International Human Resource & Payroll Consultant France, Cologne or Paris

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 laws in a legal context. Our services range from outsourced employment management, including International HR- and payroll accounting, work permit process management to relocation services, and much more.

Our clients, based on all continents, want to employ staff in France or another EU country. For these clients, we provide Employer of Record services, making sure that their employees can carefree 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 France.

To help kickstart and grow our operations in France we are now searching for an experienced International Human Resource & Payroll Consultant, to be based in either the Paris region or Cologne, Germany.

International Human Resource & Payroll Consultant France

Are you the perfect fit for a young, vibrant, fast growing pan-European team?
Are you passionate about working in the dynamic context of Global Employment Outsourcing?

THE JOB

Ultimately, you will be responsible for managing all our French 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 France. Acting as our client’s HR-department in France, 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 The 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 French business partners in the domain of payroll, accounting and legal matters.

YOU

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

You are a practical expert in France’s employment law and have working experience as a HR specialist, ideally in the domain of flexible, contracted or indirect employment (Portage, Interim, Professional Employment Outsourcing, Temp work) or in contractor/consulting services.

Our ideal candidate knows the French 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 can implement and manage these.

Alternatively, you would be suitable, if you can reflect 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 in the future.

You are attentive to processes and minute details regarding your work, as well as your tasks given to you, and you know how to tie up loose ends. Dealing with multiple HR tasks simultaneously does not impose a problem for you. Your mindset is open and flexible enough to familiarize yourself with processes that may be very different than those which you were used to. Moreover, you act pro-actively on internal processes which could be improved.

You have an excellent command of the French and English languages, both spoken and written.

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.
