Recruiter (Milan)

Join the Sleep Fitness Movement

At Eight Sleep, we're on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world's first sleep fitness company, we're redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience.

Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn't passive, it's a powerful tool for living better. If you're tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what's possible, this is your moment.

High Standards. No Apologies.

We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world's top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. This isn't a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in the extra effort, not because we're told to, but because we're invested in building something category-defining.

The Role

We're looking for a Recruiter to own end-to-end hiring for a portfolio of critical roles across Eight Sleep.

Your job is to keep the pipeline full, the process fast, and the bar high.
