As Recruiting Coordinator you will be the operational backbone of EMEA recruiting. You will own interview scheduling across European time zones coordinate complex multi-stage interview panels for both the Berlin office and remote European roles manage candidate communication throughout the process and support the pre-offer and onboarding documentation workflows that are uniquely complex in EMEA.

You will work closely with the EMEA-based Talent Acquisition Partners and Sourcer to keep the hiring pipeline moving efficiently. When a recruiter is focused on sourcing a hard-to-fill manufacturing engineer or closing a senior candidate you are the person making sure the five interviews behind that one are scheduled confirmed and running on time. Your impact is measured in the speed and quality of the process fewer scheduling delays faster feedback loops and candidates who feel informed and respected at every stage.

This is a full-time hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin office and manufacturing facility 3 days per week. On-site presence is important you will coordinate directly with Berlin-based hiring managers and interview panelists support on-site interview days and serve as the local operational point of contact for candidates visiting the office.

Together this team ensures that Planets recruiting operations run smoothly across all geographies from requisition to offer acceptance.
