This role is for someone who already understands recruitment. You should have previous experience from **agency recruitment, international recruitment or another fast-paced recruitment environment** where sourcing, candidate management, KPIs and placements are part of your everyday work. You'll have plenty of support from the team, but we're looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of their own desk and driving their own results. About the Role As an International Freelance Recruiter, you'll manage your own candidate pipeline and recruit primarily for language-based roles across Europe. You'll be expected to work proactively, understand where your candidates need to come from and take responsibility for moving your recruitment processes forward. During your first three months, you'll receive **a monthly onboarding bonus,** while learning our clients, processes and tools. After this period, the role continues on a commission basis with no earning cap. You should be comfortable dedicating around **30-40 hours per week** to the role, as this is what will be needed to be successful in the role.

You like having freedom and responsibility in equal measure. We don't micromanage, but that also means you'll need to be comfortable taking the wheel yourself, planning your activity, following up with candidates, adjusting your sourcing strategy and understanding what needs to happen to reach your targets. If you're used to agency recruitment and enjoy the satisfaction of turning your own pipeline into placements, you'll probably feel at home here. ## Benefits What We Offer - Monthly onboarding bonus and training during your first 3 months - Uncapped commission after the initial period - Fully remote freelance setup (within EU) - Flexibility to manage your own working day - Clear KPIs and expectations - International recruitment projects across Europe - Supportive and collaborative recruiter team - Opportunity for long-term collaboration and development ## Apply [Apply at Next Job Abroad](https://apply.workable.com/next-job-abroad/j/AEF8143A6D/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
