Recruitment Partner to DanChurchAid (Folkekirkens Nødhjælp), Copenhagen

Are you eager to be part of saving lives, building resilient communities, and fighting extreme inequality? We are looking for a dedicated and dynamic Recruitment Partner to join our Team in DanChurchAid in Copenhagen. DanChurchAid (DCA) is an organization based on Christian values with an open and inclusive approach to everyone irrespectively of faith or beliefs and culture.

As our new Recruitment Partner it is key that you can find, attract, engage, and welcome with the required talent for both our Head Office and international positions (expats) in all our Country Offices. You will be responsible for sourcing, screening, and developing the hiring process together with a collaborative and supportive team of specialists, HR Partners and DCA leaders. Our team members come from various backgrounds and bring unique perspectives, creating a rich and inclusive work environment. We believe in the power of teamwork and encourage open communication, mutual respect, and shared goals.

This is a new role here in DCA, as recruitment has traditionally been an integrated part of the HR Partner role. While HR Partners will continue to support selected recruitments and provide sparring with leaders on needs assessment, this dedicated Recruitment Partner position will allow you to focus on both the outgoing elements of the job and the process-oriented aspects. You will have the opportunity to optimize the recruitment process, aiming to attract the most relevant candidates to apply with DCA.

You will report to the Head of HR, Camilla Plesner Nielsen, and we emphasize a good work environment, where we appreciate a good laugh and value professional feedback. It is important for us that a Recruitment Partner is a trusted partner who contributes to a good collaboration both within the HR team and the rest of the organization. We rely on each other and act as one team to support the entire organization, in particular during these current challenging geopolitical situations.

It is important that you bring an international mindset and are ready to support the global DCA – both from Head Office and, if the situation requires it, by visiting our Country Offices. Though this is not foreseen as an integrated part of the job, your flexibility and readiness to engage with our global operations will be highly valued.
