At Netflix, we want to entertain the world. Whatever your taste, and no matter where you live, we give you access to best-in-class TV series, documentaries, feature films and games. Our Content teams partner with some of the best storytellers in the world and help them bring their visions to life at Netflix across a range of content formats. From television series, film, kids programming, documentaries, docu-series, stand-up, talk shows and reality shows, to other forms of experimental story-telling, Netflix content teams work to entertain audiences around the world.

We’re seeking a Senior Recruiter who excels at building strong partnerships and is passionate about assembling high-performing creative teams that drive Netflix’s growth, success, and innovation.

The ideal candidate is adaptable, flexible, and brings deep expertise in the Media and Entertainment industry — specifically recruiting Creative Executives and Commissioners across Scripted, Film, and Nonfiction content. You’ll have a proven track record of hiring at the senior and executive levels, while also supporting recruitment needs across a range of roles.

As a Talent Acquisition team, we focus on finding great talent, anticipating business needs, and coaching our hiring partners to hire successfully. We don’t solely focus on metrics to determine success. Instead, we also look at the qualitative impact in the form of coaching moments, successful long-term hires, and driving a forward-thinking streamlined recruiting process. We look for people who push the status quo and enjoy spending their time finding creative ways to source and attract talent. Our culture empowers people to think outside of the box, breaking the standard “recruiting process mold”. You will be empowered to be innovative when you think a process is inefficient and you’ll have peers who do the same.


The Role

Reporting to the Director, Talent Acquisition - Content, Ads & Marketing EMEA, you will:

  • Meet end-to-end recruiting fulfillment demand across our Content teams in EMEA.

  • Build excellent working relationships with the business, stakeholders, and candidates to ensure we are an employer brand of choice in the region.

  • Engage and hire top talent, leveraging data and market insights to influence the recruiting strategy.

  • Emphasize the value of inclusive hiring processes and building diverse teams.

  • Identify talent, evaluate their technical skill set, and match it to opportunities within Netflix.

  • Be comfortable sourcing talent outside of traditional talent pools and building connections with candidates proactively to ensure you always have a solid, live network.

  • Ensure that candidate motivations, interests, and values align with our unique company culture.

  • Work directly with hiring managers, HRBPs, researchers, and coordinators throughout the recruiting life-cycle.

  • Partner cross-functionally with our Inclusion Recruiting Programs partner, Talent Operations, Talent Intelligence, Compensation, Tax, Legal, Workplace, and US TA teams.

  • Use your own judgment on how to best organise, prioritise, and execute in a fast-paced environment.

  • Own multiple requisitions, and balance moving quickly while providing a great candidate experience.

  • Evaluate the current hiring process and make changes to streamline and enhance the experience for candidates and hiring managers.

  • Provide leadership with industry insights and reporting on metrics that help advise the business on future staffing needs, to ensure TA strategically provides value beyond the transactional nature of hiring.

You

  • Demonstrable years of experience within Talent Acquisition, within the Media and Entertainment industry.

  • Proven track record of hiring Creative Executives and Commissioners in Scripted, Film, and Nonfiction content.

  • Recognised as an industry expert, with the ability to immerse yourself deeply in the TV content space and build a reputation as a trusted thought leader.

  • Extensive experience hiring across EMEA, ideally with a deep understanding of how to nurture passive talent outside of hiring peaks.

  • Can bring experience of driving inclusive hiring practices and challenging the status quo to bring wider representation through promoting diverse candidate profiles.

  • Embrace the Netflix culture and our valued behaviors, ensuring you model practically the behaviours we articulate to talent.

  • You care deeply about your colleagues and when you hear something like “people over process” you don’t just get excited about good business outcomes, you also think about the good people outcomes that concept can generate.

  • Self-motivated and driven: accustomed to managing competing priorities, prioritizing, and meeting tight deadlines with minimal guidance.

  • Curious: look to dig deeper beyond the surface level of a job profile by researching market trends, domain technology, and seeking out information to have a solid understanding of the business. You ask for feedback and want to grow and develop in your career.

  • Communicate constructively, are transparent, and share openly with others. Offer your help when you see somebody needs it and recognize that one’s success isn’t somebody else’s failure.
