Who are you?

We imagine that you have a couple of years of experience or perhaps you are a recent graduate with relevant experience.

It is not decisive for us what education you come with if you recognise yourself in the following:

• You have an interest in people, recruitment and organizational development
• You have experience with recruitment and test feedback to candidates and leaders
• You are structured and have a natural sense of order - you can manage several processes and deadlines simultaneously
• You are good at communicating both in writing and orally, and you can engage in dialogue with applicants, managers and colleagues
• You work independently, are proactive in solving tasks and you are happy to propose improvements
• You have a good technical understanding and are comfortable working in systems (experience with HR systems is an advantage but not a requirement)
• You have basic knowledge of or an interest in learning about personnel law, e.g., employment contracts and the Holiday Act
• You handle confidential information with discretion and consideration
• You are motivated by working with a broad palette of tasks and are proactive and curious in your approach to your work

Since we have several international colleagues in the office and at Plan International, it is also important that you have strong English skills both written and spoken.
