About the role

Topline Advisory is an AI-native executive search firm. Our clients are VC and PE backed growth companies, digital platforms and AI start-ups. They all have the same problem - they need to hire faster than their own teams can source. So we place our own talent acquisition people inside them. You go in for two months, three months, drive their entire candidate pipeline for sales and go-to-market roles, and move on to the next one.

Aufgaben

Own the full candidate pipeline for a client's sales and go-to-market hires: sourcing, first outreach, screening, qualification, handover to the hiring team — you are embedded in their process, not selling them a shortlist from outside

Build and run the search: define the profile with the hiring manager, map the market, and keep enough qualified candidates moving that the funnel never runs dry

Run structured first interviews that actually assess, using our scorecard and competency frameworks

Work the AI stack: sourcing, filtering, enrichment and outreach at a volume a classic recruiter cannot match

Give the client a clean weekly read on pipeline, conversion and where the search is stuck

Switch context every few months into a new company, a new business model and a new market

Qualifikation

2+ years in recruiting, sourcing, or a high-volume sales role — what matters is output and structure, not a recruiting CV

You can talk to commercial people credibly: you understand what a good AE, Sales Lead or CRO actually looks like

Fast on tools and curious about AI, rather than attached to how recruiting was done in 2019

Comfortable dropping into a new company and being useful in week oneGerman and English at professional level

Benefits

Training to a standard you will not get anywhere else: our sourcing playbooks, interview frameworks and scorecard methodology, plus full access to our AI tooling

Exposure to a new business model every few months — PE portfolio companies, AI startups, digital platforms — and the network that comes with it

Real flexibility: project-based engagements, the option to take a break between clients, immediate start possible

No cold headhunting under someone else's brand — you sit inside the company and own the outcome

Direct line to the Topline partners, not a layer of account managers
