Meet the team:

Talent Acquisition at Preply is a high-performing, ambitious team that’s deeply embedded in the business. We are obsessed with raising the bar - constantly iterating, innovating, and learning together to be best-in-class. We’re technology driven, data-informed, and we think critically about our business and map, engage and prioritize according to customer and business outcomes. But we also care deeply about collaboration, thinking team-first, and supporting each other along the way. Building a legendary company should be fun 🙂

We’re now looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our leadership hiring team - someone who brings deep recruiting expertise, strong market knowledge, and a track record of hiring senior and strategic talent.

• Solid understanding of equity plans, business models, and how orgs scale, especially in global contexts.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills - you can influence at the highest levels with confidence and care.
• Growth mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, always learning, and energized by doing hard things well.
• A collaborative, low-ego approach: you thrive in a team that’s candid, curious, and committed to learning together.
• Location: You’re fluent in English and ready to work from Barcelona, London or Kyiv - or make the move to join us.
