Sr. Recruitment Business Partner Eindhoven region

What will you be doing?

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you will join Nearfield’s HR/Recruitment team and take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment process for highly specialized technical roles across the organization.

Recruitment at Nearfield goes beyond filling vacancies. You will act as a trusted recruitment business partner to hiring managers, helping translate business needs into effective hiring strategies and driving recruitment from demand through successful hire.

You will recruit experienced professionals across a broad range of engineering and physics disciplines supporting the R&D, development, industrialization, and production of our semiconductor metrology systems. This requires curiosity about technology, a strong understanding of the external talent market, and the confidence to challenge and advise stakeholders when needed.

You will have the autonomy to manage your vacancies from end to end, while also helping Nearfield further develop its recruitment capability as the organization grows.

Your responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end recruitment process, from intake and recruitment strategy through sourcing, interviewing, offer management, and successful hire.

• Act as a strategic sparring partner for hiring managers, challenging requirements where necessary and advising on talent availability, recruitment strategy, selection, and hiring decisions.

• Drive the business toward hiring outcomes by creating momentum, setting clear expectations, identifying bottlenecks, and ensuring stakeholders take timely decisions.

• Translate workforce demand into actionable recruitment priorities and proactively anticipate future hiring needs.

• Build a strong understanding of Nearfield’s technology, organization, and business objectives to effectively recruit highly specialized engineering and physics talent.

• Develop and continuously improve sourcing strategies for scarce and difficult-to-find technical profiles, using direct sourcing, talent mapping, referrals, networks, and relevant external channels.

• Build and actively manage candidate pipelines and long-term talent networks, rather than recruiting vacancy by vacancy.

• Develop, implement, and continuously improve recruitment processes, tools, and ways of working that support Nearfield’s growth.

• Use recruitment data and market insights to monitor progress, advise the business, and continuously improve recruitment performance.

• Manage recruitment agencies and other preferred suppliers, including determining when external support adds value and monitoring supplier performance.

• Establish relevant recruitment partnerships and networks in new countries as Nearfield expands its activities internationally.

• Represent Nearfield Instruments at relevant career events and actively contribute to strengthening our position in the technical talent market.

• Take ownership of recruitment challenges beyond your individual vacancies and contribute to the continued professionalization of the Recruitment function.
