Talent Acquisition Manager (all genders)
Our mission
Your mission
How your day-to-day will look like:
- Full-Cycle Recruiting: You run searches across all functions, from software engineers and security specialists to sales, partnerships and senior leadership hires. You stay in charge from intake to signed contract.
- Active Sourcing & Headhunting: You don’t wait for applications. You map talent markets, build long-term pipelines and personally reach out to the hard-to-find profiles who aren’t looking yet.
- Build the Recruiting Engine: You design and improve how we hire, including structured interview loops, scorecards, candidate communication and our setup in Personio. This lets us hire faster and more fairly at the same time.
- Hiring Manager Partnership: You work as a sparring partner to our founders and team leads. You sharpen role profiles, coach interviewers and challenge decisions when the data or your gut says otherwise.
- Data-Driven Hiring: You track funnel metrics like time-to-hire, conversion rates and source quality, and you use them to plan capacity and show leadership where we stand.
- Candidate Experience: You make sure every candidate, hired or not, leaves with a good impression of revel8.
Is it you we are looking for?
- bring several years of hands-on recruiting experience, ideally in a fast-growing startup, scale-up or agency, with a track record across both technical and non-technical roles.
- are a strong sourcer: you know how to find, approach and convince passive candidates, and you enjoy the hunt.
- have built or significantly improved recruiting processes before: you didn’t just follow a playbook, you shaped one.
- can hold your own with hiring managers: you challenge role profiles and push back with arguments, and you earn trust through results.
- think in numbers: you use data to prioritize, forecast and improve, not just to report.
- care about candidate experience and inclusive hiring, and you know how to reduce bias in interviews and job ads.
- are AI-native and tool-fluent: you use AI tools and automation to work more efficient, and you’re comfortable in an ATS (Personio is a plus) as well as Notion, Slack and Google Workspace.
- thrive with ownership in a fast-paced environment and prioritize done over perfect.
- are fluent in English.
- Experience recruiting in cybersecurity, B2B SaaS or deep-tech.
- Experience scaling a team through a high-growth phase, e.g. Seed to Series A/B.
- Experience with employer branding campaigns or talent communities.
- German language skills.

About us
revel8 is building the next generation of cybersecurity awareness for the age of GenAI. We help organizations protect themselves against modern social engineering attacks by turning their employees into an active line of defense.
It's been a fast ride so far: Founded in August 2024 by Tom and Julius, we moved to the Merantix Campus in Berlin and welcomed Robert as our CTO and co-founder shortly after. We landed our first enterprise customer in March 2025, raised our €5.1M seed round in September 2025, and moved the whole team back to Munich in February 2026. Today, we are around 40 revels working side by side in our new office every day.
Early days. Big mission. Come build it with us!
