Senior Technology Recruiter

(Fulltime/ Part-time, 32-38 hours per week)

Acquiring talent that aligns with an international brand is the primary focus of a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Action's international headquarters in North Holland. Your mission entails representing Action Technology in the tech labor market by overseeing the recruitment strategy and all associated activities.
 

This is your daily action

You will lead the recruitment process for all vacancies within the Technology department. One moment, you'll be searching for candidates through the talent pools you've established on LinkedIn; the next, you'll be discussing two new vacancies with a hiring manager or reviewing upcoming vacancies for the month with the HR business partner. You'll also liaise with external partners, such as coordinating the deployment of appropriate media channels and creating online content for your target audience, including testimonials and videos. Additionally, you'll conduct job interviews and go above and beyond to ensure an exceptional candidate experience. Have you found the right talent? Then you make a job offer that no candidate can resist. You'll manage approximately 8 vacancies at a time.

At Action, we like to work together a lot. In this way, you form a ‘trinity’ with the HR business partners and the hiring managers. You will also work in the HR team consisting of a Recruitment Manager, a Recruitment Operations Specialist, six Recruiters and a Recruitment Coordinator. Within this professional and international team, we are always there for each other, and together we have a clear goal: to support the business as much as possible and to acquire the right talent for Action.

How we contribute to society

If you only know Action from the stores, a world will open up for you when you join us. For example, we are working hard behind the scenes to make a positive impact on society and the environment. Did you know, for example, that we sponsor more than 2,500 children worldwide who are growing up in an SOS Children’s Village? That our team reflects the diversity of our customers, including 124 nationalities? That we already source more than 92% of our wood products and 100% of our cotton sustainably?
