At ICMPD, we build evidence-driven migration policy options and governance systems that engage and equip our partners with effective, forward-looking responses and pragmatic solutions to complex regional migration and mobility challenges. For us, recruitment is more than filling vacancies: it helps bring together motivated and dedicated professionals whose expertise and commitment support the organisation in delivering its mission.
Against this background, we are looking for a committed Recruitment Officer who brings initiative, sound judgement and innovative approaches to attracting and engaging talented professionals in a complex and evolving environment.
The Recruitment Officer serves as the lead recruitment adviser within the HR team and works closely with hiring managers and relevant stakeholders to translate staffing needs, operational constraints and role requirements into recruitment approaches that are compliant, efficient and responsive to operational needs. Reporting to the Head of Human Resources Management, the role provides proactive, solutions-oriented advice throughout the recruitment lifecycle, including recruitment planning, vacancy preparation, candidate assessment, selection processes and onboarding coordination. The Recruitment Officer also guides the development, adaptation and application of job profiles to ensure alignment with functional needs and organisational standards.
The Recruitment Officer uses available tools and technology to support proactive outreach and applicant attraction efforts, improve process efficiency and promote a consistent candidate and hiring manager experience, in line with established procedures and oversight arrangements. Drawing on operational experience and recruitment data, the role identifies trends, risks, skills gaps and recurring challenges, and helps feed insights and lessons learned into the continuous improvement of recruitment practices, guidance and tools, in coordination with HR management.
The role includes supervision of assigned recruitment staff and may require travel to ICMPD field locations.
