Recruiter (German speaking)

Want to make a real impact as a Recruiter? Join a fast-growing B Corp where your work directly contributes to fighting climate change. At Fastned, you’ll help accelerate the transition to electric mobility. We’re over 380 colleagues (from 40+ nationalities) across nine countries, working together to make it easy for electric drivers to charge up with 100% renewable energy from the sun and wind – fast and hassle-free. We were recently voted the best charging network in the UK, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands – a testament to our mission to offer the best, most welcoming charging experience out there!

We’re looking for a German-speaking recruiter to help grow our diverse teams across Europe with meaningful green jobs. You’ll be part of our Talent Acquisition team – 7 fantastic recruiters hiring top talent in Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Denmark, and the UK. Fastned is growing fast, and hiring the right people is key to our mission: giving freedom to electric drivers everywhere. New to the world of EVs? No worries! Your onboarding includes a series of fun and insightful workshops to get you up to speed on all things electric mobility and fast-charging infrastructure. We can’t wait to welcome you to our informal and innovative company! This position can be based in Cologne or Amsterdam.

Expect variety and real business partnering! To build and run our fast-growing network of beautiful charging stations, we need people from all kinds of industries. That’s what makes this role so exciting – you’ll get exposure to loads of different areas and learn something new every day. Within your first year, you’ll become a go-to recruiter for roles in real estate, architecture, construction, marketing, PR, creative, public affairs, retail, finance, and legal – all working together to drive the energy transition forward. You’ll be working on a colorful, ever-changing mix of roles across multiple countries.

Boredom? Not a chance! We’re a fast-moving scale-up in a young industry – so things don’t always come with a ready-made playbook. A lot happens on the fly, and that’s exactly where you come in. Our recruiters don’t just follow along – they help shape the way we do things. You’ll take real ownership: designing and steering processes, building strong relationships with hiring managers, and actively contributing at every step. This isn’t a top-down environment – we want you to be a true sparring partner from start to finish.

It can be fast-paced (and sometimes a little chaotic), but always interesting. You’ll sharpen your strategic and commercial thinking in an open, transparent environment where you’ll understand why we do what we do. You’ll get a peek behind the scenes and see what it takes to grow a future-forward company across different European markets – each with its own strategy and flavour. You’ll help us scale while keeping our open, friendly, and one-of-a-kind culture alive. You’ll also get to visit your teammates in other European offices – and of course, we want you to experience electric driving for yourself! You’ll have access to our pool of fully electric company cars, including for personal use – and yes, charging’s on us.

Who we’re looking for

You bring along experience in recruiting in-house (a must) - preferably in a fast-paced, international environment, while some previous agency work is always welcome. You’re commercially minded, a great communicator, and not afraid to dig into complex topics. You know how to connect with all kinds of people, from marketing leads to architects to the CEO. We’re not big on hierarchy, but we love diverse perspectives - and you know how to navigate them. You get people, you get processes, and you know how to bring both together smoothly.

Here’s what else you bring to the table:

• 3+ years of experience in recruitment.
