What the job looks like.
What do you do as a recruitment trainee at xentys?
You are the face of xentys, but also your own brand. You build your own network of candidates and interim professionals.
You search for and find them for substantial roles (mainly from a € 60K salary), so they are generally experienced professionals. You then approach them (by phone, social media, email) to spark interest in the vacancy you are working on, so that they want to send you an application. This means you need to know in detail what your client (the company) does and what the vacancy involves.
You interview the candidates you have selected based on a strict protocol, so that you come across professionally. We will train you in this, including on-the-spot training by your colleagues, but also in weekly master class sessions focused on companies, sectors, procurement and supply chain. This makes you an increasingly valuable sparring partner for candidates and clients as a recruiter.
What does your week look like?
It is important that you keep your administration in perfect order, so that you know exactly who you have approached, with which story and what you have agreed.
You also look for new and smarter ways to recruit candidates, together with our IT experts.
Once you are further along in your development, you set up a business plan for a new activity (we have the ideas ready on the shelf) and so you build and run your own small business within xentys. Or you move more towards sales, to win new clients and assignments.
You are also expected to give your creativity room by developing marketing activities: SEO, organising a webinar or an online challenge, keeping a blog, newsletters, etc.
You are eager to learn; that is why, when you start, we will draw up a tailor-made development plan together with you.
