Junior Recruiter – German & English | Open to Career Starters & Career Changers

Hudson Talent Solutions · Edinburgh (Hybrid) · Full-time

Looking to start out in recruiting, or build on some early experience? Whether your background is in HR, sales, consulting, or something else entirely — with us, you'll get the chance to learn end-to-end recruiting from the ground up for a well-known pharmaceutical company, with a team that won't leave you to figure it out alone.

Your Responsibilities

End-to-End Recruiting for Selected Roles (with Onboarding Support)

• You'll support the full recruiting process — from initial sourcing through to contract signature — for our pharma client in Germany and Austria. We'll walk you through how each stage works, step by step.
• You'll conduct initial candidate conversations, learn what matters when assessing candidates, and help shortlist candidates.

Stakeholder & Candidate Management

• You'll be in close contact with HR Business Partners, Hiring Managers, and external agencies.
• You'll help ensure a positive candidate experience and gradually build strong relationships with everyone involved.

Agency Management & Contingent Workforce

• You'll grow into managing external staffing agencies ("contingent hiring") — sounds like a lot at first, but it's very learnable, and we'll support you along the way.
• Over time, you'll become the go-to person for this topic within the Germany Hub.

Process Improvement & Projects

• You'll bring your own ideas into improvement initiatives (e.g. in sales recruiting) and learn how to continuously improve recruiting processes.
• You'll support strategic talent projects and grow together with the company.

Your Profile

• Some initial exposure to recruiting or HR is a plus (e.g. internship, working student role) — but it's not a requirement. Career changers are very welcome too.
• You keep a clear overview even when juggling multiple open roles and different stakeholders.
• Experience with external agencies or contingent workforce is a bonus, not a must — we'll build that know-how together with you.
• Strong communication skills, organizational talent, and genuine enjoyment working with different people define you.
• Fluent German and English — this is a requirement, as you'll work with international teams and stakeholders.
• You approach new tasks proactively, think in terms of solutions, and want to keep developing yourself.

What We Offer

• International team — working alongside an experienced EMEA Talent team that will onboard and support you
• Hybrid working (50% remote)
• Ownership from day one — your own vacancies in Germany & Austria, with room to grow
• Room to shape things — your ideas on recruiting processes are welcome
• Open culture — collaborative environment with a real focus on your development
