Senior Recruiter

About The Company Utopia is an ultra-luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand creating a global ecosystem of properties and experiences.

We develop private villa retreats in beautiful locations around the world, each with high-end service. Utopia also offers a wider ecosystem of leisure experiences and services available both to those staying on property and to external visitors.

Utopia designs and builds its properties in-house. Our team works across the full journey: from concept and architecture to construction, interiors, landscape, guest experience, and long-term operation. For architects and designers, this means working on properties from the ground up, with the ability to influence how each place is planned, built, and experienced. For hospitality professionals, it means joining a brand where service is personal, attentive, and built around each guest’s stay.

We’re a young, ambitious team with high standards and a hands-on approach. We value strong ideas, practical thinking, attention to detail, and people who are ready to take responsibility for their part of the work. If you’re interested in architecture, design, hospitality, or guest experience, we invite you to grow with Utopia. About The Role We are looking for a Recruiter / Talent Partner to join our Talent team and drive strategic hiring that directly shapes the future of the business.

This is a high-ownership recruiting role for someone who is excited to build and improve hiring processes, partner closely with hiring managers, and make decisions based on data. You will help us hire top talent across multiple functions, with a strong emphasis on construction / architecture-related roles (and adjacent areas) as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruitment across LATAM and Europe: intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination, offer management, and closing.
• Build sourcing strategies beyond standard channels (not only job boards and not only LinkedIn), identifying niche communities, referrals, networks, and market-specific sources.
• Partner with hiring managers as a true advisor: align on role requirements, define assessment criteria, and ensure a transparent, business-friendly hiring process.
• Run recruiting in a data-driven way: monitor funnel conversion, identify bottlenecks, measure source effectiveness, and propose experiments to improve speed and quality.
• Conduct market and talent mapping research for hard-to-hire roles, providing insights on compensation, availability, and competitive landscape.
• Continuously improve recruiting workflows, documentation, and candidate experience as the company scales.

Requirements

• Proven experience in international recruitment (in-house or agency) with ownership of full-cycle hiring.
• Strong English communication skills (daily work in English; confident stakeholder management).
• A genuinely data-driven mindset: comfortable tracking funnel metrics and using numbers to guide decisions.
• Strong sourcing capabilities and ability to engage and close senior and hard-to-reach candidates.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-moving environment with multiple stakeholders and priorities.

Nice-to-have

• Recruiting experience in construction, architecture, design, real estate development, or adjacent domains.
• Engineering education or a strong analytical/technical background that helps you understand complex profiles faster.
• Portuguese or Spanish fluency.

What We Offer

• Remote collaboration.
• International scope: hiring across LATAM and Europe.
• A truly global team (30+ nationalities).
• Growth opportunities within the HR function as we scale.
• The chance to help build a luxury hospitality brand aiming to become #1 worldwide.
