HR Lead

Madbox is a fast-growing mobile gaming company with a very unique way of developing games. Everything has been made for teams to take as much ownership as possible, unleash their creativity, bring performance, and have as much fun as possible.

Madbox is shaped around four core values: Casual, Mad, Thoughtful, Transparent. This is an HR Lead role where recruitment comes first in terms of time, but the people side runs through everything. We're looking for strong recruiting skills and someone who genuinely shares those values.

Hiring volume varies from year to year, but the standard doesn't: we look for people who recognize themselves in those values and in what drives us all - making millions of players smile.

• Run full-cycle recruitment across the studios, partnering with hiring managers from intake to offer (roles shared across the team by priority/location)

• Build and maintain a strong pipeline, grounded in market intelligence, salary benchmarks, and real knowledge of the games/tech industry

• Own and improve ATS workflows, candidate experience, and recruiting metrics

• Represent Madbox externally: schools, universities, hiring and campus events

• Be the go-to HR partner in Barcelona: approachable, trusted, and hands-on with day-to-day topics, with the backing of the wider HR team

• Coach and support managers on recruitment best practices and day-to-day HR policies and tools

• Shape studio life in Barcelona through local events and rituals that make it a place people want to be

• Contribute to HR team initiatives on engagement, well-being, and inclusion

• Manage HR operations for Barcelona and the Spanish entity: onboarding, offboarding, benefits, and records

• Automate manual steps in recruitment and HR workflows, and contribute to the AI-powered tools the HR team builds

• You have solid full-cycle recruitment experience, ideally in tech or gaming

• You've worked on HR topics beyond recruitment, and you enjoy that side of the job as much as the hiring side

• You're comfortable being the only HR person in the studio: autonomous, organized, and able to prioritize your workload

• You're approachable, people trust you, and you know when to raise something

• Familiarity with Spanish labour law and local HR practices

• You're fluent in Spanish and English

• You use AI tools daily, and you're curious about enhancing workflow and processes

• You care about the games and the players, and you want the people you hire to feel the same

At Madbox, we value the mindset and how you can fit with our culture by sharing common values and creating great games together.
We are passionate, always pushing to the next level to learn new things. We are creative and innovative and, most of all, team players 🙏
