Our Culture

At WEBB, we believe that our people are our greatest asset. We promote a culture of innovation, collaboration, community, and excellence. We believe in the power of a supportive and diverse environment where talent can thrive and where everyone can contribute to our shared goals. If you are a motivated and enthusiastic recruiter who is ready to take on new challenges, we’d love to hear from you!

Passionate about connecting talent with opportunity?!

WEBB is on a mission to become a global leader in the trading industry and we are well aware that our success depends on the talent and drive of our people. That’s why we are on the hunt for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who loves to build relationships and brings a passion for connecting people to our team.

You will be involved in all aspects of recruitment, from creating and publishing job descriptions and sourcing candidates, to coordinating and conducting interviews. But as our Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll be more than just a recruiter – you will be our corporate influencer, the friendly face, and the first point of contact for all our candidates. You will be reporting to our head of HR, playing a crucial role in shaping the future of our workforce. If you love connecting with people, creating a great candidate experience, and being a vital part of a growing, ambitious company, then this is the opportunity for you. As an ambassador of WEBB, you know how to bind new colleagues to us with your enthusiasm, openness, and drive. You will visit and build relations with universities and study associations in the Netherlands and France, and organize great (in-house) events, contests, summer schools, and internships.

Although you will work together with external recruiters, you will be the only dedicated recruiter inside the company. So, you should enjoy taking ownership of the recruitment process from start to finish, and to deliver results relatively autonomously. The People team further consists of an employer branding specialist, an HR advisor, and an HR team lead, who will of course team up with you where they can.
