Do you want a job where you have a direct impact on people and the organization?
As a Junior Recruiter at Abbott, you help new colleagues find their place - from operators in the factory to specialists in the office. You ensure that we hire the right people, so that our production keeps running and teams become stronger.

This is an ideal starter role: you do not need to be an experienced recruiter yet. We will teach you the profession step by step.

Candidates who do not master the Dutch language will be rejected immediately.

In this role, you ensure that vacancies are filled with the right people. That means you:

• Discuss with managers who they are looking for and what they need

• Write vacancies that truly appeal to people

• Actively search for candidates yourself (e.g., via LinkedIn or job boards)

• Conduct initial interviews to see if someone fits the role and the team

• Guide candidates from first contact to contract

• Help to approach hard-to-fill vacancies creatively

• Ensure a good candidate experience (people feel seen and guided)

• Maintain an overview and learn to manage based on data (e.g., how quickly we fill vacancies)

👉 In short: you are the link between candidate and hiring manager and ensure that the right match is made.

You will work closely with:

• Hiring managers (e.g., team leaders in the factory)

• HR colleagues

• Your own TA team (Team Lead + 3 recruiters)

So you are not just busy "moving CVs," but truly building relationships and learning to exert influence on hiring decisions

• You learn the full recruitment process from A to Z

• You will quickly receive your own responsibilities (not just shadowing, but participating)

• You have a visible impact on the business (without you, no new employees)

• You develop skills such as stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation

• You work in a dynamic environment (production/logistics = never boring)

• 0-2 years of experience (e.g., HR, sales, recruitment, or customer contact)

• at least a completed HBO (Higher Professional Education) degree

• You are curious and dare to ask questions

• You communicate easily with different people

• You are organized and proactive

• You speak good Dutch and English

👉 More important than experience: your motivation to learn the profession

• Strong guidance and coaching (you will learn the profession really well)

• Working in an international and stable company

• Growth opportunities within recruitment

• A close-knit and supportive team

• Flexibility in work location
