowered to make meaningful decisions and drive real impact.
• Learning & Growth: We invest in your personal and professional development through a strong feedback culture, a personal learning budget, and targeted enablement formats. Our goal is to help you unlock your full potential.
• AI Enablement: Our internal tools and workflows are AI-enabled by design. We support every team and individual in applying AI at the next level in their daily work, including getting your own ChatGPT+ license, of course.
• Tech & Tooling: You’ll receive a MacBook, premium over-ear headphones, and everything else you need — from hardware to tools — to be effective in your daily doing.
• Flexibility: Whether remote, hybrid, or on-site — you work where you’re at your best. Our Hamburg office at Rödingsmarkt (with a rooftop terrace) is always open, and you decide each week how often you come in. Some roles even allow for fully remote setups. And if you need a change of scenery, working abroad is always an option.
• Recharge: To ensure the needed rest, we offer 30 vacation days per year (based on a 5-day week) and Dec 24th off. We also subsidize your Urban Sports Club membership and organize internal sport meetups.
• Mobility: You can lease a "JobRad" (Bike) and get a subsidized "Deutschlandticket" or "BahnCard" for public transport to be supported in your commute.
• International Environment: We’re becoming more international every month, with team members already in Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Austria — which is why English is our internal company language.
