HR Advisor (temporary position)

Introduction

Due to a temporary gap in our HR team, we are looking for an HR Advisor to support the team on a temporary basis. In this role, you will work closely with other members of the HR team, including an HR Advisor and an HR Officer. 

In this role, you will play a key role in a salary re-benchmarking process and the review of job architecture within RSM BV. You will work closely with the HR team to ensure a structured and well-informed approach. Depending on your profile and availability, the role can be complemented with a limited number of broader HR advisory activities.

This is a hands-on role for an HR professional who enjoys responsibility, collaboration and contributing to meaningful people initiatives in a dynamic, international environment.

Given the team setup and scope of the role, we have a preference for candidates available for temporary employment. Freelance candidates are welcome to apply; however, please note that we work with fixed, project-based fees rather than open-ended hourly arrangements. We kindly ask you to include your proposed project fee and availability in your application.

• Providing HR advisory support across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding and general employee queries
• Contributing to the Performance & Development cycle
• Supporting improvements in HR processes, policies and internal documentation
• Supporting HR projects and system-related work where relevant; including initiatives related to L&D and organisational development

Job requirements

In order to be successful in this role, you:

• Have solid HR experience, gained through relevant education and work experience

• Have approximately 3–5 years’ experience in a broad HR role
• Are analytically strong and comfortable working with data and translating insights into practical recommendations
• Are able to work independently and structure your own work within a defined scope
• Communicate clearly and professionally in English (Dutch is a plus)
