Functieomschrijving

Do you have a passion for recruitment? Are you looking for new experiences within talent attraction, like you have never had before...?  
 
… you might ask yourself what makes this opportunity unique?   

Recruiting professors is an experience most recruiters have not had before. Academia is culturally vastly different than industry. The environment offers significant freedom and flexibility. You will have the chance to build up relationships not only with your hiring managers, but also the various departments managing directors and deans. Through your credibility you will become a trusted partner for them, helping and advising them regarding their hiring choices. After all, it is the people that create the culture. 

As an experienced recruiter, you’ll attract scientific staff from all over the world. You will actively search for qualified academic candidates (assistant, associate, and full professors) on a global scale. Your passion for searching and sourcing passive candidates will contribute to your success. You will be involved in pre-selection and will interview candidates, frequently together with your hiring manager. Additionally, your drive for achievement will help to ensure that your hiring managers are engaged and committed throughout the entire process. You have a very independent role, yet you are supported by your recruitment colleagues. You will be joining a small but connected team, that appreciates the fun factor as well! 
 
The path to a successful hire can be a rather lengthy journey. This means that you have significant time to build up relationships with your candidates, since often the candidate journey is 6+ months. You become not only the trusted partner internally, but also externally with your candidates. What ultimately can start out as a candidate, can also be your potential next hiring manager.   

Our team 
The Talent Attraction team started in March 2019. Eindhoven University of Technology was the first university in the Netherlands to setup a dedicated recruitment team. Since 2019 many other universities in the Netherlands have followed with in-house recruitment. The market for professors globally is competitive, which is part of the driving factor for adding the functional expertise of recruitment to HR. As a member of the Talent Attraction team, you will have the opportunity to further professionalize and expand recruitment within the university.                                                                 
 
The Talent Attraction (TA) team currently consists of 5 colleagues (project lead/recruiter, two recruiters for professors, one for professional staff, project coordinator talent attraction). This position will be an addition to the team. Our team currently provides support for 9 departments (Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Built Environment, Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Industrial Engineering & Innovation Services, Mathematics and Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering) within the university.
