Recruiter (bol)

I am commercially oriented and I like to work with people

During the Recruiter training you will develop yourself into the link between talent and employers.

You'll help job seekers find their dream job and support companies in finding the right employees. You'll do this by delving into recruitment, selection, and relationship management, while simultaneously honing your commercial skills. With a keen eye for job market opportunities, you'll build a strong network and learn how to use it effectively. In practice, this means that as a recruiter, you'll typically work for a temporary employment agency, a recruitment and selection agency, or a secondment agency. You'll match candidates with vacancies, whether they're permanent positions, holiday work, or flexible assignments. This requires curiosity, initiative, and a customer-focused approach.

The power of personal attention

The Recruiter program is a variation on the Commercial Employment Consultant program. You'll work on projects at school, both individually and in teams. To successfully complete these projects, you'll learn the theory through instructional sessions, workshops, and guest lectures. The projects are realistic, always connected to real-world situations. Good planning and taking responsibility for your work are central to the program. You'll also learn the power of personal attention.

Transition to higher professional education

With a diploma, you'll be well-prepared to progress to higher professional education or find work. With the theoretical knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit, and practical skills you've gained during the Recruiter program, you can confidently take every next step.

What are you becoming?

You can work as a recruiter, intermediary, or HR professional at various companies. Examples include temporary employment agencies, recruitment and selection agencies, or a company's HR department. You'll advise companies on their staffing needs. You'll collaborate with the client and the candidate to ensure a good match. Drafting job descriptions, searching and matching candidates, interviewing candidates, and acquiring new assignments are all part of your daily duties. You'll capitalize on market opportunities and know how to place the right candidate.

This course offers excellent preparation in the subjects of business economics, management, labor law, marketing and sales to successfully progress to, for example, higher professional education courses in Commercial Economics, HRM and Business Administration.

What does your education look like?

The first year is a foundation year of commerce, in which you will follow classes together with students from the Business Administration, Commercial Employee, and Junior Account Manager programs.

Practical assignments form the foundation of the program. You'll learn professional skills through lectures, workshops, group learning, or independent study. You'll work on these assignments for regional companies in the commercial center. Your learning process could include coaching during telephone sales, guidance in market research, or even pitching your results to your client. This effective learning method offers ample opportunities to adapt to your learning style.

During this challenging program, you'll be challenged to come up with creative solutions. You'll learn sales and influencing techniques by applying your commercial and financial knowledge. The program combines an internship (from year 2 onwards) and school. You can find a suitable internship yourself.

The study years consist of: 15% elective subjects, 35% profile subjects, 50% basic subjects.
