Head of Recruitment

Salary Competitive

Malmö Startups is looking for an Awesome Recruitment Specialist to help match talent and startups.


Our mission is to help build an inclusive and vibrant startup community in southern Sweden. We believe in paying it forward and helping each other; ideals which we live by and are committed to promoting.

So far, our main activities have been organising startup-related events, 40+ per year with the largest being Startup Live!, gathering almost 1000 people this past June, and connecting investors to startups, this year arranging over 60 such meetings to date.

Finding talent is one of the hardest and most important challenges for a startup and we now intend to add a recruitment arm to Malmö Startups.

That is why we need an Awesome Recruitment Specialist to design, build and run an entirely new part of Malmö Startups that will contribute to the community in southern Sweden by recruiting and matching talent for startups in the region.

This job will be a great opportunity for someone with:

- 3-5 years experience in professional recruitment

- An entrepreneurial approach

- Creative thinking about what does and does not work in the recruitment business today

The task is individual and demanding, set in an unstructured environment as a part of a small team of doers based at The Ground in central Malmö.

It is a great job for someone wishing to:

- Make a long lasting impact on startups in the region

- Build relationships with smart and passionate people and companies

- Get a fair (= not huge) salary and a generous vacation policy

The process:

We wish for the right person to start as soon as possible, which means we will be interviewing on a rolling basis until we find such an individual. It may take a long or short time, we’ll see!

How to apply:

Send your CV and cover letter to hello@malmostartups.com. In your cover letter, include some initial thoughts on how you would approach building a recruitment arm to Malmö Startups.
