Requirements
What we're looking for
This role is for someone who already understands recruitment. You should have previous experience from agency recruitment, international recruitment or another fast-paced recruitment environment where sourcing, candidate management, KPIs and placements are part of your everyday work.
You:
- Speak Dutch at native or near-native level
- Have a strong level of English
- Have previous professional recruitment experience
- Ideally come from agency recruitment, international recruitment or high-volume recruitment
- Have hands-on experience with sourcing and headhunting
- Are comfortable working towards KPIs, targets and placements
- Know how to manage and prioritise your own recruitment pipeline
- Are highly self-motivated and don't need someone else to constantly tell you what to do next
- Take ownership when something isn't working and actively look for another approach
- Are comfortable working independently in a performance-driven environment
This Role Will Suit You If...
You like having freedom and responsibility in equal measure.
We don't micromanage, but that also means you'll need to be comfortable taking the wheel yourself - planning your activity, following up with candidates, adjusting your sourcing strategy and understanding what needs to happen to reach your targets.
If you're used to agency recruitment and enjoy the satisfaction of turning your own pipeline into placements, you'll probably feel at home here.
The role
We're looking for an experienced Dutch-speaking recruiter to join our international team on a freelance basis.
You'll have plenty of support from the team, but we're looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership of their own desk and driving their own results.
About the Role
As an International Freelance Recruiter, you'll manage your own candidate pipeline and recruit primarily for language-based roles across Europe.
You'll be expected to work proactively, understand where your candidates need to come from and take responsibility for moving your recruitment processes forward.
What you'll do
- Source and headhunt Dutch-speaking candidates across Europe
- Recruit candidates in English for other language-based positions
- Screen CVs and conduct candidate interviews
- Assess motivation, suitability and relocation readiness
- Manage candidates throughout the recruitment process
- Build and maintain your own candidate pipeline
- Work proactively towards weekly and monthly KPIs
- Collaborate with the team on client requirements and open positions
- Follow up with candidates throughout onboarding and after placement
How you'll work
During your first three months, you'll receive paid onboarding and training while learning our clients, processes and tools. After this period, the role continues on a commission basis with no earning cap.
You should be comfortable dedicating around 30-40 hours per week to the role.

Interested?
If you're an experienced recruiter who enjoys sourcing, ownership, targets and the freedom to drive your own results, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply and tell us a little about your previous recruitment experience.
About Next Job Abroad
Next Job Abroad is a recruitment and relocation agency that specializes in placing Nordic and Dutch-speaking professionals into customer service, travel assistance, and tech support roles across Southern Europe, particularly Spain. The company acts as an intermediary between international talent and employers in sectors like iGaming, healthcare, and customer experience, handling everything from job placement to flight and relocation logistics.
The company's entire Spain operation is built around international hires: nearly all of its open roles in Spain are for Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and German speakers, with positions spread across Málaga, Alicante, Torrevieja, and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. For an international professional, Next Job Abroad offers a clear path into Spain's sunbelt, with paid relocation, remote-friendly roles, and a work culture that is explicitly designed around helping foreigners make the move — making it a highly relevant employer for anyone looking to combine a tech or service job with a life in Spain.

Good to know if you are moving
- Relocation packages are standard: most Spain-based roles include paid flights and help with the move, so you don't have to fund the relocation yourself.
- The company hires exclusively for international talent — nearly every open role in Spain is for a Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, or German speaker.
- Roles are concentrated on the Costa del Sol (Málaga, Alicante, Torrevieja, Fuengirola), so you can live by the beach while working in tech, customer service, or healthcare.
- Several positions are fully remote from anywhere in the EU, which suits digital nomads who want to keep moving.
- The employer handles the Spanish visa and work-permit paperwork as part of the relocation, removing a big administrative hurdle for non-EU candidates.
