Why this role matters

At JOIN, we believe hiring should be easy, fast and fair, for companies and candidates alike.

That's why we're building intuitive, powerful recruiting software that helps businesses of all sizes find the right people effortlessly.

As our Commercial Recruiter in Berlin, you'll play a central role in growing JOIN's go-to-market and operations organisation. You'll drive full-cycle recruiting for Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Operations teams, ensuring we hire exceptional talent that supports our ambitious growth goals. This is not just a sourcing role, it's an opportunity to build partnerships with hiring managers, shape the candidate experience, and directly influence JOIN's commercial success.

What you will be doing

Your work will directly impact how JOIN attracts and hires top talent. Here's what that looks like:

• Manage end-to-end recruitment for commercial roles (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations)
• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand business needs and hiring priorities
• Build and nurture diverse talent pipelines through active sourcing and networking
• Conduct structured interviews and evaluate candidates for both skills and culture fit
• Ensure an outstanding candidate experience from first contact to contract signature
• Support all stages of the employee journey (onboarding, development, retention, etc.) ensuring a seamless, positive experience for every JOINer
• Maintain and optimise our HRIS and internal recruiting systems (surveys, review cycles, comms tools), ensuring employee data is accurate, updated and organised

Who you will work with

You'll be part of JOIN's People Team, collaborating daily with hiring managers across our Commercial Organisation.

You'll also work closely with the Finance, People, Operations and Leadership teams to ensure a seamless, high-quality recruitment experience for every candidate and stakeholder.

What we are looking for

We don't believe in rigid checklists, but if most of these apply to you, we'd love to talk:

• 3–4 years of full-cycle recruiting experience (in-house or agency)
• Proven experience hiring for commercial roles in B2B or SaaS environments
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Skilled in sourcing through LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search and creative outreach
• Comfortable managing multiple roles and priorities in parallel
• High attention to detail, organisation and a proactive approach to problem-solving
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to report and optimise based on insights
• Bonus: Experience hiring in multiple EU markets
• Bonus: Background in SaaS, HR Tech, or fast-scaling startups

Our Values

People First – We put humans at the heart of hiring.

Own It – We take initiative and solve problems independently.

• We continuously challenge ourselves and each other to improve

This role might not be ideal if

• You prefer a highly structured environment
• You want a fully remote position
• You prefer a slower-paced role with minimal change
• You are not comfortable with direct ownership and cross-functional collaboration

What's in it for you
