Job description

Talent Acquistion Specialist

Ostend, Belgium

Spotting talent before anyone else does? Then you already think like a recruiter.

Are you the person who can't scroll LinkedIn without mentally sourcing for a role? Our Talent Acquistion team at Orac is looking for someone to help us find, convince and welcome the people who'll shape our teams across our 11+ countries.

About Orac

At Orac, we don't see walls as surfaces. We see them as blank canvases. What we create is not decoration, but the elements that define how a space feels. For over 50 years, we've been refining that craft. Combining tradition with innovation and design thinking with industrial precision.

We work with people who care about detail. Because detail is never just a detail: it's what makes something feel right.

Curious how we think and work?
