What you’d bring

Skills:

• Strong track record of managing, influencing and motivating others across the organisation
• Drive and ability to hit targets, identifying blockers early and cutting through problems
• Demonstrable up-to-date working knowledge of current employment legislation, policies, practices and procedures and the impact on best recruitment and induction practices
• An excellent communicator with a commercial outlook, able to interact with the stakeholders of the business and candidates.

Location and flexibility

As part of our DNA, we offer a flexible working environment, so we encourage you to apply and ask if this is something you require.

When it comes to your working location, we’d leave it to you to decide what works best. You can live anywhere in the UK or the Netherlands and work completely remotely if you would prefer.

If you live near any of our offices in Utrecht, Manchester, Edinburgh or London, you can of course also choose to work from the office as often as you want. We may ask you to travel occasionally to one of our offices (or a customer site) for specific meetings or team building/social events.

Fair Pay. Done Right.

Our "Fair Pay. Done Right." commitment: We don't advertise salary brackets because we don't have salary brackets. We encourage conversation about your (and our) salary expectations from the off and throughout your time with us, but we don't want to discourage anyone from applying because they are on significantly more or less than a "bracket".

What you’ll get

In addition to a competitive salary (see our “Fair Pay. Done Right” commitment), the CTS benefits package is outlined below:

• Company contributed pension scheme, private health insurance and Death in Service Scheme.
• Unlimited paid holiday days. It is not all about working!
• Flexible work culture. We trust you to manage your time and workload responsibly.
• Take up to 10 paid 'Learning Days' (in addition to your annual leave) to spend on professional development.
• Work From Anywhere' policy. Work abroad up to 90 days a year.
• A minimum of two whole-company social events each year. This might perhaps be one of the nicest benefits, as we typically have one ‘Kick-Off’ every year in a sunny location in Europe.
• The ability to complete Professional Google Certifications and other industry-recognized training and certifications (paid for by the company).
• Industry-leading parental leave policies, health and wellness initiatives, and access to a discount and rewards program (including discounted gym memberships).

Whats next

Our Talent Specialists will contact you a.s.a.p. after your application. If we agree that there is a match, then you'll progress through to a 1st stage interview.

If all interviews go well, we will then make you a nice offer and, if you accept it, we will talk about the onboarding process.
