Global Recruitment Specialist – Xelvin Maia

Be part of Xelvin’s international expansion — right from the heart of Portugal.

In early 2025, Xelvin officially set foot in Maia, Portugal. From this exciting new base, we’re building something ambitious:

• A remote engineering hub powered by top technical talent from Portugal and Brazil.
• A recruitment team dedicated to inspiring and guiding Portuguese professionals toward careers in the Netherlands.

As a Global Talent Acquisition Specialist, you’ll play a key role in both missions. You’ll source, engage, and support skilled professionals ready to take the next step — either remotely from Maia or
- site in the Netherlands.

We already have a beautiful office in Maia where you'll work alongside an international team. Please note: while our local entity in Portugal is in the final setup phase, this role will initially start on a freelance basis.

What you’ll do

• Proactively source technical talent across Portugal, Brazil, Spain, and beyond using platforms, sourcing tools, and your own network.
• Conduct interviews and assess candidates based on motivation, skills, and international ambitions.
• Guide candidates through the entire journey — from first contact to relocation to the Netherlands or integration into our Maia-based remote team.
• Work closely with our teams in the Netherlands, acting as a strategic recruitment, sales, and marketing partner.
• Contribute actively to the development and success of Xelvin Maia with your ideas, energy, and initiative.

What you bring

• Experience in (international) recruitment or talent acquisition, ideally with technical or niche profiles.
• Fluency in Portuguese and English; Spanish and/or Dutch is a great plus.
• You’re independent,
  - driven, and thrive in a multicultural,
  - paced environment.
• You take a personal and proactive approach to building relationships with candidates.
• You're based in (or willing to relocate to) Maia or the Greater Porto Area.

What we offer

• A unique opportunity to shape the growth of an international recruitment hub from the ground up.
• A modern and welcoming office in Maia, surrounded by passionate professionals from Portugal, the Netherlands, and South Africa.
• Lots of space for your ideas, ownership, and professional development.
• The chance to work across borders and cultures, with people who believe in purpose and craftsmanship.
• Training, team events, and
  - term growth opportunities within Xelvin.

- first mindset and bold international ambitions. From our offices in the Netherlands and now Portugal, we connect technical professionals to leading companies. We believe in personal attention,
