Are you an analytical problem-solver who thrives on smart automations, structure, and seamless scheduling? Become Picnic's new Recruitment Operations Coordinator. As an Operations Coordinator, you ensure that our recruitment team of 25 recruiters can perform at their best. You manage the central daily planning for the hiring team, build clever automations in our software (including Fountain and Aircall), and safeguard the quality of the recruitment process. In doing so, you streamline the intake of our Shoppers, who pick orders in the FCs, and our Runners, who handle deliveries from our Hubs. Thanks to your data-driven approach and system administration, the recruitment process runs at lightning speed and peak efficiency.
Tricks of the tradeBuilding smart schedules: You are responsible for the central daily planning of our 25 recruiters. You ensure that the right people are always answering calls, conducting interviews, or updating administrative tasks at any given moment.
Optimising the candidate experience: A sudden spike in incoming calls? You track wait times in real time and quickly bring in extra team members to help, ensuring every applicant is assisted within 30 seconds.
Owning tools and systems: You are the main point of contact for our software and platforms (such as Fountain, Aircall, and Google Sheets). If an issue arises or a process can be improved, you troubleshoot it and configure the system properly.
Saving time through smart solutions: You come up with creative ways to cut down manual work, such as self-scheduling tools for applicants or automated chat functions to answer FAQs.
Tracking data and reporting: You closely follow an applicant's journey from first registration to their first week on the job. With your clear overviews, other supervisors know exactly where the recruitment pipeline stands.
Managing compliance and documentation: You ensure all candidate paperwork (such as work permits, ID verification, and privacy regulations) is in order and fully compliant with the law.
Seamless collaboration: You align daily with the team’s two supervisors. While they coach the recruiters and visit operational sites, you keep the entire operation running smoothly behind the scenes.

What We Do
At Picnic, we’re revolutionizing the way people buy groceries. Our affordable and sustainable service is made possible by our passionate people, cutting-edge technology, efficient planning, and, of course, our fleet of iconic electric vehicles! It’s why our customer base is growing rapidly across the Netherlands, Germany, and France. One of the things that makes Picnic different is that we handle almost everything in-house: forecasting, developing our first automated warehouse and new electric Picnic vehicles, internal and customer-facing applications—the list goes on. It gives us more freedom when it comes to trying out new and innovative ideas, which is something we do a lot! We love to challenge ourselves and learn new things. Our teams have access to various meetups, language classes, ‘Lunch & Learn’ sessions, our very own Tech Academy, and tailored soft-skills training. Professional development is as important to us as the service we provide to our customers. As a diverse team made up of over 80 nationalities, there are always plenty of activities to get involved with, whether you’re into sports, board games, charitable causes, dancing (at our legendary Picnic festival), or licorice tasting—yes, even that! Our scale-up culture means you get to own your role and bring fresh ideas to the table. So, if you’re looking for an opportunity to make a real difference, get in touch—we’d love to hear from you.
