Part-time Talent Acquisition Manager to Alva Labs (parental leave cover)

Imagine your graduation day. The excitement. The joy. All your smiling classmates are standing around you. Would you hire all of them?

No? Why not? Then how come educational level is often one of the boxes you need to tick when applying for a new role? Because hiring is broken, and the world has got the concept of talent all wrong. Alva Labs is trying to change that.

Are you up for the joyride of working as a talent acquisition manager at a company that lives and breathes recruitment? Then join Alva’s HR crew and help us continue to build our fantastic organization!

The company

Alva Labs is a Stockholm-based B2B SaaS company that offers a talent assessment solution where we help our customers grow their teams in a scientific and data-driven way. By combining state-of-the-art psychometric assessments, the latest research in designing candidate selection systems, data science, and an obsession with candidate and user experience, we are attempting to redefine the industry and help our companies set and reach the bar for what world-class hiring looks like.

The role

As a Talent Acquisition Manager at Alva, you will be in charge of the full recruitment cycle: identifying the need from the organization, sourcing candidates, interviewing, building work sample cases together with hiring managers, and, of course, celebrating every great new hire! You will work on recruiting for various roles across the company—tech and non-tech—helping us maintain our balance between commercial and technical teams.

In addition to recruitment, you’ll also dive into other HR-related initiatives, such as:

• Leading onboarding efforts to make every new hire feel welcome and set up for success.

• Supporting performance reviews to ensure they are well-structured and impactful.

• Managing offboarding processes with professionalism, ensuring a smooth transition for departing team members.

This is a parental leave cover on a 50% basis, starting May 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026.

You

We didn’t know exactly what to call this role. Is it a TA or HRPB we are looking for? We know you need to be able to run hiring processes on your own, and we know you will help out in the broader HR work, where help is needed. We do know it will probably be easier for you to thrive in this role if you tick some of these boxes:

• Have worked with inhouse or external recruitment before

• Have worked with broader HR tasks, such as onboarding, performance, offboarding and more

• Are structured and driven

• Are a strong collaborator that can we solve problems together

• Take action and ownership when you see something that needs to be done

Your future colleagues

We are a team of 60+ people, representing a wide selection of professional backgrounds. The common denominator is the excitement for our mission, to create a fair and efficient job market. There is a lot of engagement and eagerness to build something spectacular together with other highly talented individuals.

What about the HR team, you might wonder? We thought you would never ask!! It is petite, but grand when it comes to result, heart and humor. Together with Minya and Linnea, you will do great things!!

Why join Alva?

The problem we are solving is not just engaging and interesting, but it is also something that has a tremendous impact on both people and businesses. We have the opportunity to create a more fair, inclusive, enjoyable and efficient job market, where all candidates are treated fairly. Together with you, we can make a real difference out there.

What else? We have flexible work hours in a hybrid setup, where we spend at least 3 days per week in our office in central Stockholm. You will join a company that lives and breathes recruitment, so your expertise and passion will be well taken care of.
