We are looking for a Recruiter for MSF Denmark

Læger uden Grænser / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Denmark is looking for a creative and resourceful Recruiter with good networking skills and a proven track record in recruitment and talent attraction.

In MSF, we know that we can only be as good as our staff. Help us find the best people in Denmark to join our movement of doctors, nurses, logisticians, HR and finance specialists, and many other professionals who contribute every day to saving lives all over the world.

In recent years, MSF’s International Mobile Staff (IMS) recruitment strategy has changed from a relatively reactive approach with a broad scope to a more proactive and targeted tactic focused on a smaller number of specialized profiles.

To attract enough suitable IMS candidates, new and innovative recruitment initiatives need to be explored, developed, and implemented. Concurrently, MSF-DK’s HR department needs an overhaul in terms of policies, SOPs, and systems used to recruit both IMS and Office Staff.

To help us to take our recruitment efforts to the next level, we are looking for a creative and resourceful Recruiter with excellent networking skills and a high level of cross-cultural awareness who is capable of initiating, coordinating, and implementing a variety of recruitment initiatives focussed on delivering concrete and impactful results.

The working hours is 25 per week and the Recruiter will be reporting to the People Director.
