๐ŸŽฏ Your Mission

At Joko, we believe talent is our most valuable asset. With an ambitious plan to hire 60+ talents in the coming year and a strong international growth strategy, we are looking for a Talent Acquisition Manager to lead our hiring efforts, with a strong focus on Spain.

You will play a key role in building high-performing teams while structuring and continuously improving our recruitment practices. You will report directly to the VP People and act as a strategic partner to hiring managers.

๐Ÿš€ What You Will Do

Strategic recruitment & talent attraction

  • Develop strong knowledge of the Spanish start-up and scale-up ecosystem (especially Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, etc.).

  • Identify and activate the most relevant local sourcing channels (job boards, communities, universities, events).

  • Own and optimize the full recruitment process using Ashby (ATS), ensuring efficiency, quality, and compliance.

  • Build and manage partnerships with recruitment agencies, universities, and key ecosystem players in Spain.

Candidate experience & employer branding

  • Design and deliver an engaging and high-quality candidate experience, aligned with Joko's culture and adapted to the Spanish market.

  • Establish feedback loops to continuously improve hiring effectiveness and quality.

Process & tools optimization

  • Build and improve recruitment processes, including scorecards, interview grids, and reporting.

  • Lead recruitment-related projects (ATS optimization, process standardization, data tracking).

  • Collaborate closely with People teams (People Ops, HRBP) on:

    • Spanish salary benchmarking

    • Local employment practices

    • Onboarding strategies for talents based in Spain

๐Ÿ‘€ Who We're Looking For

  • 3 to 6 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, primarily in start-up and/or scale-up environments.

  • Proven experience recruiting for the Spanish market.

  • Experience owning end-to-end recruitment processes (not limited to sourcing and interviews).

  • Hands-on experience building or improving recruitment processes and tools (ATS, scorecards, hiring metrics).

  • Data-driven mindset, with experience tracking and analyzing recruitment KPIs.

  • Highly structured, organized, and detail-oriented.

  • Comfortable in fast-growing, ambiguous environments.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong interest in people-related topics.

  3. Step 2 - Role-specific assessments

    • For non-tech roles: Take-home case study followed by a 45 min interview. We assess both your output and how you think in real time. The exercise will be relevant to the role (e.g. analysis, strategy, or process design).

    • For tech roles: Live technical interviews:

      • Coding interview + System design interview

      • For research internships, an additional round may involve analyzing and presenting a research paper
