Working Student Recruiting - German speaking

Students

In a nutshell

Our Recruitment team plays a crucial role in finding top talent worldwide and persuading them to join Picnic. If you have excellent communication skills, thrive on identifying the right profiles, and know how to get candidates excited about unique challenges, we want to hear from you! Understanding the profiles we seek is key, as finding the right people is vital to our success. As a working student, you get the opportunity to join our Analytics Recruitment team, while also supporting initiatives for full-time hiring in our Düsseldorf office—helping with events, sourcing, and occasionally traveling to German universities or our office in Düsseldorf. We are looking for someone who can support our team for at least 16-20 hours a week (the more the merrier).

Tricks of the trade

Collaboration: You'll work closely with our recruiters and various internal teams to understand the specific requirements for open positions

Sourcing: Using LinkedIn Search and other search techniques, you'll actively look for potential candidates and approach them to explore opportunities at Picnic

Strategy: You'll support the team with creative strategies that help build the talent pipelines with unique talent

Innovation: You'll bring fresh ideas and provide valuable input to enhance our talent pipeline processes and improve overall recruitment outcomes

For example, every year at Picnic we organize a Business Course event for potential Analyst candidates (see video here). In 2025, it could be YOU the one recruiting for it, together with the support of our Analytics Recruitment team.
