Picnic Behind the Hires

Recruiters at Picnic are more than pipeline builders — they’re talent advisors, business partners, and growth accelerators.
From day one, you’ll own processes, shape hiring strategies, and work closely with teams across Tech, Commercial, Operations, and Leadership.

During this event, you’ll meet the teams designing these processes, learn how we combine data with creativity, and discover the impact recruiters have on a business operating at European scale.
