Make an impact on the energy transition as an MSP IT Consultant at HeadFirst Group
Do you want to work at the intersection of talent, technology, and social impact? And does a role where you see the immediate results of your work in IT teams that help move the Netherlands forward energize you? As an MSP IT Consultant at HeadFirst Group, you’ll play a key role within one of our largest client environments in the energy sector: Alliander. In this environment, you’ll ensure that IT projects—ranging from software development to data and cloud—always have access to the right external specialists.
You’ll be working in an environment where speed and quality go hand in hand. No two days are the same: you’ll be constantly switching between requests, candidates, and stakeholders. Thanks to your experience with IT recruitment and external hiring, you know exactly how to find and attract scarce talent in the market.

You’re in daily contact with hiring managers, vendors, and independent professionals, so you know exactly what’s going on. Thanks to your knowledge of IT profiles, you quickly grasp the details of a request and translate them into concrete matches. At the same time, you work on multiple requests and effortlessly maintain an overview. You keep a close eye on deadlines, adapt quickly when priorities shift, and ensure that all stakeholders stay on board. This is how you make a difference in speed, quality, and collaboration. In addition, you actively contribute ideas on how to streamline processes, but your greatest strength lies in delivering results: strong matches and satisfied stakeholders.

Manage multiple IT requests across areas such as software development, data, and cloud;
Processing requests via the MSP platform and ensuring prompt and efficient follow-up;
