Talent Acquisition Manager - GTM & Supporting Functions
Our Mission
Money sitting idle is money lost. We're fixing that.
Founded in 2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko gives businesses, non-profits, financial advisers, and fintechs access to institutional-grade cash management, via app or API. We are building the full infrastructure: issuing, operating, and distributing the products ourselves.
Two years after launch, we serve thousands of organizations across Europe and process hundreds of millions of euros in flows every month. Netherlands is one of our priority markets for the next phase of growth.
Our ambition: become the world's leading treasury management infrastructure in a market worth trillions.
We are backed by Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.
Spiko runs on excellence, transparency, and straight talk.
The role: Talent Acquisition Manager
As our Talent Acquisition Manager, you'll own hiring across the business, partnering closely with all our functions as we scale. Reporting to the Head of People & Talent, you'll act as a true headhunter, not just a process manager, going out and finding the talent that will define Spiko's next stage of growth. Success looks like building a sourcing engine and candidate experience strong enough to consistently win top talent across engineering, product, and beyond in a competitive market.
Key Responsibilities
Sourcing & Headhunting
Proactively source and approach passive candidates across the business
Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline ahead of need, not just reactively to open roles
Bring real headhunting rigor: market mapping, targeted outreach, and a sharp read on what makes candidates move
Hiring Process & Candidate Experience
Own the full-cycle recruitment process from calibration with hiring managers to offer
Design and run structured, fast-moving interview processes that reflect Spiko's pace and standards
Ensure every candidate, hired or not, has an excellent experience with Spiko
Partnering with Hiring Managers & Founders
Run tight calibration loops with hiring managers and founders on job descriptions, scorecards, and candidate profiles
Provide market insights (comp benchmarks, talent pool sizing, sourcing strategy) to inform hiring decisions
Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, not just an order-taker
Process & Continuous Improvement
Track and report on pipeline health, time-to-hire, and sourcing channel performance
Identify bottlenecks and suggest concrete improvements to how Spiko hires
Help build scalable Talent Acquisition processes and tools as the company grows

Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous, early-stage startup environment
Strong stakeholder management skills, able to challenge and align hiring managers and founders

High ownership mindset and bias for action
Nice to have:
Experience in a top-tier, high-growth startup or scale-up
Experience hiring in fintech
