About KomboKombo is the unified API for HR. Instead of spending months integrating with dozens of ATS, HRIS, and payroll systems, our customers integrate once with Kombo and instantly connect to 250+ platforms. We abstract away the data schemas, auth methods, and API quirks.
Since going through Y Combinator in 2022, we've:
Grown from zero to $10M+ ARR and hundreds of customers — a pace that puts us in the top ~5% of VC-backed startups
Scaled to process data for the equivalent of 20% of Germany's workforce
Raised $30M+ from Y Combinator, 468 Capital, Volition, and other top-tier investors
Grown to 65+ people across Berlin and NYC
We're doubling revenue and headcount this year: 36 planned hires, half of them in GTM, as we scale toward 100+ people across Berlin and NYC.
You'll run full-cycle GTM hiring end to end and shape how candidates experience Kombo from first message to signed offer. Most of that hiring is for our NYC office, which you'll build from Berlin, partnering closely with the founding team on the foundational US hires.
At our size every hire visibly moves the company, and the team is genuinely invested in hiring: people show up prepared, give real feedback, and hold a high bar.
Kombo is a tech company, end to end. We build API infrastructure for HR tech and run modern tooling across every team, Talent included. You'll have freedom to experiment: build automations in Zapier, source with tools like Juicebox and Claude, run Ashby, and try new tools to see what actually works. Employer branding, internal process, the hiring stack, we'll shape these together.
What you'll ownFull-cycle GTM hiring across Berlin and NYC: sourcing, screening, process design, coordination, and closing
Hiring Manager partnership: calibrate roles, run retros, consult Hiring Managers on recruiting best practices and talent trends, and hold the bar
Leading with data: track the hiring metrics that matter and use them to improve process, candidate experience, assessment, and conversion
Employer branding: make Kombo compelling to GTM talent through content, LinkedIn presence, and the parts of hiring people actually remember
Recruiting ops & tooling: Ashby hygiene, SLAs and reporting Hiring Managers trust
2–4 years full-cycle recruiting with GTM/commercial hiring (NYC experience a strong plus)
End-to-end hiring ownership: you've run the full process yourself and been a true sparring partner for your hiring manager
Data-driven and solution-oriented: when a role stalls, you don't keep doing the same thing. You step back, look at what's not working, re-calibrate with the HM, and change the approach
Credible on technical GTM: we build technical products and sell to technical buyers, so you can speak to what our GTM hires actually do, pre-assess technical skill sets, and pitch Kombo well
Strong sourcing instincts: you find people others miss and write outreach people reply to
Experience with our sourcing stack: Claude-based sourcing, Juicebox, GitHub, Boolean
