Executive Recruiter (Remote)

We’re not looking for someone to fill a seat.

We’re looking for someone who knows what it means to build the right leadership team — not just hire quickly.

Our client, a fast-growing international company, is seeking an experienced Executive Recruiter to join their talent acquisition team. This is a remote role, embedded in a dynamic and human-centred culture, supported by NovoEmprego.pt.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Lead end-to-end executive search for strategic roles
• Act as a true partner to senior stakeholders and hiring managers
• Source, assess, and engage high-level candidates with purpose and precision
• Challenge unclear briefs and reframe profiles when needed
• Build pipelines of trust, not just databases of names
• Bring structure, consistency, and clarity to every stage of the process

What We Expect From You

• At least 5 years of experience in executive recruitment or headhunting
• Strong business acumen and the ability to understand complex organisational dynamics
• Fluency in English (mandatory); other languages are a plus
• The confidence to push back, ask better questions, and bring value beyond CVs
• Autonomy, ethics, and professional pride that doesn’t require micromanagement

What You Can Expect From Us

• Remote-first culture with flexibility and trust
• Supportive team and clear communication
• Direct access to decision-makers
• A long-term opportunity with purpose, not pressure
• A shared commitment to doing recruitment right — not just fast

We don’t flood inboxes.
We don’t sell people.
We connect the right talent to the right challenge, with strategy, respect, and results.
