Summary

We are Detapro, a Dutch IT staffing company, and we are looking for a freelance Talent Sourcer to support us in finding IT professionals in the Netherlands. We are specifically looking for someone who speaks and writes **Dutch fluently**. Candidates from Suriname or other countries with strong Dutch language skills are very welcome. ### What will you do? Your main responsibility is to find suitable IT professionals for our open positions and make the first contact with them. You will: * Search for candidates using LinkedIn and other relevant platforms * Identify candidates who match our vacancy requirements * Approach candidates **on behalf of Detapro** * Follow up with candidates who don't respond initially * Have the first written conversation with interested candidates * Check whether there is genuine interest in the vacancy * Hand over interested and qualified candidates to us You do **not** need to conduct interviews or manage the full recruitment process. Once a candidate is interested and willing to have a phone conversation, we take over. ### Important: you will represent Detapro We are not looking for an external recruitment agency. We want you to work as an extension of our team and communicate with candidates **as a Talent Sourcer/Recruiter for Detapro**. You may receive a Detapro email address and will use our communication style, vacancy information and templates. ### Who are we looking for? You: * Speak and write Dutch fluently * Have experience with LinkedIn sourcing, recruitment, lead generation or outbound sales * Know how to search efficiently using keywords and Boolean searches * Are comfortable approaching people proactively * Communicate professionally and naturally * Work independently * Are accurate when assessing whether someone matches a profile Experience recruiting IT professionals (Cloud, Infrastructure, System Administration, DevOps, Microsoft/Azure, etc.) is a big plus, but not necessarily required. ### Compensation This is an hourly freelance position with an additional **success bonus**. You will receive: * Your agreed hourly rate for the sourcing work performed * A **€500 success bonus** for every candidate sourced by you who is hired by Detapro and actually starts employment with us We are looking for a long-term cooperation. This means that a successful sourcer can earn additional bonuses for multiple hires throughout the year. The recruitment process after the initial sourcing stage — phone calls, interviews, offers and contracts — will be handled by Detapro. For the first weeks, we will start with a limited number of hours as a paid pilot. If the quality of your sourcing is good, we can increase the number of hours and vacancies. ### To apply Please answer these questions: 1. Where are you based? 2. How would you rate your Dutch language skills? 3. Do you have experience sourcing candidates through LinkedIn? 4. Do you have experience recruiting IT professionals? 5. What tools do you normally use for sourcing? 6. What is your hourly rate? 7. Would you be interested in a lower fixed rate combined with a performance bonus per qualified interested candidate? Please start your application with the Dutch sentence **"Ik spreek Nederlands"** so we know you have read the full description. We are looking for an individual freelancer, **not an agency**.
