(Senior) Recruiter

Join Fastned, a fast-growing B Corp on a mission to accelerate the transition to electric mobility and fight climate change. As part of our international team of 400+ colleagues from 40+ nationalities, you’ll help us hire top talent across Europe and support our bold growth plans. We enable electric drivers to fast-charge with 100% green energy and have been recognized as the best charging network in the UK, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, a testimony to our drive to offer the best & most beautiful charging experience!

We’re looking for a (Senior) Recruiter to join our incredible Talent Acquisition team and help scale diverse teams across 10 countries. You will recruit for a wide range of roles - from real estate, architecture and construction to marketing, public affairs, and many more - gaining exposure to many industries and learning opportunities. Fastned is growing fast, and ensuring we continue to hire the best talent is key to our mission: Creating freedom for electric drivers. No experience in electric mobility? No worries! You’ll get a hands-on introduction through our inspiring onboarding workshops and plenty of guidance from your fellow team members. We are looking forward to welcoming you to our impactful, informal & innovative company!

This role can be based in Amsterdam, Zurich, or Madrid.

So, what’s most likely different recruiting for Fastned compared to companies you’ve previously worked for? Actual variety & business partnering! 

To build & run our network of beautiful charging stations, we need enthusiastic professionals from many different industries collaborating under one roof. This unique mix of professions enables every recruiter to work on a broad & ever-changing range of roles across several countries to keep things fresh. Variety - check! 

Since we’re a fast-growing scale-up in a relatively new, emerging field, there’s not always a blueprint for what we want to achieve. As our recruiter you therefore play an active part in shaping functions through your work. You have ownership over designing & driving processes, ensuring effective assessments, and actively contributing to every step of the candidate journey. You are the driver - this is not a top-down environment where you just execute, but rather, we encourage you to be a true business partner for hiring managers and teams from A-Z. Our environment will shape your commercial & strategic thinking, because we value transparency and want you to understand why we do what we do. You will get the chance to see beyond the curtain of what it takes to grow a fantastic company across different European markets, each with its own tailored strategic approach.

Through your work, you will play a key role in driving our unique & collaborative scale-up culture. Of course, we want you to experience electric driving first-hand. That's why you get access to our pool of fully electric company cars - also for private use, all charging expenses covered! Help us recruit green jobs and make an impact on the energy transition!

Who we are looking for

You bring along experience recruiting in-house (a must) - preferably in a fast-paced, international environment (some previous agency work is always welcome). To navigate the complexity of our roles and successfully close them, you need to have a solid commercial understanding and demonstrate proven negotiation skills. You feel comfortable working with various stakeholders regardless of their position or background across all levels of the organisation (that being said, there is very little hierarchy at Fastned). Outstanding communication skills are key here. You know how to inspire, support and understand the interplay between people and processes. Additionally, you bring along:

• A Bachelor's/Master's degree.

• Excellent spoken and written English (additional European languages are a plus).

• Experience with sourcing tools such as the LinkedIn Recruiter platform.

• You feel connected to Fastned's mission: to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility by giving freedom to electric drivers.
  

Join us in building a better future!

We work hard to change the world, but we don't forget to recognise & celebrate our successes, big and small. We focus on work-life balance, provide genuine work flexibility, and have family-friendly policies in place. Our benefits package includes:

• Stock option plan - we believe in shared value creation.

• A training and development budget of €3,000 per year, because development and training are important to us and our sector offers endless opportunities.

• You get access to our fully electric vehicle fleet (all charging expenses covered).

• 29 holidays. Additionally, we give you 2 Mission Days you can use to contribute to Fastned’s mission or to support a cause that is important to you.

• Attractive Pension plan (fully covered by Fastned).

• Daily lunches, snacks & drinks are provided at our office locations.

• Next to fun events year-round, we throw notorious Christmas parties and organise an amazing yearly trip abroad with all employees.

• Going the extra mile for parents: We provide you with personalised coaching support before, during and after parental leave. Facilitated by Foundree.

• Understanding women's health is beneficial for all of us, fostering empathy, improving communication, creating a more inclusive workplace. That’s why we teamed up with Flouria, providing you with quick access to a broad range of women’s health professionals.

• Other perks include flexible working hours, full travel compensation and the working gear of your choice.

Curious? We would love to have a chat with you!
