And do you have what it takes to make an impact? Then we might be looking for you. Find out more about our vacancy for a Corporate Recruiter. About Our Organisation We are Huisman. We develop step changing technical solutions and translate these into the design and construction of the largest construction equipment. For decades, we have been working all over the world for offshore wind, geothermal, oil & gas, leisure and civil industries. With our passionate workforce and worldwide production, service & sales facilities we are equipped for impact in these times of transition. “"We love creating something that doesn’t exist yet. And if it does, I know we can make it even better."” Robin van Boven, Principal Engineer About The Position Of Corporate Recruiter As Corporate Recruiter, you are responsible for the entire recruitment process, from intake through to onboarding. You independently manage multiple vacancies across different disciplines and target groups and adapt flexibly as recruitment needs change. You operate as a trusted sparring partner for the business. Through a thorough intake with the hiring manager, you understand the need, priority and rationale behind a recruitment request and critically assess what is really required in terms of profile, experience, salary level and availability. You write and publish vacancies, actively source candidates through LinkedIn and other channels, and take full ownership of the initial selection. You review CVs and applications, conduct candidate interviews and decide which candidates to present to the hiring manager. You then manage the entire process, from interviews through to assessments, case studies and feedback. You assess salary expectations against our internal frameworks, negotiate offers and, once an agreement has been reached, ensure a smooth handover to HR Support. Throughout the process, you keep candidates and hiring managers well informed, keep the ATS up to date and ensure a professional candidate experience. External recruitment and contingent hiring are also part of your remit. You manage recruitment partners and suppliers and oversee recruitment & selection, secondment, temp-to-perm arrangements, external hiring and transfers to direct employment. You negotiate rates, fees, terms and transfer arrangements, assess different contractual and hiring structures, and monitor agreements, costs and added value. In addition, you actively promote Huisman and our vacancies, for example via LinkedIn, and contribute to improving recruitment processes and bringing structure where needed. What do we expect of you? You are a confident business partner who does more than simply execute: you advise and manage expectations. You are hands-on, independent, decisive, results-oriented and pragmatic. You are persuasive, well organised, able to switch quickly between different stakeholders and comfortable adapting when priorities change. You feel at home in an organisation where processes are not always fully developed or documented. You work independently and in a process-oriented way, maintain oversight and bring structure to your own area of responsibility.
