Freelance Talent Acquisition Specialist

Most drone companies compete on range and payload. Their batteries are the ceiling. Ours is not. Tulip Tech designs and manufactures high-density lithium and silicon-anode battery systems for drones and electric aviation. Our systems reach 450 Wh/kg, which translates to 30–100% more flight time compared to anything else on the market. We design, prototype, test, and manufacture in The Netherlands. We are a lean, international team (10+ nationalities) in acceleration mode. The funding is in. The partnerships are real. Now we build! And we need a strong recruiter in Ukraine to grow with us. We started 2025 with 10 people. By the end of 2026, we're targeting 200. That's not a typo. We're looking for a Freelance Talent Acquisition Specialist who knows the local talent market well, can move quickly, and is comfortable working with an international team. Why this role matters: Tulip Tech is scaling. Engineering, manufacturing, commercial: the hiring roadmap is full. We are forming our core recruitment team from the ground op.

What you will own: Build and run active sourcing pipelines on LinkedIn Recruiter and beyond: engineering, commercial, and operations roles in parallel Own the full candidate journey for your requisitions: sourcing, outreach, screening, pipeline management, and offer prep Call candidates. Build relationships. Follow up. This is not automated. It is the job, and it is non-negotiable. Drive employer branding initiatives that make Tulip Tech visible to the right talent: engineers, campus recruitment and specialists who want to build, not maintain What you bring: Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter as a sourcing tool: you use Boolean, track response rates, and iterate on what works A track record of filling roles across multiple platforms and candidate profiles Background in a hypergrowth, startup, or fast-scaling environment: you know how to recruit with urgency and without a perfect playbook The ability to carry several open reqs simultaneously without losing momentum Exposure to employer branding and recruitment marketing: campaigns, content, candidate communications The conviction that calling candidates is part of the job, not a last resort Stakeholder management: you can run an intake call, set expectations, and push back when a brief is unrealistic Partnering closely with Wouter the Director of Ukraine and our HR team in the Netherlands Interested?
