Starbridge is seeking a Technical Recruiter based in EMEA to help us identify, qualify, and engage world-class talent. As one of our first recruiters outside the U.S., you will play a critical role in shaping our global hiring strategy and ensuring a strong candidate experience across regions and functions.
You will partner with hiring managers to source, screen, and assess candidates across technical and go-to-market roles, and in some cases drive candidates through later-stage interviews. Your work will directly impact our ability to scale with top-tier talent in a competitive market.
If you are energized by fast-paced environments, have a keen eye for technical aptitude, and thrive in high-ownership roles, we’d love to meet you.
Responsibilities & Impact
- Own candidate screening & qualification: Conduct resume reviews and interviews to assess skills, experience, and culture fit across technical EMEA-based roles. 
- Partner with hiring managers: Collaborate with R&D leadership to define role requirements, interview processes, and success profiles. 
- Drive candidate pipeline in EMEA: Manage inbound applications, referrals, and sourced candidates to ensure steady funnel progression. 
- Support later-stage interviews: Where needed, conduct deeper evaluations (technical or competency-based) to accelerate decision-making. 
- Ensure a world-class candidate experience: Communicate clearly, provide timely feedback, and represent Starbridge’s brand and mission authentically. 
- Streamline recruiting operations: Help implement best practices around tools, workflows, and reporting to improve efficiency. 
- Act as a trusted advisor: Provide market insights on compensation, candidate availability, and recruiting best practices in the EMEA region.
