Join our growing team at WD Europe B.V.!

WD Europe B.V. is a fast-growing company in the logistics sector, and we are looking for a motivated HR Assistant to support our HR function.

• Explaining HR policies, payslips and Dutch employment practices to colleagues in Dutch, English or Chinese.
• Translating HR communications and documents between Dutch, English and Chinese where needed.
• Helping organise team-building activities, training sessions and company events.
