Talent Acquisition Specialist (12 months FTC)

Brief info about Vinted

Our mission is to make second-hand the first choice, and we're looking for people who want to help us get there. Every day, we work together to help our members buy and sell pre-loved clothing and lifestyle items, giving each piece a second life – or even a third.

The Vinted Group is made up of three business units that support this mission:

Vinted Marketplace is Europe’s leading platform for second-hand fashion and a go-to destination for all kinds of pre-loved items, with a growing range of categories. Our platform connects millions of members across 20+ markets, helping great items find a new life.

Vinted Go enhances the shipping experience with a vast network of over 500,000 pick-up and drop-off points, partnering with more than 60 carriers across Europe, with added services like item verification for peace of mind on high-value pieces.

Vinted Pay is the newest part of the Vinted Group, dedicated to bringing secure, reliable payments to buyers and sellers across Europe. Seamlessly integrated into the Vinted app, it helps keep every transaction safe, efficient, and easy for our members.

Founded in 2008 in Lithuania, Vinted began as a way for friends to find new homes for clothes they no longer needed. In 2019, we became Lithuania's first unicorn! Today, our headquarters remain in Vilnius, and we've grown with offices across Europe, supported by a team of over 2,000 people.

As we grow the organisation, hiring the best people becomes one of our main priorities. To be able to successfully do that, we need to keep evolving: adjusting and improving our hiring processes, ensuring quality in everything that we do and creating new ways of working. This is why the successful performance of our Talent Acquisition (TA) team is highly important.

As a Senior TA Specialist, you will contribute to reaching the team’s main goal: attracting and employing the right talent for Vinted, while ensuring a great candidate experience. You will do this by applying your strong hiring competencies, effectively partnering with your Hiring Managers, leveraging innovative approaches, implementing best hiring practices, and collaborating with other teams on various projects.

You’ll support either our Group & Marketplace business units, covering Community Support, Marketing, Finance, Legal and People, or our Vinted Pay & VintedGo business units, covering AML/Compliance, Business & Commercial and Logistics, with your focus shifting based on business needs.

If you're excited to contribute to our team's efforts in supporting our organisation's growth, we would love to meet you.
