At Sytac, we build high-performing engineering, data, and security teams for leading organisations in the Netherlands and beyond. We combine a pragmatic, people-first culture with strong craftsmanship, giving professionals autonomy in real production environments, backed by a consultancy that invests in growth, community, and long-term partnerships.
We’re looking for a Tech Recruiter who can run end-to-end hiring: from intake to offer, while keeping speed and candidate experience high. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys stakeholder management, closing strong talent, and building a predictable recruitment engine.
What you’ll do
- Manage full-cycle recruiting processes for a variety of software engineering roles
- Collaborate with stakeholders to develop early-stage hiring strategies for critical technical positions
- Run sharp intakes: define must-haves, nice-to-haves, and realistic timelines
- Proactively source candidates via LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, communities, events, and targeted outreach
- Manage the process: interviews, feedback loops, candidate communication, offer management
- Leverage Greenhouse to track candidate progress through funnel, resurface existing talent, and keep consistently clean data for reporting
- Ensure candidates have an excellent interview experience - regardless of outcome
- Strengthen employer branding through consistent candidate experience and market feedback
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, either in-house or at an agency, with a strong track record of delivering hires
- A strong mix of agency and corporate recruiting experience is preferred
- Proven success in recruiting Data Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, and other related technical roles.
- Proficiency with recruitment tools and platforms (e.g., Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter) to manage the recruiting process efficiently
- Operate as a business partner, using market insights and data to guide stakeholders toward better, faster decisions
- Break down complex searches into clear plans, diagnosing bottlenecks and proposing solutions proactively
- Manage multiple searches with structure, balancing high volume with attention to detail and predictable execution
- Ability to balance candidate expectations with business needs and deliver results in a fast-paced environment
- Strong communication in English; Dutch is a plus, residency in NL.
- Proactive, structured, and able to push back when a profile is vague or unrealistic
Nice to have
- Experience recruiting for Data/AI, DevOps/Platform, Java/Kotlin, Security
- Experience with both proactive sourcing and inbound pipelines
- Experience improving recruitment processes (ATS hygiene, scorecards, structured interviews)
