Today, we're bringing that story together under one roof, as your European partner for AI-powered CRM.

Job Overview

We're growing our Tribe CRM business unit in Utrecht and looking for a hands‑on HR Business Partner to act as a trusted advisor to leadership and employees alike. You'll be the main point of contact for HR matters for the business unit, from day-to-day HR administration and payroll oversight to guiding the organisation through transformation.

Most of the team is based on site in Utrecht, with some international employees also in scope, so you'll need to be as comfortable with Dutch employment practices as with supporting colleagues elsewhere in Europe.

Your team can't wait to welcome you!

• Full ownership of the Dutch HR scope, in direct partnership with Business Unit leadership, Talent Acquisition, and central HR/People teams


• European exposure: international employees in your remit and group‑level people projects across efficy Group


• People experience programme & continuous learning

Key Responsibilities

• Employee Relations & Consultation: act as the main point of contact for employees, providing guidance on HR policies, employment laws, and employee relations issues, for both local and international team members


• Payroll & HR Administration: oversee payroll processing and day-to-day HR administration, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely resolution of employee queries


• Change Management: support and guide employees through the company's transformation processes, ensuring smooth transitions and fostering a positive workplace culture


• Talent Development: partner with leaders to identify training and development needs, facilitating programmes that enhance employee skills and support career progression


• Performance Management: oversee the performance review process, ensuring it is aligned with efficy Group's goals and encourages continuous improvement


• Recruitment & Onboarding: collaborate with the Talent Acquisition team to attract top talent and ensure a smooth onboarding process for new hires


• HR Analytics & Reporting: monitor HR metrics and provide insights to the leadership team, helping to inform decisions that drive business success

• Hands‑on profile: comfortable rolling up your sleeves on payroll and HR administration as well as strategic partnering; this role is as much about getting the details right as it is about influencing leadership


• Skills: strong knowledge of Dutch labour law and HR practices; exposure to supporting employees across multiple European countries is a plus


• Language proficiency: full professional fluency in English and Dutch


• Problem‑solving: a proactive approach to problem‑solving, with the ability to handle sensitive and complex HR issues


• Adaptability: comfortable working in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment where change is constant
