About Cortea
We're Cortea, a Berlin startup transforming audits with AI. Manual, document-heavy audits waste expert time while demand keeps rising. Our AI-powered software and specialized AI agents remove the repetitive work so auditors can focus on judgment. Backed by top-tier VCs with >15m funding, with a working product and paying customers, we're rapidly scaling.
The Role
You build talent foundations. You'll design a process that brings in exceptional talent across Tech and Non-Tech, and build a culture we're proud of.
What You'll Do
- Own Talent end to end: job design, scope, JD, sourcing, structured interviews, offer, close
- Build a Talent Engine: attract great people proactively, both inbound and outbound
- Raise the hiring bar: scorecards, trained interviewers, consistent candidate experience
- Shape our brand for Tech/AI talent with content, events, and a strong referral loop
- Be culture-positive: partner with founders on rituals, onboarding handover, and feedback loops
You'll Be Great at This If You
- Have 5+ years of TA in a fast environment (startup/scale-up or agency)
- Have hired top talent before and know the difference in how to assess them
- Communicate clearly, leverage our founding team, and make data driven decisions fast
- Can show early-stage track record you're proud of
- Think in systems and improve with data; bonus if you've built employer branding for engineers/AI
How We Work
We value kindness, candor, and execution. We're fully in-office in Berlin because we like building side by side. We hire with structured interviews and clear scorecards to reduce bias.
What We Offer
- High impact from day one and a path to Head of Talent/People as we grow
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
- In-office energy, shared lunches, whiteboard time, fast decisions
- Uncapped growth: budget for tools, learning, and events you choose
