After reviewing other functions in the business, the HR leader is then responsible for looking at their own department. This may mean that an interim executive is a more suitable choice for such roles. In particular, businesses are looking for HR professionals with strong change or project management skills, alongside experience of working with works councils or unions. Since January, we’ve seen strong demand for the following positions: Senior HR Director Global Talent Management Lead VPHR (Interim) If you’re an interim professional, there is a wealth of opportunities in larger firms. For those seeking permanent roles, positions at mid-sized organizations are showing signs of growth.

Procurement & Supply Chain In a market shaped by ongoing supply chain disruption, tariff pressures, and continued economic uncertainty, organizations across the Netherlands are increasingly seeking Procurement & Supply Chain professionals who can strengthen operational resilience, drive efficiency, and support ongoing digital and structural transformation. In the first half of the year, we experienced particularly high demand for the following roles: Procurement Lead Senior Consultant - Procurement Logistics & Operations Coordinator Category Manager Logistics Logistics IT Specialist Across these positions, employers are prioritizing capabilities such as strong stakeholder management, digital and systems expertise (particularly within Logistics and Supply Chain technology), resilience in fast-changing environments, and the ability to identify inefficiencies and drive process improvement. We continue to see organizations using this period as an opportunity to review and refine Supply Chain structures, close capability gaps, and invest in both operational and digital transformation. We work with a strong network of Procurement & Supply Chain professionals across the Netherlands. If you’re currently looking for talent in this area, please get in touch to discuss your team’s specific needs: hannah.mallia@emearecruitment.com Tools to support your recruitment process During periods of change or growth, it’s essential that your recruitment partner gets to know you and your business to form a deep understanding of your unique company culture. This is why an exclusive arrangement may work most effectively. In fact, we’ve seen an uptick in clients choosing to work with us on an exclusive basis over the past quarter, which enables us to act as a trusted partner in the hiring process. Some of the key benefits of this approach include: Access to passive candidates Save time with an efficient process Improve your employer brand Increase confidence among prospective employees Reduce the risk of a bad hire More information about this model is available at: https://www.emearecruitment.com/pages/exclusive-services We’re also pleased to announce that we are now a certified provider of Hogan Assessment, which is a psychometric testing tool that is trusted by 75% of Fortune 500 companies. When you bring senior talent into your organization, you want to be assured that they will not only bring the technical skills required for the role, but that their personality will fit with the culture of the wider team – especially during periods of change. A Hogan Assessment can give you a better insight into what an individual’s approach to change might be, to help you make a more informed decision.

This is reflected in the rising need for strategic leadership in Finance, the growing influence of HR as a transformation partner, and a notable increase in project-based hiring across Procurement & Supply Chain. Finance & Accountancy As businesses face volatility and cost pressure, leaders need financial expertise that expands beyond technical skillsets, to drive better forecasting, efficiency, and strategic decision making. In addition, Switzerland’s position as an EMEA/global hub demands senior professionals who have regional and cross-functional expertise. From January to April, the top three roles that organizations needed our support with covered: VP Finance EMEA Head of FP&A Supply Chain Finance Manager As new businesses continue to move into Switzerland and soft skills remain more important than ever, competition is high.

Human Resources As HR moves away from purely supporting the business into a critical function for growth and transformation, demand in Switzerland has soared for professionals with strategic competencies. At a time when organizations are addressing economic volatility through process improvement projects and transformation initiatives, they’re asking themselves whether they have the right people in the right seats to drive this change – and this all starts with having high-caliber HR leaders in place.

Procurement & Supply Chain In the face of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, businesses are strengthening their supply chains through process redesign, system implementations, transformation programs, and resilience work. Coupled with investment in energy and infrastructure projects, this is creating demand for professionals who can manage more than just business-as-usual operations. Employers are looking for those with experience leading large-scale projects or transformations, with a shift from steady operational hiring to implementation-heavy skillsets. This has resulted in particular demand for the following roles: Senior Category Manager Direct Supply Chain Project Manager Supply Chain Managers from EPC environments Program Management Office (PMO) Director If you’re currently looking for talent in this area, please get in touch to discuss your team’s specific needs. Job adverts no longer reliable for delivering top talent Increasingly, employers are approaching us after unsuccessfully placing advertisements for their roles and not seeing the results. Although there is a sufficient volume of talent on the market, finding the balance of hard and soft skills matches for the role and organization is proving more challenging. When we speak to businesses about their needs, we typically find that they’re actually looking for niche requirements within the profile – even if the job description seems broad on paper. For this reason, it’s essential that organizations find a candidate with the best culture match, alongside the relevant skills and experience. Headhunting within the passive talent market is the most effective method for ensuring a strong fit between the job seeker and the role. This means that it’s not always the candidates who are actively seeking a new position who will be successful. In fact, 94% of the roles that we filled during Q1 were with candidates who were in work; we actively headhunted them for particular assignments.
