Talent Acquisition Partner
About the Role
Hi! I'm Cameron Rumph, Head of Talent Acquisition at Beyond Sports.
Are you passionate about building the teams that create the future? Love Sports and Technology? At Beyond Sports, we are revolutionising sports entertainment by merging the physical and digital worlds through cutting-edge real-time 3D graphics and AI. Our technology, part of the Sony Sports family, powers immersive experiences for the biggest sports organisations on the planet, and our success is driven by the brilliant engineers, artists, and all legends on our team.
As our new Talent Acquisition Partner, you will be the driving force behind our technical and creative growth. You’ll act as a strategic partner to our hiring leaders, embedding yourself within their teams to find the world's best talent in highly competitive fields like Unity, Unreal, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, AI, and Data Science. This isn't just about filling roles; it's about understanding the market, building relationships, driving change and shaping the future of Beyond Sports.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Act as a strategic partner to our Engineering, Art, and creative leads to deeply understand their roadmaps and define highly specific talent needs.
Proactively hunt for, engage, and nurture passive talent pools within the Unity, Unreal, Graphics, ML, AI, and Data Science ecosystems.
Craft authentic and compelling job descriptions that resonate specifically with elite software engineers, technical artists, and AI/Data Science researchers.
Provide market intelligence and strategic insights to hiring managers on talent distribution, compensation trends, and the competitive landscape.
Build and cultivate deep talent networks at specialised conferences, top university labs, and niche online communities (e.g., ArtStation, GitHub and more).
Manage the full-cycle recruitment process in our ATS (Ashby), ensuring a world-class candidate experience that reflects our brand and values.
What We’re Looking For:
3–5 years of experience in full-cycle deep technical recruitment knowledge, with a proven track record of hiring specialised engineering or creative talent.
Demonstrable experience and a deep network within at least one of our core domains: real-time 3D (Unity/Unreal), computer graphics, computer vision, or AI/ML/Data Science.
A strategic and consultative mindset, with the ability to build strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
Essential: Complete fluency in both written and spoken Dutch and English.
Our Recruitment Toolkit
ATS: Ashby is a bonus, but any similar ATS experience is fine.
Sourcing: LinkedIn Recruiter, ArtStation, GitHub, academic papers, specialised forums, and deep community networking. Going beyond the norm to find the best in the market!
Methodologies: Strategic talent mapping, market intelligence reporting, structured interviewing, diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Collaboration: Deep, embedded partnerships with hiring managers, technical leads, and senior leadership.
Availability to work 28 to 32 hours per week and join us in Alkmaar.
You’ll be joining a team of pioneers working on complex challenges at the intersection of sports, real-time graphics, and AI. This is a chance to apply your expertise in a warm, close-knit team that values individual initiative, celebrates success, and is passionate about building what's next.
