Project overview

Assignment Description Recruitment & Selection Advisor Contribute to a more sustainable and economically stronger Netherlands. As a recruitment and selection advisor, you connect talents to the societal tasks that RVO works on. You advise managers on the right strategic approach to filling our vacancies. Your activities: You are the director of the entire vacancy process and advise managers within multiple departments of RVO, including the Operations and Procurement departments. From the moment a vacancy arises until the start of employment.

You ensure that the process is conducted in an inclusive and objective manner. Specifically, you will work on:

• The vacancy intake, including writing an attractive and inclusive vacancy text
• Together with the selection committee, assessing candidates during the application review according to the objective method
• Attending selection interviews where necessary, and in any case preparing the selection committee for conducting a structured interview
• Conducting the employment conditions interview, including initiating the start of employment The activities are partly strategic and partly operational. You therefore easily switch from one to the other, and where you are needed, you jump in immediately. This also applies when help is needed from colleagues with work from different departments and teams. This dexterity also applies to the use of various digital tools, such as our ATS, the vacancy overview in Excel, the extensive email traffic, and approaching candidates on LinkedIn. Background of the assignment Your team: You will work in a diverse and driven team of twenty colleagues. We can guarantee that you will join a team where colleagues are there for each other. We work from trust, initiative, and results. Where we focus on our individual talents in our approach. Seeing and speaking with each other regularly at the office is not only pleasant but also leads to better collaboration and results. It helps to stay well connected. You will work from home with us, fully facilitated, and at one of our locations in Utrecht, The Hague, Assen, Zwolle, or Roermond. To get started properly, you are expected at the office in The Hague at least two days a week. Every two weeks, we work together at the office on Thursdays with the entire team. We use that moment to catch up, align, and collaborate. This alternates between Utrecht and Zwolle. Furthermore, we work hybrid, which means we have many meetings via MS Teams. Colleagues try to meet at an office weekly to work together. The recruitment & selection team has a central function within RVO for recruiting new employees. Daily, we advise management on the right recruitment strategy to attract the right candidates and talents. We are focused on doing things better and smarter every day. That's why we always remain sharp on what we do and how we can further professionalize ourselves. You will naturally contribute to this! We are working on training, new tools to improve our services, and sharing knowledge and experience among ourselves. We look not only within our team but also at overarching themes such as labor market communication, campus recruitment, diversity and inclusion, talent-oriented work, and data-driven work. Twenty colleagues work together to achieve great results in a committed and ambitious atmosphere. We want to ensure that you go to work with pleasure every day and continue to do so. That's why we like to focus on your ambition and development and regularly discuss this with you. Department: The recruitment & selection team is one of six teams within the Organization and Personnel (O&P) department. From O&P, we help the board and management in governing RVO. We do this proactively and interdisciplinarily. Strategically, tactically, and hands-on. Who are we?
• We are a group of professionals who help RVO realize its mission, vision, strategy, and operations
• We are critical of our own quality and give each other feedback to improve the quality of our services
• We work with trust in each other and actively maintain our working relationships within and outside the department

Competencies You are a strong, yet customer-oriented conversational partner. You know what you are talking about and enjoy sharing it. In your advice, you strike a good balance between mutual interests, with an eye for the relationship. You not only consider the wishes of the managers but also those of the candidates you mediate. You are strong in planning and organizing and always keep an overview of your work. So that it can always be transferred to your colleagues. You must constantly switch between different vacancies, colleagues, managers, candidates, and tasks. You know how to set the right priorities. You see bottlenecks or opportunities and provide unsolicited advice. You not only think (and plan) the entire vacancy process ahead but also place recruitment issues in the broader context of RVO and labor market trends. This is how you provide strategic advice. You find collaboration within a team just as indispensable as we do. You actively share your knowledge and show interest in the ideas of others. This is how we strengthen each other. You seek collaboration and help others where needed.
