Talent Acquisition Team Lead

We are building a strong in-house recruitment function and are looking for a TA Lead who will take full ownership of the recruitment strategy, team, and results.
This is a high-impact leadership role for those who thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments and are ready to drive business growth through top-tier talent.

You will not “coordinate” recruitment — you will own it end-to-end:

Requirements

• 4+ years of recruitment experience.
• 1.5+ years in a leadership / lead role.
• Strong background in FinTech, Payments, Product or iGaming.
• Proven experience in international hiring.
• Experience scaling recruitment during business growth.
• High autonomy, leadership, and system thinking.
• Ability to work under high pressure and strict deadlines.

• Fluent English.

   

Responsibilities

• Build and lead the in-house recruitment team (hire and onboard senior recruiters).
• Personally close Head and key strategic positions.
• Transition recruitment from agencies to 95%+ in-house.
• Own recruitment SLA, quality, speed, and hiring effectiveness.
• Fully rebuild recruitment processes, analytics, and candidate evaluation inside PeopleForce.
• Control recruitment funnels, pipelines, and hiring metrics.
• Select, onboard, and manage recruitment agencies when needed.
• Set up and enforce hiring standards, cultural fit evaluation, and soft skills assessment.
• Partner closely with HRD, CEO, COO, and Hiring Managers.

• Perform continuous salary market audits and hiring strategy adjustments.

   

Nice to have

• Experience building recruitment functions from scratch.
• Deep expertise in executive / head-hires.

• Experience working in fast-growing product companies.

   

Working conditions

• Remote (Ukraine / Europe / compatible time zones).
• High flexibility — high responsibility.

• Fast decision-making and short approval chains.

   

Who Will Thrive in This Role

• You take full ownership, not just execute tasks.
• You are results-driven, not process-driven.
• You make decisions fast and take responsibility for outcomes.
• You are comfortable challenging Hiring Managers.
• You prefer intensity over comfort.
• You don’t need micromanagement.
