Recruitment Manager

Great recruitment starts long before a vacancy opens. It means understanding where the business is going, anticipating the talent it will need, and helping leaders make confident hiring decisions. As our Senior Talent Acquisition Partner, you will own recruitment for your business area and serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, directors, and HR Business Partners. You will challenge assumptions, build proactive talent pipelines, and help shape the future of Talent Acquisition within our Central Head Office organization.

Our Talent Acquisition team is evolving towards a more proactive and strategic model. We are strengthening our sourcing capabilities, building sustainable talent pipelines, and partnering more closely with the business.

“No two days are the same. One moment, you are advising a director on a critical hire; the next, you are helping a new manager make a hiring decision with confidence. Your expertise is genuinely valued, and you can see the difference your advice makes.”
— Your future teammate

Your team

You will join a team of around 10 Talent Acquisition professionals, responsible for recruitment across Central Head Office, Campus, and Customer Relations.

The team is based in Amsterdam. We predominantly work from the office because we value being together: sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas, and staying closely connected to the business and one another.

Our culture is open, energetic, and entrepreneurial. We appreciate people who see opportunities, take initiative, and turn ideas into action. There is room to experiment, improve our approach, and shape your role. And because recruitment does not always follow the plan, a healthy sense of humor certainly helps.

What you will do:

• Own end-to-end recruitment for your business area.
• Build trusted partnerships with hiring managers, directors, leadership teams, and HR Business Partners.
• Understand the business behind each vacancy and translate its needs into effective recruitment strategies.
• Anticipate future hiring needs and develop relevant talent pipelines.
• Actively source and engage talent for current and future roles.
• Advise and challenge stakeholders on role profiles, selection methods, and hiring decisions.
• Conduct interviews and drive consistent, competency-based selection.
• Use talent data and market insights to support better decisions.
• Contribute to the continued development of our Talent Acquisition strategy and ways of working.

You bring:

• At least 7 years of experience in Talent Acquisition or recruitment.
• Experience working in a complex, fast-changing organization.
• Strong end-to-end recruitment and selection expertise.
• Extensive experience conducting interviews and guiding high-quality hiring decisions.
• The ability to manage multiple vacancies and priorities while maintaining quality and oversight.
• A business-partnering mindset: you understand the wider need behind a vacancy.
• The confidence and credibility to advise and challenge managers, directors, HR Business Partners, and senior leaders.
• A proactive and entrepreneurial approach: you take ownership and get things moving.
• The ability to build trust, communicate clearly, and bring stakeholders along with you.

Most importantly, you want to build a Talent Acquisition function that does more than fill vacancies. You want to help the business make better talent decisions and leave recruitment stronger than you found it.
