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?

The opportunity

• This isn't a support role. From day one, you're in the mix
• Based at our Ostend headquarters, you'll manage the full recruitment cycle: intake, sourcing, screening, interviewing, assessment and offer
• In your first year: structured guidance from an experienced Talent Acquisition team, at your own pace
• From year two: full autonomy and ownership of your own recruitment portfolio
• An international environment: hiring managers across functions, countries and cultures.

What you'll do?

Candidate Experience & Sourcing

• Be the person candidates remember, from first message to signed contract.
• Proactively source candidates trough searches, LinkedIn Recruiter and creative outreach. Talent doesn't just apply, you find it.
• Conduct structured, compency-based interviews, assessing skills, drive and cultural fit.
• Write hones, substantive candidate assessment that steer hiring decisions.
• Support offer negotiations and keep communication clear trough to signature.
• Act as a sparring partner to hiring managers: advising, challenging, aligning.
• Build talent pools for future growth, not just today's vacancies.
• Grow into training hiring managers on our recruitment process and tools

Employer branding & improvement

• Represent Orac at job fairs and campus events, and build real school partnerships.
• Help shape how we recruit: process, tools, employer branding.
• Bring curiosity about AI and digital recruitment tools to the team.

What Success Looks Like

• Within 30 days, actively sourcing, screening and interviewing for junior roles, with a clear picture of how responsibilities are shared.
• Within 60 days, independently managing your vacancies, proposing shortlists, running weekly check-ins with hiring managers.
• At 240 days, guiding your own vacancies from intake to offer, having proposed and carried out one concrete process improvement

What You Bring

Must have

• A first professional experience in recruitment (agency or in-house), or an HR/business background with the ambition to grow into talent acquisition.
• Native-level Dutch and good working proficiency in English.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; you build trust quickly with candidates and hiring managers.
• A structured, organized way of working across multiple vacancies at once.
• Persistence in sourcing, across blue and white collar roles and across countries.
• Openness to working with AI and digital recruitment tools, even without prior hands‑on experience.

Nice to have

• Hands‑on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, an ATS (we use Teamtailor), or AI recruitment tools
• Experience with competency‑based interviewing or assessments (we use SHL OPQ; training is provided).

Not sure you tick every box? If this role feels right to you and you recognise yourself in the way we work, we'd still like to hear from you.

What Makes This Role Worth It

• A structured learning path in year one. You are supported, not left to figure it out alone.
• Full ownership of your own recruitment portfolio from year two.
• Direct impact on a fast‑growing, internationally active company.
