About the Role
At Catawiki, our Talent Acquisition team plays a key role in building the tech organisation that powers our marketplace. As our Tech Sourcer, you’ll focus on finding and connecting with great engineering talent in Lisbon, Amsterdam and across the world, including candidates open to relocation.
Your core responsibility is sourcing and screening. You’ll identify strong profiles, reach out in thoughtful ways and quickly assess whether they’re a match for our teams. You’ll work closely with recruiters and hiring managers to understand what’s needed, build solid pipelines and keep the process moving smoothly.
As our tech team continues to grow, you’ll be an important partner in helping us hire the engineers who will shape the next chapters of our product.
Who you are
You’re a sourcer who loves the hunt. You know how to find engineers others overlook, and you’re confident turning a cold profile into a warm conversation. You’ll likely bring:
- Proven experience sourcing and screening engineers, using LinkedIn, Boolean, X-ray and other creative tactics with ease.
- A strong ability to quickly understand who is a real match and who is not. You keep the hiring funnel tight by filtering effectively, even when speaking to many candidates.
- A genuine affinity for tech. You understand the basics of languages, frameworks and architecture, and you can quickly grasp what a team needs.
- The ability to partner well with recruiters and hiring managers, building trust and aligning quickly on what good looks like.
- Comfort using AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini for talent mapping, research and sourcing efficiency.
Where you’ll be
This position can be based from either our Amsterdam or Lisbon office. We work in a hybrid setup with Tuesday and Thursday as our fixed office days.
Why You'll Love Working with Us
- Create a Visible Impact by working at scale in a global organisation that serves millions of customers across 80+ categories. In our flat structure, every role has a broad scope that directly impacts both our customers and the business.
- Learn and Grow with Us through our Learning & Development initiatives, which include clear development plans and mentorship programmes designed to support your career progression.
- A Culture of Connection defines us. We’re a passionate, diverse and collaborative team of 800+ Catawikains and 60+ nationalities, all coming together to build a one-of-a-kind marketplace. We foster an inclusive and queer-friendly work environment, committed to making every Catawikian feel welcomed and empowered. Whatever your story, we encourage you to bring your unique perspective to our team.
- Celebrate Life’s Moments with us at Catawiki. When you join us, you’ll receive a €100 Catavoucher, and on each birthday, you'll get a €50 Catavoucher to celebrate. Enjoy an extra day off each year to "Pursue Your Passion". We also recognise significant work anniversaries (3, 5, 8, 10 years) with additional time off, plus extra leave for life’s big moments like marriage, engagements, or moving house.
Please note that benefits can vary by location. For specific information regarding what’s available in your country, please consult your recruiter.
Our Offices and Way of Working
Our vibrant offices in Amsterdam, Paris and Lisbon are designed to inspire and connect. Most Catawikians are within commuting distance of one of our offices and enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work model. That said, some roles may be an exception: if the job description states that the position is fully remote or 100% office-based, that arrangement will apply instead.

If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
We’re continually incorporating hybrid elements, while employees choose how they split their work between the office and home.
We strive to be an employer where your impact is meaningful, visible and rewarded.
