HR Manager

About Pantar

Our client, Pantar, is a vibrant and diverse organization that does not view a disability as a limitation. Pantar is a social enterprise with significant social relevance and value. It is an ordinary company with extraordinary employees. That is where their strength lies. They provide employment, support, and a strong focus on professional development to over 3,000 colleagues with disabilities.

They have a base in Amsterdam and Diemen. A base that, for some, even feels like a safe home. We realize that work is incredibly important. We believe that meaningful work contributes to a dignified life. Pantar creates value through work by welcoming people, offering training and work opportunities, and boosting self-esteem.

Pantar is a place where people work with joy, fulfillment, and passion. A place where learning and making mistakes go hand in hand. A place where people take big or small steps—and sometimes a step back. A place where you grow by seeing others grow.

At Pantar, people truly thrive—whether for the first time or once again. Whether they were accountants, successful entrepreneurs, or had been at home due to circumstances. What unites them is that we do it together. That we care about one another and are passionate about our work. As an HR Manager at this organization, you’ll make a real impact while developing your own talents at the same time.
