About this job
<p><strong>For Freelance/Contractor Applicants based in the EU</strong></p>
<p>It is 2026 and recruiting still feels like a black box. There are enough candidates, enough recruiters and enough interviews happening. Yet companies still struggle to find and hire A-players. The result? Frustration, wrong hires, candidates treated like numbers.</p>
<p>Eleva Search is a boutique staffing agency founded by me, Cristina — built on the belief that great recruiting combines structured, data driven thinking with human connection. Exceptional hiring is about precision and strategy: understanding what a client truly needs and finding the gem hidden inside the noise.</p>
<p>I work with clients across Germany and Europe, and I'm looking for a motivated colleague to join me in placing mostly technical, and sometimes commercial, roles.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<ul>
<li>Identify and attract top-tier candidates through LinkedIn, AI-powered sourcing, and market research</li>
<li>Understand what truly drives candidates, their ambitions, motivations, goals, and non-negotiables</li>
<li>Reach out with personalized messages that earns the candidate´s attention</li>
<li>Build strategic sourcing reports that give clients real market transparency and clear hiring direction</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p>Your A player qualities:</p>
<ul>
<li>You take ownership, challenging searches don't intimidate you</li>
<li>2-3 years of experience in sourcing, ideally for technical or engineering roles</li>
<li>Organized, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities</li>
<li>Fluent in German (C1 or above) and English, with the confidence to engage candidates from junior to C-level</li>
<li>Active sourcing is your strength, you know how to identify, approach, and engage top talent others overlook</li>
<li>Curious and always learning, you thrive in startup environments where your ideas and initiative shape outcomes</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Work from anywhere. Home office, coworking space or at the beach — what matters is the work you deliver, and how you get there is yours to decide</li>
<li>Competitive compensation paired with a performance bonus designed around your actual contribution and what matters to you</li>
<li>Flexibility to structure your days around your life, your energy, your priorities</li>
<li>Operate in a quality-driven environment where recruiting is valued as the strategic function it is, with the depth, intentionality, and business impact it deserves</li>
</ul>
<p>What makes Eleva Search different:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most recruiters operate on assumptions. We operate on data. We use market insights, talent mapping, and hiring analytics to understand where the real A-players are</li>
<li>We believe in precision over volume, laser focused on identifying and attracting high performing candidates who fit the business</li>
<li>We look past CV keywords to assess ambition, motivation, and long term alignment</li>
<li>We have skin in the game. We work with a limited number of clients so we can move fast, and deliver with the care and quality that volume players can't</li>
