# Recruitment Manager

> Carazo Enterprise SL · Belgrade, Serbia · — · Posted 2026-05-22

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** HR Department

## Description

Qualix D.O.O. Beograd is the Serbian entity of the international Adrian Magnus brand, part of the Carazo Enterprise Group founded in 2012. We operate across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Our mission is to bring the world’s finest handcrafted cigars to enthusiasts with precision, integrity, and a deep respect for tradition.

### The Role

We are looking for a Recruitment Manager who is exceptional at finding, closing, and retaining great people — and who can build the systems and team to do it at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will own our recruiting engine across the EU, USA, and Latam, lead a growing team of recruiters, and be the person our business depends on to hire well and fast.

You will also own the people infrastructure that keeps those hires: onboarding, retention, performance frameworks, and the HR foundation that a fast-growing company needs. You report directly to the CEO/COO, with the mandate to build the function properly — from the ground up.

**What You Will Own:**

**Recruitment leadership 40%**

-   Own end-to-end recruitment strategy across the EU, USA, and Latam
-   Lead and develop a team of mid and senior recruiters
-   Maintain time-to-fill targets of ≤ 30 days
-   Serve as the final decision-maker on culture-fit assessments and senior-level hires
-   Continuously improve sourcing channels, hiring funnels, and recruitment tooling

 **People operations & retention 30%**

-   Identify and address the root causes of turnover with data-driven retention strategies
-   Build a structured onboarding experience from offer acceptance through Day 90
-   Strengthen alignment and engagement across office and remote teams

**HR architecture & policy 15%**

-   Build the company's HR foundation: Employee Handbook, policies, and SOPs
-   Design and implement performance management systems — KPIs, 1:1 frameworks, review cycles, and improvement plans
-   Create clear accountability structures with transparent expectations and escalation paths

**Compliance & HR governance 15%**

-   Ensure full compliance with Serbian labor law for locally employed staff
-   Oversee contractor and B2B agreements for international team members
-   Maintain relevant partnerships to manage legal and operational risk

## Requirements

**What We're Looking For**

### Must-Haves

-   5+ years in HR with at least 2–3 years in a leadership role
-   Proven international recruitment experience — personally closing roles across multiple markets, not just managing a team that does
-   Hands-on track record of building HR processes from scratch (not just improving existing ones)
-   Experience owning tough people decisions: PIPs, terminations, senior stakeholder pushback
-   Fluent English, C1 or above — comfortable running senior interviews, negotiations, and difficult conversations entirely in English
-   Relevant Bachelor's degree (HR, Psychology, Business, or similar)
-   Ability to work on-site in Belgrade

### Nice to Have

-   Spanish language skills (strong advantage)
-   Employer branding experience or certification
-   Process optimization background
-   Employee lifecycle management across multi-country teams

_We are not the right fit if you are primarily an HR generalist without a strong recruitment track record, if your experience is limited to large-corporation bureaucracies, or if you’ve never had full ownership of building processes and structures from scratch._

## Benefits

-   Base salary plus a bonus structure on top based
-   Direct access to the CEO and COO — real influence over company direction

-   Ownership of an entire function, not a seat at a committee
-   International exposure across Europe, the Americas, and beyond
