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 gained solid experience in Talent Acquisition and are now ready to take the next step: shaping a TA function that is both hands-on and future-ready.

At plancraft, you’ll help us grow to 150+ employees and expand into new European markets. You’ll combine end-to-end recruiting with building smart, scalable processes and experimenting with new tools (including AI) to make recruiting better every day.

You’ll work closely with our Head of People & Organization and the TA team — sometimes rolling up your sleeves to fill key roles, sometimes zooming out to make our hiring processes smoother and more impactful.


Your Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end recruiting for several roles across different functions and seniority levels.
• Ensure a great candidate experience by making every interaction personal, inclusive, and memorable.
• Shape and continuously optimize our hiring operations to be scalable, smart, and AI-enabled — without losing focus on candidate experience.
• Deliver insights on your roles to stakeholders and approach hiring with a strategic, data-driven mindset.
• Support our international growth with market-specific sourcing and talent mapping.
• Stay curious and bring in new ideas from the TA space — whether it’s new tech, new channels, or innovative approaches.
• Be a sparring partner for hiring managers and your TA teammates, sharing best practices and raising the bar together.

• Successful track record in filling roles of various seniorities and types.
• Profound experience in setting up smart TA processes and structures.
• Strong knowledge and passion for creating excellent candidate experiences and inclusive hiring practices.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

And most importantly: Don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. What matters most to us is your motivation and drive to grow with us. Especially when it comes to AI, you don’t need to be an expert already — it’s enough if you’re curious, open-minded, and excited to explore new tools.

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.
