Recruiter (Milan)

In breve

Eight Sleep is the world's first sleep‑fitness company, building advanced hardware, software and AI that turn every night into a data‑driven recovery experience. The firm serves high‑performers, athletes and health‑focused consumers in more than 30 countries and has been repeatedly recognized for innovation. The Recruiter role, based in Milan, will own end‑to‑end hiring for a global portfolio of critical positions, acting as an internal headhunter to keep pipelines full, processes fast and hiring standards high. Day‑to‑day, the recruiter will manage the full‑cycle hiring loop for diverse roles across multiple regions and legal frameworks. Responsibilities include proactively sourcing elite talent through LinkedIn and university partnerships, building live pipelines before roles open, and partnering closely with hiring managers to define role scopes, remove bottlenecks and run a sharp interview cadence. The recruiter will also assess candidates rigorously to maintain the company's talent bar, create and maintain metrics dashboards that track pipeline health, and continuously improve recruiting workflows in the ATS (Ashby) to make hiring faster and more scalable. The position requires 2–5 years of full‑cycle recruiting experience, preferably in a high‑growth startup, direct‑to‑consumer or technology environment. Candidates must have a proven record of sourcing and closing passive candidates and be adept at running effective LinkedIn outreach campaigns. Experience recruiting across multiple functions such as marketing, web and mobile, and across global regions is essential, as is the ability to quickly learn role nuances and excite candidates. Strong judgment of talent and cultural fit, stakeholder‑management skills, and fluency in English are mandatory. Familiarity with modern ATS tools, Ashby is a plus, and a metrics‑driven, organized approach to pipeline tracking are also required. Nice‑to‑have attributes include experience in high‑growth startup or D2C settings, and specific knowledge of the Ashby ATS. The role offers a fast‑paced, high‑intensity environment where 60‑plus hour weeks are common, but it also promises immediate responsibility, accelerated career growth, equity participation and the chance to work alongside world‑class talent on cutting‑edge sleep‑fitness technology. What the role asks for: - 2–5 years full‑cycle recruiting experience - Proven track record sourcing and closing passive candidates - Ability to run effective LinkedIn outreach campaigns - Recruiting experience across multiple functions and global regions - Strong talent and culture‑fit judgment - Stakeholder‑management skills with hiring managers - Fluent English communication - Experience with modern ATS tools (Ashby a plus)
