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'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.

You:

Speak German 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.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

During your first three months, you'll receive a monthly onboarding bonus, while learning our clients, processes and tools. After this period, the role continues on a commission basis with no earning cap.

What We Offer

Monthly onboarding bonus and training during your first 3 months
Uncapped commission after the initial period
Fully remote freelance setup (within EU)
Flexibility to manage your own working day
Clear KPIs and expectations
International recruitment projects across Europe
Supportive and collaborative recruiter team
Opportunity for long-term collaboration and development

The role

We're looking for an experienced German-speaking recruiter to join our international team on a freelance basis.

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 German-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

You should be comfortable dedicating around 30-40 hours per week to the role, as this is what will be needed to be successful in the role.

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.
