Job Description

Talent Acquisition Specialist (m/f/d)

Dornbirn, Austria

SpotLIGHT of the job

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll take a key role in strategically evolving how we attract and engage top talent. You’ll work closely with business leaders, HR Business Partners and top management, bringing a holistic view to recruiting and pushing boundaries with fresh ideas. KPIs and data-driven decisions guide your work – just like your passion for new tools and AI-powered solutions.
We’re looking for someone who not only excels in their role today, but is eager to grow further – ready to take the next step in their career and shape the future with us.

Responsibilities

You manage the entire recruitment process – from initial requirements to closing the position in alignment with the HR BP team.
With targeted and creative strategies, you attract top professionals and leadership talent.
As a strategic sparring partner, you collaborate closely with stakeholders and decision-makers across all levels.
You analyze relevant KPIs, derive actionable measures and continuously improve our processes.
Modern tools, platforms, and AI-powered technologies are part of your daily toolkit for sourcing and engagement.
You actively contribute to employer branding projects and enhance Zumtobel Group’s visibility as an attractive employer.
You stay ahead of market trends, spot new developments early, and integrate innovative approaches into our recruiting strategy.

Skills & Experience

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all the requirements.
Your motivation and potential matter more than perfection.

You have minimum 3 years of hands-on recruiting experience – whether from an agency or an in-house environment doesn’t matter, your track record does.
Direct sourcing, active candidate engagement, and confident interviewing are part of your core skill set.
You think differently – creatively, strategically, and with a willingness to explore new and unconventional paths.
You approach recruiting with a business mindset and always keep the bigger picture in view.
You’re a persuasive communicator and build trust with stakeholders through empathy, clarity, and conviction.
You don't just try out new technologies, tools, and AI solutions – you apply them effectively and with purpose (e.g. co-pilot, canva, …)
KPIs aren't just numbers to you – you use them to make smart, data-driven decisions.
Fluency in English and German (other languages are an advantage)

What we offer

What matters to us

We understand not only the power of the visible, but also the
invisible. Like light, diversity is intangible, but it is
perceptible. We value the uniqueness of every person and see this
as a driver of innovation. Qualified applicants will be considered
regardless of, for example, origin, skin color, gender, religion,
age, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression or disability.

As the contact person for this position, a great candidate
experience is important to me! I will reach out to you within 7
days. Please inform me of any assistance you may need, so I can
best support you throughout the hiring process.
