Recruiter (French Speaker)

OverviewThis opportunity has been created through the natural evolution of our team, as an internal move creates space for a new Recruiter to join Subsea7 within our Global Project Centre East (GPC East). Spanning a diverse region from Portugal to Australia and supporting stakeholders across four continents, the role sits at the heart of complex, high-impact projects. You will manage a broad recruitment portfolio, from graduate and early-career intake through to senior management roles, offering exposure to hiring at every level of the organisation.

At Subsea7, Recruiters play a pivotal role in building top-quality teams. This position offers true ownership of the recruitment life cycle - partnering closely with business leaders to define critical hiring needs, proactively sourcing candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter and direct engagement, guiding candidates and stakeholders through selection, and ultimately bringing exceptional people into the business. Acting as a trusted adviser and ambassador for Subsea7, the Recruiter shapes hiring outcomes, builds resilient talent pipelines, and helps position Subsea7 as one of the most respected places to build a global career.

We are open to locating this role in more than one Subsea7 office, including Lisbon, Cairo, or Paris. Contractual arrangements will depend on the chosen location and will be discussed later in the recruitment process.
