As part of our Recruiting Core Team, you'll be working on enabling teams in the Recruiting tribe to build their products in a simple, efficient and stress free way by providing and improving generic components and building blocks that power local features at scale.

Like all our tribes we are a cross-functional group of engineers, designers and product managers from many different nationalities and backgrounds, spread across different locations in several teams. We ll continue to grow in 2021 and beyond. Join us and help shape Personio s journey as part of our Recruiting Tribe.
