This vacancy from Recruiter (32–36 hours) This is your next step if you:

• wants to pull out all the stops to recruit from a wide range of target groups.
• wants to work independently of location and time and to be given the freedom to develop.
• wants to bring about change and further develop recruitment, together with your colleague. 

Here’s what you’ll be doing
From urban planners to data specialists. And from parks and gardens staff to advisers at our Customer Contact Centre. At Apeldoorn City Council, you’ll come across a wide variety of roles. Roles for which you’ll be recruiting top candidates. In this way, as a recruiter, you’ll be helping to shape the Apeldoorn of tomorrow. 

Over the past few years, we’ve been working on the fundamentals of recruitment and, of course, filling a large number of vacancies. With nearly 300 vacancies each year, we certainly don’t get bored. That’s precisely why we’re looking for a new recruiter: it’s time to take our recruitment to the next level. You know better than anyone how the current labour market works and how to approach it. Together with your colleagues in HRM, you’ll work out what a manager is really looking for and needs in his or her team. In our view, that’s more than just the familiar ‘multidisciplinary linchpin’. Once the requirements are clear, you’ll advise on recruitment strategies and set to work finding the best candidates for your vacancy.

In practical terms, this means that you:

• Work with the hiring manager and/or the HR adviser to draw up an action plan for new vacancies.
• Reaching out to candidates, choosing the right channels and devising other ways to fill the vacancy.
• Build up a network and a talent pool. You’ll also draw up a plan for how to handle open applications and rejected candidates who might be a very good fit for another department.
• Provides advice on the use of new tools that are essential for retaining top talent. And, of course, champions their use.
• Work alongside your colleague to put the municipality of Apeldoorn on the map as a top employer.

Together with Arline, who keeps everything running smoothly for employers and candidates, and with Jannika and Régy, with whom you’ll be working to further develop our recruitment processes. What characterises your new team? It’s, of course, our commitment to delivering the highest quality for both managers and candidates. And the personal connection we share with one another.
