IT Recruiter - US Market Expansion (Kraków or Wrocław, Poland)

Founded in 2017, Unit8 is a fast-growing Swiss AI and data analytics consulting and services company dedicated to solving complex problems of traditional industries like automotive, chemical, financial services, manufacturing and pharma. We work with some of the biggest organisations in Europe to solve the challenges that directly affect their business - be it operations, finance, manufacturing or R&D. Since our foundation, we have successfully delivered more than 200 projects and have grown to 150+ talented individuals across 6 office locations.

Unit8’s mission is to drive the adoption of AI and Data Science in the non-digital industries and to help accelerate their digital transformation. Among its activities, Unit8 dedicates a part of its resources and time on projects that deeply matter to us - that includes collaboration on pro-bono and “engineering for good” causes.

The Role

We are looking for an IT Recruiter to join our team in Poland, focusing on recruitment for the US market. The ideal candidate will be comfortable and ready to work in the afternoon to align with US time zones. Strong sourcing skills are essential, and prior experience in the US market, particularly in data and AI recruitments, is a big advantage.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

In your first 6 months, success will be defined by your ability to bridge the gap between our European roots and US ambitions. You will have succeeded when:

• You have moved beyond simple sourcing to become a market advisor, providing data-driven insights to leadership on strategic talent hubs, US salary benchmarks, competitor moves, and talent availability.

• You have established relationships with candidates on LinkedIn and beyond.

• You have created a seamless rhythm of working afternoon hours, ensuring US candidates and hiring managers feel you are fully present and integrated into their workday.

• You’ve successfully hired our first US colleagues—talented individuals who don’t just "fill a role" but help us shape the Unit8 culture in this new location.

• You’ve become an integral, trusted member of our recruitment team, collaborating naturally across all our locations.

What Tasks You Can Expect

At Unit8, you’ll wear many hats and own the US recruitment engine from start to finish. You can expect to:

• Manage the entire process—from creative sourcing and initial screens to leading the final "sell" and closing the offer.

• Map out talent hubs, research salary benchmarks, and advise leadership on how to win in the US Data & AI scene in the US.

• Lead negotiations and navigate the nuances of US compensation to bring top-tier talent on board.

• Take care of the essentials—from scheduling interviews, drafting offer letters and contracts to ensuring a smooth onboarding experience.

• Get involved in projects beyond "just hiring"—like for example building our Employer Brand in the US, improving our processes, or helping out with local community initiatives.

• Ensure our "Unit8 vibe" translates across the ocean, keeping everything aligned despite the distance.

Who You Are

• You have 3+ years in in-house tech recruitment, ideally with a background in Data & AI and a solid grasp of the US market.

• You’re an expert at market mapping and finding the right people, but you also know how to build real relationships beyond the first message.

• You’re comfortable advising leaders and contributing to global initiatives, not just filling roles.

• You enjoy the mid-size company life where you wear many hats, stay highly organized, and own your desk.

• Your English is fluent, and you’re a natural at connecting with US-based candidates and stakeholders.

• You’re happy to work on a B2B basis and comfortable with afternoon hours (e.g., 11:00–19:00) to stay in sync with the US.
