Shoptet is the largest e-commerce platform in the CEE region. We help companies and individuals start and grow their businesses online. We offer endless possibilities for online stores – from renting, through payment services, to connecting with industry professionals.
Our People team is growing and we’re looking for someone to help us tackle hiring and employer branding to support the company’s further growth. As a Head of Talent Acquisition at Shoptet, you will play a pivotal role in driving the growth and success of our talent acquisition team. The position combines strategic initiatives (TA department in general, employer branding), people management, and hands-on recruitment work on hiring critical senior roles.
You’d join a team led by Martina Suchomelová, and manage three recruiters. This role will require you to lead a talent and brand strategy, action plan, and deliverables in the dynamic environment of the fast-growing tech/SaaS company. You will cultivate strong relationships with hiring managers, and follow industry trends to attract and retain top talent.
What will be your agenda
- Develop and implement a strategic talent acquisition plan that supports the company's growth objectives and ensures a great candidate experience.
- Monitor hiring metrics to understand the performance, and improve effectiveness and ROI.
- Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of talented recruiters, providing guidance and support in all aspects of talent acquisition.
- Collaborate with department heads and team leaders to understand hiring needs and develop effective recruitment strategies for their teams.
- Manage end-to-end recruitment for selected senior roles.
- Introduce standardized reporting with a focus on key roles to keep Management informed and handle risks.

- Develop and maintain TA-related policies.
- Utilize data-driven insights to assess and improve recruitment processes, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding.
- Build relationships with external partners, including recruitment agencies, job boards, and professional networks.
- Oversee employer branding initiatives to ensure Shoptet is positioned as an employer of choice within the industry.
Our expectations:
- You have ideally 3+ years of experience with recruitment within a technology company as Head of TA or similar senior role, a solid personal network in the TA industry, and experience with hiring in multiple locations, segments, and seniority levels.
- As recruitment is crucial for our managers you have strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to make data-informed decisions and think critically.
- Given that our departments are diverse (Sales, IT, Product, Marketing, Backoffice), you are able to navigate different fields and adapt to various types of internal requirements.
- You work well with data – you can read them and know how to plan further hiring strategies based on them. And you can craft an effective reporting for our hiring managers and Management.
- As Shoptet grew a lot in the past years and we're planning our further growth, a can-do attitude and ability to manage variable and changing agendas, will be crucial for this role.
- You also have amazing time management and prioritization skills.
- You are used to an informal and/or startup environment or able to flex and adapt to it.
- You deeply care about people, doing the right things, and kind communication and collaboration.
- You are a person who takes the lead and actively takes initiative rather than reacting only when asked.

More About Shoptet
14 years ago our founders wanted to fulfill a simple dream - to start an e-shop. But they found that there was no simple solution on the market. So Shoptet was created with a mission to help people do business online. We grew slowly and our biggest boom came in 2020 when many merchants were forced to move online due to the pandemic. We have 250+ employees across three countries, countless success stories, and most importantly over 38,000 clients whose entrepreneurial spirit keeps us going.
