• Would you be a perfect fit for a young, vibrant Dutch/German team?
• Do you want to work in a dynamic design office in Cologne?

About Parakar

Parakar Europe offers a wide spectrum of service solutions, all on the employment-management side of international businesses. Our focus is on outsourced payroll accounting and HR management, work permit processing for highly skilled migrants or local Relocation Services.

We currently operate from Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany and our clients are located around the globe- from Sydney to Hong-Kong and Los Angeles. For them we provide employment services, making sure that their employees can start on assignments in the designated countries care- free. Same applies to foreign employees starting at local German companies.

Due to our strong growth over the past year, we are searching for team members for our Cologne office. Preferred start date: As soon as possible. We offer a very flexible working environment, including the option to occasionally work from home.

About our vacancy

You analyse, advise and manage the different contextual views and expectations on labour law, employment terms and conditions, as well as benefit packages whilst connecting with our foreign clients and local employees. You pragmatically work to bring them together in the form of compliant, manageable and mutually satisfactory employment solutions.

A typical day might include:

• Advising foreign clients on how we can translate their sometimes out of the ordinary employment requirements into compliant local implementations, often in cooperation with our tax advisors or lawyers
• Planning projects with your teammates, often communicating via Skype, as we work closely with our team in Breda, Netherlands
• Learning all there is to know on German employment relationships- after a year with us you will be a HR Pro, guaranteed (if you are not already one)
• Supporting bank account openings, setting up health insurance and settling-down processes- you interact with all the stakeholders

This is your job if

• you are self-driven and willing to learn all about the often-complex payroll and immigration regulations or the tax system
• you are attentive to details, regarding work, tasks and loose ends, and act pro- actively on things that could be improved, rather than complain
• given the global time zones our clients work in and the multinational and -cultural background of our clients or employees, your flexibility and empathy have no borders
• you are fluent in English (the company’s language) and German, both spoken and written

You might ideally also

• be able to communicate in a 3rd language
• have some sort of international business background, by education or from experience and are willing to strongly increase that- job experience is not necessarily required!

Yes, give me the job!

Send us your CV in English and a short explanation on why you see yourself qualified and motivated for the position as well as your possible start date and salary expectation in German. Please send your e-mail to Marisa Werle via marisa@parakar.eu.

• Would you be a perfect fit for a young, vibrant, fast growing pan-European team?
• Working in the dynamic context of Global Employment Outsourcing?

About Parakar 

The Parakar Group is an employment services organisation offering a wide spectrum of solutions in the domain of globally outsourced HR- and payroll management. We offer solutions to companies and individuals to compliantly engage in employment relationships that not only cross geographical borders and cultures, but also help bridge statutory and employment-legal context. Our services range from outsourced employment management, including International HR- and payroll accounting, work permit process management to relocation services, among others.

Our clients, based on all continents, want to employ staff in Spain or another EU country. For these clients we provide ‘Employer of Record’ (EOR)-services, making sure that their employees can care free and compliantly work for them, also in countries where they do not have their own establishment. For the employees, we make sure they are properly taken care of in their country of work, even though their formal employer is based abroad, often on another continent.

We have 20 years of experience in this domain, and in the past 4 years our business has 10-folded in every aspect. In 2019 we aim – due to customer demand – to start our business in 3 new countries, one of them being Spain.

To help kickstart and grow our operations in Spain we are now searching for an experienced International Human Resource & Payroll Consultant, to be based in Barcelona or Madrid.

About the job

Ultimately, you will be responsible for managing all our Spanish HR & payroll services for our mostly non-European client companies. You will advise and help them translate their foreign HR policies into employment agreements with their selected employees in Spain. Acting as our client’s HR-department in Spain, you will make sure the employees feel equally at home with us, as they would be with any local employer.

Also, you will advise and actively support our clients and their expats in all relevant aspects of labour related immigration, work- and residence permits and relocation.

You will be a solid sparring partner for our management and colleagues around Europe, in the field of international HR management and employment outsourcing. You will work closely with colleagues from our headquarters in Netherlands and subsidiaries in various other European countries, as well as with strategic business partners in all time zones around the globe. You will also be our interface to our Spanish business partners in the domain of payroll, accounting and legal. 

About you

This is your job if you hold a relevant bachelor’s degree or have the equivalent experience and mind set.

You are a practical expert in Spain’s employment law, and have multiple years of experience as HR specialist, ideally in the domain of flexible, contracted or indirect employment (ETT, Professional Employment Outsourcing) or in contractor/consulting services.

Our ideal candidate is an expert in the field of Spain’s laws and regulations regarding flexible/indirect employment, payroll and work permits. You have a full understanding of the entire employment lifecycle in all its aspects, and are able to implement and manage these.

Alternatively, you would be suitable if you can look back on multiple years of work experience in one or more of these domains, and have the ambition to become an expert in all of them the future.

You are attentive to process and detail regarding your work, tasks given to you and tying up loose ends. Dealing with multiple HR tasks simultaneously does not impose a problem on you. Your mindset is open and flexible enough to familiarize yourself with processes that may be very different than you were used to. Moreover, you act pro- actively on things that could be improved.

You have an excellent command of the Spanish and English languages, both spoken and written (ESSENTIAL!).

Given our global work environment and the multicultural backgrounds that you would be dealing with daily, it is important that your flexibility and empathy know no limits.

Our offer

• An above-average salary.  
• A very motivated and pleasant working atmosphere.  
• An initial training in our existing operations in Netherlands and/or Germany.  
• A lot of international contacts and frequent exchanges with / travel to the other offices.  
• The option to become the leader of the team in Spain that we hope you can help us grow.   
• All the means and facilities you need to properly do your job (office space, mobile phone, laptop).

Yes, give me the job!

Send us your CV in English and a motivation letter in Spanish, explaining why you see yourself the best qualified and motivated candidate for the position. Don’t forget to mention your possible starting date, and feel free to mention your expectations.
