(Tech) Recruiter (m/f/d)
About Ivy
Ivy is building the world’s first programmable bank. We know the bank of the future is going to be fully regulated and stablecoin-native. We believe that the crypto folks are too afraid of full bank charters, while the bank folks know too little about crypto to pull it off. We believe there’s a trillion-dollar opportunity to launch regulated banks built on the blockchain.
Today, we bank the world’s leading crypto platforms (Kraken). Tomorrow, our platform will power global correspondent banking. And who's going to bank all these AI agents? We are certain that if we get this right, Ivy is going to be Europe’s first $1T company.
We are a team of ex-founders, early employees at unicorns, and top-tier talent from fintech and banking and we are backed by the world’s best fintech investors:
Valar - Peter Thiel and the Valar team have been thinking about global money since PayPal times.
Creandum - Previously invested in fintechs like Klarna, Trade Republic, Pleo, iZettle
10+ unicorn founders
Responsibilities
Build High Volume Pipelines: Recruiting is a volume game - and you play it daily. You generate and engage large numbers of candidates with zero dry days.
Source Everywhere: LinkedIn, GitHub, referrals, niche communities - you go where top talent lives. You’re proactive, creative, and constantly experimenting with new sourcing angles.
Engage, Push, Close: You follow up with discipline and urgency. You handle objections, overcome hesitation, and keep it moving. Your goal is simple: get the hire across the line.
Protect the Bar: Skills matter - culture matters more. You hold yourself and your hiring managers accountable for ambition, pace, values, and mindset. Only candidates who truly fit make it through.
Represent the Company Exceptionally: Your communication is clear, sharp, and respectful. Even rejected candidates leave with a strong impression.

Communication: Exceptional English - precise, confident, persuasive. Additional languages like German,Polish, Ukrainian, Russian or Chinese are a strong advantage.

Intensity & Availability: Top candidates don’t operate on a 9–5 schedule - and neither do you. Early mornings, late nights, weekends when needed - you adapt to win the hire.
Speed & Bias for Action: You move fast and expect the same from others. Delays frustrate you; momentum excites you. You remove blockers, follow up immediately, and push processes forward relentlessly.
Persistence: Silence doesn’t stop you. You follow up thoughtfully, consistently, and repeatedly until you get a clear answer. You’re comfortable pushing - without being sloppy or unprofessional.
