About the Role: We're looking for an ambitious and self-driven NATO Technical Recruiter to join our growing Defence Recruitment Practice.

This is not a standard IT recruitment role. You'll work on highly specialized NATO and defence-related vacancies, sourcing niche technical professionals across Europe for projects involving cybersecurity, cloud, software engineering, SAP, infrastructure, AI, and digital transformation.

If you enjoy tackling challenging searches, building relationships with top-tier professionals, and working in a fast-paced international environment, this role is for you.

This position starts as a commission-only opportunity with uncapped earning potential. Recruiters who consistently deliver strong results may be offered a long-term position with a fixed base salary in addition to performance-based incentives.

Responsibilities:

• Source and identify highly qualified candidates for NATO, defence, cybersecurity, engineering, SAP, cloud, infrastructure, and software development roles.
• Build and maintain strong talent pipelines across NATO member countries.
• Conduct candidate screening interviews to evaluate technical background, motivation, and suitability.
• Verify candidate eligibility, nationality requirements, security clearance status, and availability for NATO projects.
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing through offer acceptance.
• Coordinate interviews between candidates and clients.
• Maintain regular communication with candidates throughout the recruitment process, ensuring an excellent candidate experience.
• Collaborate closely with Account Managers and Delivery teams to successfully fulfill client requirements.
• Proactively build talent pools for future opportunities.
• Keep candidate information accurate and up to date in the ATS.

We are happy to hear from you if you have:

• At least 1–2 years of experience in recruitment, preferably within an agency environment.
• Strong sourcing and headhunting skills with the ability to identify and engage both active and passive candidates.
• Confidence in approaching passive candidates and building long-term relationships.
• Strong communication and interviewing skills.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple vacancies simultaneously.
• A proactive, resourceful, and results-driven mindset.
• High attention to detail and the ability to work independently.
• Comfortable working in a performance-driven, commission-based environment.
• Fluent English (C1 or above).

What we offer:

• Uncapped commission structure with excellent earning potential.
• Opportunity to transition into a long-term position with a fixed base salary based on consistent performance and business needs.
• Fully remote work.
• Flexible working hours.
• Work on prestigious international NATO and defence projects.
• Access to exclusive technical vacancies across Europe.
• Full training and onboarding into NATO recruitment processes and security clearance requirements.
• Supportive, collaborative, and experienced recruitment team.
• Opportunity to become an expert in one of the fastest-growing and most specialized recruitment markets.
