At Sytac, we build high-performing engineering, data, and security teams for leading organisations in the Netherlands and beyond. We combine a pragmatic, people-first culture with strong craftsmanship, giving professionals autonomy in real production environments, backed by a consultancy that invests in growth, community, and long-term partnerships.

We’re looking for a Recruiter who can run end-to-end hiring: from intake to offer, while keeping speed and candidate experience high. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys stakeholder management, closing strong talent, and building a predictable recruitment engine.

What you’ll do

Manage full-cycle recruiting processes for a variety of software engineering roles
Collaborate with stakeholders to develop early-stage hiring strategies for critical technical positions
Run sharp intakes: define must-haves, nice-to-haves, and realistic timelines
Proactively source candidates via LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, communities, events, and targeted outreach
Manage the process: interviews, feedback loops, candidate communication, offer management
Leverage Greenhouse to track candidate progress through funnel, resurface existing talent, and keep consistently clean data for reporting
Ensure candidates have an excellent interview experience - regardless of outcome
Strengthen employer branding through consistent candidate experience and market feedback

What we’re looking for

5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, either in-house or at an agency, with a strong track record of delivering hires
A strong mix of agency and corporate recruiting experience is preferred
Proven success in recruiting Data Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, and other related technical roles.
Proficiency with recruitment tools and platforms (e.g., Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter) to manage the recruiting process efficiently
Operate as a business partner, using market insights and data to guide stakeholders toward better, faster decisions
Break down complex searches into clear plans, diagnosing bottlenecks and proposing solutions proactively
Manage multiple searches with structure, balancing high volume with attention to detail and predictable execution
Ability to balance candidate expectations with business needs and deliver results in a fast-paced environment
Strong communication in English; Dutch is a plus, residency in NL (no sponsorship).
Proactive, structured, and able to push back when a profile is vague or unrealistic

Nice to have

Experience recruiting for Data/AI, DevOps/Platform, Java/Kotlin, Security
Experience with both proactive sourcing and inbound pipelines
Experience improving recruitment processes (ATS hygiene, scorecards, structured interviews)

What we offer

A role with real ownership and measurable impact
A people-first culture with focus on craftsmanship and long-term partnerships
Access to Sytac’s community, knowledge-sharing, and development support
