Talent Sourcer

Company Description

Working at Boskalis is about creating new horizons and sustainable solutions. In a world where population growth, an increase in global trade, demand for (new) energy, and climate change are driving forces, we challenge you to make your mark in finding innovative and relevant solutions for complex infrastructural and marine projects.

Job Description

A talent sourcer within Boskalis isn’t a recruiter’s sidekick. On the contrary, you will be able to make your mark in the recruitment department.

That's how you contribute to the energy transition. Isn't that cool?
