Company Description
Wolt is a technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to your home or office. Wolt works together with over 30,000 restaurant and retail partners as well as with over 60,000 courier partners across 23 countries and 129 cities.
Our apps (iOS and Android) have the industry’s highest reviews, largely because of our customer-centric approach to how we build our products and operations. For example, our customer service team responds in a matter of seconds, in the customer’s own language.
We’ve raised more than €707M in financing from renowned U.S. and European based investors, such as ICONIQ Capital, Tiger Global, DST, Prosus, KKR, Coatue, 83North, Goldman Sachs, Highland Europe and EQT Ventures & EQT Growth, among others. We've also been fortunate enough to receive some appreciation and recognition for our hard work along the way: Apple selected Wolt’s app as their Editors' Choice, Wired named the company one of the "Hottest Startups in Europe," Forbes included our CEO Miki Kuusi on its 30-under-30 in Consumer Tech list, and the Nordic Startup Awards named Wolt Company of the Year.
In 2020, the Financial Times named us Europe’s second fastest growing company. We’re still expanding rapidly and are looking for more talented individuals to join us. If you are passionate about cutting-edge technology, great food, and making an impact in your city, then Wolt just might be for you.
Wolt is more than just a food and retail delivery operation – in fact we are built upon a solid foundation of state-of-the-art technology. Our internal tooling enables us to ramp up new cities efficiently and provide excellent customer service, our own logistics platform allows us to optimise our couriers' work to get you the food you want as fast as possible, and our restaurant platform allows restaurants to offer exciting food experiences for our customers in an optimal way.
We work in small teams with high ownership, with each team focusing on a key area of the Wolt product stack. Each and every one of our product team members has a say in where we are going and what solutions we implement. We work with a passion, but we haven't forgotten how to have fun along the way!

Job Description
At Wolt recruitment is a first class citizen. We invite you to come feel that love and support for yourself by joining as a Group Talent Acquisition Partner for the Product development organization based in Finland!
Wolt is more than just a food delivery operation – in fact we are built upon a solid foundation of state-of-the-art technology. Our Product+ organization has grown from mere 20 people to 400+ in the space of 4 years. In the meantime Wolt has also been on a tremendous growth trajectory - in that same time we’ve grown from 5 countries to 23, a million users to over 18 million, raised over 700 M EUR in funding… and the list keeps going. This is your chance to be a part of building the next chapter of Wolt.
Our Product+ talent team is currently a feisty team of 16 split between our offices in Berlin and Helsinki. We hire roles that are based in our Product Hubs in Berlin or Helsinki, but we also hire remote positions in Denmark, Sweden and Estonia and do relocations to Berlin and Helsinki. We work in an end-to-end model, where each recruiter owns the roles they work with, from building the recruitment strategy and building the pipeline to closing.
We're now looking to add one Group Talent Acquisition Partner to our Engineering function to partner up with two of our Engineering groups: New Business and Merchant. As a Group Talent Acquisition Partner, you'll be responsible for the execution, hiring strategy and stakeholder collaboration of your groups. You’d be hiring software developers across different domains, technologies and seniorities for these two groups and their different products. You'll work closely with the Directors and Heads of Engineering from these two groups to make sure we're doing the best possible hiring, staying current with our approach, ahead of the curve when it comes to hiring needs, and troubleshooting challenges together. Talent Acquisition at Wolt is highly collaborative with the business, so we expect you to want to work very closely with the stakeholders of your domain.
You can be based in the Helsinki capital area, Berlin or work entirely remotely elsewhere in Finland, Germany, Denmark, or Estonia now and in the future! 🌍 Read more about our new remote set-up here.
What You'll Be Doing

- Provide guidance, understanding and insight to your hiring managers based on your experience, know-how, market understanding and well informed data points.
- Driving exceptional quality - both in candidate experience and in your service towards your internal stakeholders. We don’t settle, we strive for excellence and do uncommon things uncommonly well at every opportunity.
- Bring value by being able to discuss our business, product development, values and mission with vehemence.
- Sourcing high-quality candidates at all levels.
- Screen and sell Wolt to candidates in order to pinpoint and convert the right talent to introduce to your hiring team.
- Communicating effectively (both verbally and written) to various stakeholders, usually our department VP’s and directors, hiring managers, lead engineers and our awesome pool of interviewers.
- Guiding your hiring teams through the recruitment process with efficiency and finesse. Mentoring them on best practices, and supporting them in decision making.
- We all have our hands on side projects we feel passionate about, whether that is diversity & inclusion, employer branding, interviewer training or something else, you will also run initiatives outside operational hiring.
Qualifications
- Previous experience in recruiting for software engineering roles, proven track record of filling such roles, preferably in an in-house environment.
- A genuine passion to hire efficiently and effectively at scale and with high volumes.
- Experience working directly in close collaboration with technical stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently E2E, and think on your feet in a fast-moving environment.
- Be able to collaborate and proactively communicate clearly both verbally and in written form with various stakeholders in English.
