🖍️ This role

The Talent Acquisition Partner is a hands‑on, high‑impact builder who helps drive Partly’s next major growth chapter — scaling our team from around 100 to 500 to 1200 + people globally.

You’ll play a central role in turning ambitious headcount goals into real hiring outcomes, working directly with leaders and hiring managers to find, attract, and hire exceptional talent across your region. This is a craft‑focused recruiting role for someone who cares deeply about both quality and speed — who thrives in fast growth, brings structure to ambiguity, and ensures every hire strengthens the culture and raises the bar.

You’ll own end‑to‑end processes, build trusted partnerships, and contribute to the systems and talent infrastructure that make growth sustainable. Beyond day‑to‑day hiring, you’ll help design how recruiting scales: improving tools, workflows, and capability across the business so we can move fast without ever compromising on quality.

This is an opportunity to be part of building the most ambitious high‑performing teams in the world and have a real impact.

• Run structured, high‑quality processes – drive clear timelines, set expectations, and deliver an outstanding candidate experience at every stage.

• Build strong candidate relationships by maintaining open, transparent, and responsive communication throughout the hiring journey.

• Champion employer branding – amplify Partly’s values, culture, and mission in the market through authentic storytelling and community engagement.

• Represent Partly externally at local events and within talent communities, promoting our brand and deepening candidate connections.

• Collaborate with the global Talent team to share insights, align systems, and drive improvements across our recruiting operations.

🥷 Your skills
