Location: Leicester, Leicestershire, UK

Sprechen sie deutsch? Whether you're looking to start a career in HR, or you're an experienced HR or Recruitment administrator, we'd love to hear from you.


We're shaking up our approach to recruitment in 2012, and taking a Europe-wide approach to finding great talent to join the PepsiCo family. That's where you come in. We're planning on having a team of Co-ordinators, who'll work together across international borders to provide a full recruitment administration service.


You will be mainly focused on the UK and Germany, although you might have to pitch in to support your team-mates with their client groups. You'll create and post new adverts, screen CVs, deal with queries from candidates and managers, arrange interviews, plan assessment centres, administer psychometric tests, create new offers, provide feedback to candidates, and co-ordinate onboarding activities for new hires… It's going to be busy!



  • Support European Talent Acquisition Advisors and Managers with recruitment activity across Europe, with a primary focus on the UK and Germany

  • Create and post new vacancies to internal and external sourcing channels

  • Manage candidate data throughout the hiring lifecycle within our Applicant Tracking System (Kenexa)

  • Some basic sourcing and screening, including CV database and web searching

  • Use stakeholder management and discretion to schedule assessments with PepsiCo managers, often in remote locations across Europe

  • Help facilitate assessment events, by providing a friendly welcome to visiting candidates, and ensuring they have a great experience during their time with us

  • Online and real time psychometric test administration for candidates (training will be provided)

  • Ensure that all candidates receive timely and constructive feedback on the status of their application

  • Create and manage all offer and contract paperwork for all new hire

  • Co-ordinate any pre-employment checks for all new hires

  • Provide onboarding support, e.g. regular contact during notice period, customised product boxes

  • Ensure that Employee Referral payments are processed quickly and accurately


What you'll need:



  • Ideally, some experience of working in a mid to high volume recruitment administration role

  • Ability to demonstrate how you've delivered fantastic customer service for internal or external stakeholders

  • Excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office

  • Professional but friendly telephone manner

  • A strong interest in developing a career in HR or Recruitment

  • Some exposure to applicant tracking systems would be helpful, but training will be provided

  • Experience of co-ordinating off-site events, often in international locations

  • The ability to multi-task and handle competing priorities

  • Flexibility to work beyond 9am-5pm on occasions

  • Fluency in English and German are essential. Russian, French, Spanish, Dutch or Italian would be particularly useful.
