Job summary

Simvia, a fast-growing SaaS scale-up in Amsterdam, is expanding its People & Culture team. We seek a proactive in-house Recruiter to build our playbook, source passive talent, and hire across sales, CS, product and engineering as we scale.

Qualifications

• 3+ years as a recruiter, in-house or agency, with hires across SaaS or tech roles from sales to R&D.

• Highly organized: you run many roles and steps at once without dropping anything.
• You enjoy speed, and you are assertive with senior stakeholders while staying warm with candidates.
• You already use AI and automation in your work and are curious about the next tool.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.

Responsibilities

• Sourcing and approaching great people across sales, customer success, product and engineering, through LinkedIn, referrals and cold calls, so most of our hires come from you rather than agencies
• Building our recruitment process from scratch: clear steps, interview templates and scorecards that every hiring manager follows
• Running several hiring processes at once, from role profile to signed offer, with candidates always knowing where they stand
• Holding hiring managers, senior leaders included, to agreed timelines and fast feedback
• Tracking time to hire, source effectiveness and funnel conversion, and using the numbers to improve how we hire
• Helping our People & Culture team with in-house events and office life in quieter hiring periods
