What do you do as a Trainee recruitment at xentys?

You are the face of xentys but also your own brand. You build your own network of candidates and interim workers.

You search and find them for solid positions (mainly from €60K salary), so they are generally professionals. Then you approach them (by phone, social media, email) to generate interest in the vacancy you are working on, so that they want to send you an application. This means you need to have a good understanding of the content of what your client (the company) does and what the vacancy entails.

You will conduct interviews with your selected candidates based on a strict protocol so that you come across as professional. We will educate/train you in this, including training on-the-spot by your colleagues, but also in weekly master class sessions focused on companies, industries, procurement and supply chain. This makes you as a recruiter an increasingly valuable discussion partner for candidates, but also for clients. And that is necessary for successful placements. After the placement, you keep in touch with clients and with your placed candidates.

It is important that you have your administration in tip-top order, so that you know exactly who you have approached, with what story and what you have agreed upon.

You will also look for new and smarter ways to recruit candidates, together with our IT experts.

If you are a bit further along in your development, you will set up a business plan for a new activity (we have the ideas for this on the shelf) and you will build and run your own little company within xentys. Or you will go more into the sales side to win new customers and assignments.

You will also be expected to give space to your creativity by developing marketing activities: SEO, organizing a webinar or an online challenge, maintaining a blog, newsletters, etc.

  • You are eager to learn; therefore, we will create a tailor-made development plan for you when you start.

This will make you happy

  • Lots of contact with candidates (often inspiring people)
  • Searching the internet for the right candidates for your vacancies and interim assignments
  • Commercial success because you have placed someone. With a 3-monthly bonus as icing on the cake
  • Discovering new opportunities to work smarter
  • A lot of freedom, flexible working hours and room for initiative
  • Being an entrepreneur within a company
  • Working in an inspiring environment with professional colleagues
  • Lots of networking opportunities in our top-end office building
