Finding talent, building teams: Monika’s story

I’m a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist at Salonkee, supporting our teams across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. I connect with talented people, guide them through the hiring process, and work closely with our teams to find the right fit for each role.

Before Salonkee, I was working at a logistics start-up in Berlin, where I got to experience a fast-paced start-up environment.

I was most surprised by the open culture and how warmly I was welcomed from day one.

I enjoy being part of the whole journey, from the first conversation to the signed contract and seeing new people become part of the team. It’s great to be involved in something that has a direct impact on the company.

I work most closely with the Sales organisation, as well as HR and Marketing.

For me, it’s about much more than just experience or the right keywords on a CV. I look for someone’s mindset, positive energy, curiosity, and the way they approach new situations. I’m also interested in what motivates them, how they think, and whether they’re genuinely curious about Salonkee, our culture, and the people they would be working with.

I’ve learned how to embrace change, be comfortable with making mistakes, and use them as opportunities to learn.

I’m excited about everything that’s still ahead of us, new challenges, new people, and seeing how Salonkee continues to evolve across our different markets.
