Recruiter (Milan)

At Eight Sleep, we're on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world's first sleep fitness company, we're redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience.

Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn't passive, it's a powerful tool for living better. If you're tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what's possible, this is your moment.

We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world's top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. This isn't a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in the extra effort, not because we're told to, but because we're invested in building something category-defining.

We're looking for a Recruiter to own end-to-end hiring for a portfolio of critical roles across Eight Sleep. You'll act as an internal headhunter, proactively sourcing, engaging, and closing top talent rather than waiting on inbound applications. You'll partner closely with hiring managers to build and manage pipelines, run a sharp interview process, and help us scale the teams that power our growth. Your job is to keep the pipeline full, the process fast, and the bar high.

• Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles, from intake with the hiring manager through sourcing, screening, interviews, and hire

• Proactively headhunt passive candidates via LinkedIn and direct outreach, building live pipelines before roles even open

• Partner with hiring managers to sharpen role scoping and run a fast, rigorous interview process end to end

• Run every search on our playbook: structured interview plans, consistent candidate communications, and Ashby automations that keep the process moving

• Manage our university job portals and coordinate with career offices at top business schools to keep those pipelines flowing

• Adapt across functions as hiring needs change, keeping pipeline data clean and metrics sharp in our ATS (Ashby).

• 2 to 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally blending agency or executive search with an in-house stint at a high-growth startup, D2C, or tech company

• Experience recruiting internationally across Europe and the US, comfortable navigating different markets, comp norms, and hiring practices

• Proven track record sourcing and closing passive candidates, with LinkedIn outreach campaigns that actually convert

• Comfortable recruiting across a range of functions (marketing, web, and mobile, among others) and getting fluent enough in each to sell the role credibly

• High-energy, resourceful, and fast-moving; you thrive with real ownership and minimal oversight

• Sharp judge of talent and culture fit, with strong stakeholder management to keep hiring managers aligned and moving

• Experience with modern ATS tools (Ashby a plus); organized and metrics-driven in how you track pipeline health

• Affinity for consumer, health, wellness, or lifestyle brands, so you can sell the mission with conviction

• Exceptional communicator, fluent in English

• You'll help build the teams that power one of the fastest-growing health tech companies in the world

• You'll have real ownership over your searches and the autonomy to run them your way.

• You'll work with a high-performance team across marketing, product, engineering, and operations

• You'll be part of a company redefining the future of sleep, recovery, and preventative health
