Talent acquisition manager in robotics

We build humanoid systems: full stack, from hardware and electronics through software to manufacturing, all in-house in Berlin. At Cell Labs, we are pushing the boundaries of what robotics can do. Our goal is clear: to build systems that empower people rather than replace them. Our technology is already in use at leading industrial customers and partners. Now our own product is close to launch. The quiet phase is over. We are looking for people who want to join early, take responsibility, and build what others only talk about.

• You are responsible for our recruiting processes from the first outreach to the hire.
• You identify suitable talent, review incoming applications, conduct structured interviews, and coordinate the next steps.
• You ensure a professional, transparent, and appreciative candidate experience, even when application volumes are high.
• You work closely with our founders and departments, define requirements, create suitable job advertisements, and coordinate hiring timelines.
• You advise on recruiting strategies, market conditions, and selection decisions.
• You guide candidates through the offer phase, prepare contract documents, and coordinate the process through to signing.
• You support onboarding and, as needed, take on organizational HR tasks as well as looking after candidates and visitors on site.
• You further develop efficient, scalable recruiting processes and use our ATS, automation, and AI-powered tools.
• You analyze metrics such as time to hire, pipeline conversion, and offer acceptance rate, keep hiring managers updated on progress, and derive improvements.
• Together with our marketing team, you strengthen Cell Labs as an employer brand, develop compelling recruiting content, and optimize our recruiting channels to attract suitable talent.
• You develop events and partnerships that connect us with suitable talent, from career fairs and university events to small events at our office.

• You have at least two years of experience independently managing end-to-end recruiting, ideally in a fast-paced startup, scale-up, or international, technology-driven environment.
• You can manage several recruiting processes in parallel and keep track of everything even when application volumes are high.
• You are interested in complex technologies and ideally have already recruited for technical roles in software, engineering, hardware, or other tech fields.
• You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be curious enough to truly understand technical requirements.
• You conduct structured, competency-based interviews, can assess candidates thoroughly, and give hiring managers clear recommendations.
• You communicate confidently, constructively challenge requirements, and bring different perspectives together.
• You are confident using modern recruiting tools and ATS systems, know the relevant recruiting KPIs, and enjoy trying out new technologies and AI-powered solutions to make recruiting more efficient and effective.
• You work in a structured, independent, and pragmatic way, take responsibility, and find straightforward solutions even when priorities change.
• You are empathetic and people-oriented, and pitch in with tasks outside your specific area of responsibility.
• You are fluent in German and English.

• You actively help build recruiting at a growing deep-tech company.
• You work directly with the founders and departments, develop processes further, and see the impact your work has on our growth.
• The office, workshop, and test rigs are in the same building in Kreuzberg. If you want to better understand a technical profile or see what our engineers are working on, they are just a few steps away, not a ticket away.
• Paid learning time with a personal budget for courses, recruiting conferences, and the tools you need.
• You have room to try new things and help build a team developing technology that almost nobody has seen before.
• A benefits package that you can put together yourself and that covers mobility, health, nutrition, or fitness.
• You also get an additional paid day off each year for volunteering or a project close to your heart.
