About the job
Recruiting Specialist 100%The Personnel Office of the Canton of Zurich is the centre of expertise for all personnel-related matters of the cantonal administration with over 35,000 employees. We support managers and employees in a wide range of HR topics and shape modern personnel work in a dynamic environment.
Many things are happening simultaneously with us: retirements, new requirements, transformation projects and recruitments in very different areas. That is exactly why we are looking for an experienced recruiter personality who quickly takes responsibility, is pragmatic and eager to contribute in a fast-moving environment.
The position is limited to 12 months and offers you the opportunity to directly apply your recruiting experience in an intensive and versatile phase.
We are a small recruiting team that moves a lot, enjoys laughing and still works very precisely. We like people who think along, communicate openly and do not lose their sense of humour even when three processes are urgent at the same time.
Your tasks
- You are responsible for recruitments in various departments of the Finance Directorate with around 1,200 employees and manage the process from the first briefing to the offer.
- As a sparring partner for our line managers, you clarify profiles, reflect the market and also say when wishes and reality do not match.
- You review dossiers, conduct interviews, evaluate online assessments and use the results purposefully for your interviews.
- You formulate advertisements so that they fit the target group and do not sound like copy-paste.
- You actively use LinkedIn Recruiter and other channels when suitable applications do not come easily by themselves.
- You keep candidates well informed throughout the process, communicate reliably and ensure a professional candidate experience.
- You work with various departments within the Finance Directorate and quickly realise: recruiting does not work the same everywhere.
- You pitch in with recruiting topics beyond day-to-day business when things are urgent or need to be advanced.
Your profile
- Recruiting is not new to you. You bring solid experience in in-house recruiting and have at least a professional certificate.
- You advise managers clearly, reliably and on an equal footing, even when the desired profile, market and time pressure do not quite match.
- Multiple parallel recruitments, changing priorities and different stakeholders do not easily throw you off course.
- You work quickly, structured and pragmatically without losing sight of quality and the candidate experience.
- Different departments, working methods and cultures make the task exciting for you. You find your way quickly and adapt situationally.
- You have assertiveness but remain professional, solution-oriented and close to people.
- You use digital recruiting tools, SAP SuccessFactors, LinkedIn Recruiter or similar systems confidently or find your way around them quickly.
- You communicate clearly, confidently and appropriately for the target group in German.
Our offer
- A role where your experience counts from day one.
- Different departments, specialist areas and functions that make your recruiting everyday life versatile.
- A small team that pitches in, thinks along and can still laugh even when things get a bit hectic.
- Flexible working, modern working conditions and locations that are easily accessible by public transport.
