The Role

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Senior Recruiter who enjoys combining end-to-end recruitment with proactive sourcing and wants to work within a fast-paced, international environment.

As part of the AMS Recruitment Team, you’ll partner with Renault, a global leader in the automotive and mobility sector, supporting recruitment primarily across the French market.

You’ll manage a varied portfolio of vacancies, with a strong focus on engineering and technical roles, including areas such as software, electrical and battery engineering. Previous experience recruiting within automotive or engineering is not essential; however, exposure to technical or technology recruitment would be a strong advantage.

A significant part of the role will involve proactive sourcing. You’ll use your knowledge of the French talent market and sourcing expertise to identify both active and passive candidates, build strong talent pipelines and ensure Hiring Managers have access to high-quality talent.

You’ll also act as a trusted recruitment partner to Hiring Managers, providing market insight, managing expectations and constructively challenging requirements where needed.  

Key Accountabilities

• Lead the end-to-end recruitment process, from intake and sourcing through to interview management and verbal offer.
• Develop and execute effective sourcing strategies to identify and engage active and passive talent.
• Build and maintain strong talent pipelines, particularly across engineering and technical disciplines.
• Deliver high-quality candidate shortlists within agreed timelines and recruitment priorities.
• Partner closely with Hiring Managers to understand hiring requirements, define candidate profiles and agree recruitment strategies.
• Provide Hiring Managers with relevant talent market insights and advise on candidate availability and recruitment approaches.
• Manage stakeholder expectations and confidently challenge requirements where appropriate.
• Facilitate the interview and selection process, ensuring a positive and consistent candidate experience.
• Work effectively across a varied and changing portfolio of vacancies, adapting to fluctuations in hiring demand.
• Follow agreed recruitment processes and ensure accurate and timely completion of required recruitment activities and documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve recruitment delivery while operating within established client processes.
• Maintain accurate candidate and recruitment information within the ATS.

Skills & Requirements

• Strong experience managing end-to-end recruitment processes.
• Full professional working proficiency in French and English.
• Good understanding of the French talent market and recruitment landscape.
• Strong proactive sourcing skills, with experience identifying and engaging passive candidates.
• Experience recruiting within technology, technical or engineering environments would be a strong advantage, but is not essential.
• Ability to manage multiple vacancies and changing priorities within a fast-paced recruitment environment.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to advise, negotiate and constructively challenge Hiring Managers.
• A resilient and adaptable approach when working with different stakeholder styles and expectations.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work effectively within structured recruitment processes.
• Practical, solutions-focused approach with strong communication and organisational skills.
