Talent Partner (f​/m​/d

Description

As our Talent Partner (f/m/d), your primary focus will be recruiting: owning multiple concurrent searches and helping QD find exceptional technical talent in highly specialized markets.

From physicists and engineers to hardware, semiconductor, and other deep-tech profiles, many of the people we are looking for are not actively searching for their next job. Your job is to find these hidden gems, understand what motivates them, and get them excited about solving hard problems with QD.

You will own recruitment processes end to end, partner closely with hiring managers, and continuously improve how we identify, assess, and attract exceptional talent.

Founded in 2022 as a spin-off of TU Munich, QD leverages quantum sensors to rapidly capture three-dimensional current maps within multi-layer chips. Our strong, international team of over 60, including physicists, engineers, data scientists, and other experts, works side by side with major semiconductor manufacturers, supporting chip debugging and accelerating yield analysis. Backed by top-tier deep tech investors, semiconductor experts, and strategic public programmes, we have ensured long-term stability, shifting from breakthrough to scale – and shaping the next chapter in chip testing.

Picture this:

• A machine that catches what others miss – in milliseconds.
• Physics, data, and engineering are working hand in hand to build tools that matter.
• An international team who loves solving hard problems and where knowledge flows fast.

• You'll get to build a company together with a brilliant and welcoming team on a product that has never been done before.
• Our technology is the cutting edge of tomorrow, starting today and not in 10 years.
• You will work directly with major semiconductor companies from Day 1.
• You'll get virtual shares and act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just your own team.
• You’ll be part of a high-growth company backed by top-tier investors.

• Find exceptional candidates who are not necessarily looking for us yet through proactive sourcing, headhunting, referrals, networks, communities, and creative search strategies.
• Build talent maps for niche technical markets and identify where the strongest relevant talent can be found.
• Go beyond keyword searches and understand the underlying skills and adjacent backgrounds that could make someone successful at Quantum Diamonds.
• Build genuine relationships with high-potential candidates and develop pipelines for roles we know will matter as we grow.

• Own multiple recruitment processes in parallel, from intake and search strategy through sourcing, interviews, assessment, offer, and closing.
• Recruit across Quantum Diamonds with a strong focus on engineering, hardware, physics, semiconductor, and other highly specialized technical profiles.
• Run structured screening interviews and confidently assess motivation, experience, potential, and overall fit.
• Keep 10+ searches moving with strong prioritisation, clear communication, and disciplined follow-through.
• Create a candidate experience that feels personal, transparent, and professional from first outreach to signed offer.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand what they genuinely need rather than simply recruiting against a job description.
• Translate highly technical requirements into realistic candidate profiles, search strategies, and target markets.
• Bring market insights back to hiring managers and challenge requirements constructively when the candidate pool tells us something different.
• Guide hiring teams on interviews, candidate assessment, decision-making, and closing.
