About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a global technology organisation to hire a Talent Attraction Partner to join their high-performing Sales Recruiting team in Dublin.

This role is ideal for a recruiter or sourcer who thrives on finding exceptional sales talent, building strategic talent pipelines, and using market intelligence to influence hiring outcomes. You'll work closely with recruiters and hiring leaders to identify, engage, and attract top sales professionals across the DACH region and wider EMEA market.

The Role

As a Talent Attraction Partner, you will play a critical role in supporting sales hiring across a variety of functions and seniority levels, from SMB and Mid-Market through to Enterprise Sales talent.

Key Responsibilities

Talent Sourcing & Engagement

  • Identify, source, engage, and assess high-calibre sales professionals across EMEA, with a particular focus on the DACH market.
  • Build and maintain robust talent pipelines through LinkedIn, referrals, market research, networking, and direct outreach.
  • Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to deliver high-quality candidate shortlists.
  • Drive proactive sourcing strategies for both high-volume and strategic sales hiring initiatives.

Market Intelligence & Talent Insights

  • Perform competitor mapping, talent benchmarking, and market research.
  • Monitor talent movement, hiring trends, compensation data, and competitor activity.
  • Provide actionable market insights that influence hiring decisions and workforce planning.

Data & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate sourcing and pipeline data within CRM and ATS systems.
  • Utilise tools such as LinkedIn Talent Insights, Excel, Tableau, and reporting dashboards.
  • Measure sourcing effectiveness through pipeline analytics and conversion metrics.

Employer Branding & Talent Activations

  • Support recruitment campaigns, events, talent communities, and employer branding initiatives.
  • Track campaign effectiveness, engagement metrics, and pipeline generation activities.
  • Help elevate the candidate experience and employer value proposition.

Who We're Looking For

Ideal Background

  • Typically 5–8 years' experience within talent sourcing, talent attraction, recruitment, or talent intelligence.
  • Previous experience hiring within the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) is essential. 
  • Experience recruiting for sales roles is highly desirable, particularly within technology, SaaS, software, or similarly fast-paced industries.
  • Fluent German is advantageous, though strong DACH recruitment experience will also be considered.
  • Comfortable working in a highly proactive sourcing environment.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Talent Insights, ATS/CRM systems, Excel, and reporting tools.

The Successful Person

You are:

  • A natural talent hunter who enjoys identifying and engaging passive candidates.
  • Resilient, self-motivated, and comfortable working challenging talent markets.
  • Curious about sales organisations and able to understand how sales talent aligns to different business segments.
  • Data-driven, analytical, and capable of turning market intelligence into actionable insights.
  • Adaptable and excited by a sourcing-focused role rather than a traditional full-lifecycle recruiting position.
