ABOUT US

Baskèts Retail at Schiphol

In November 2026, Baskèts opens a new 500 m² location at Schiphol Airport, where retail and hospitality come together.

Baskèts is a premium lifestyle retailer rooted in Amsterdam. Across our stores and online platform, we curate a sharp edit of sneakers, clothing, accessories and lifestyle products, combining product, inspiration and experience in one place.

At Schiphol, we bring our urban concept to the airport. Baskèts at Schiphol blends our retail formula with a travel-ready assortment: travel essentials, leisure & performance gear, and premium souvenirs. Alongside the store, we're opening a new Café Baskèts serving all-day coffee, juices, and bar bites. The neighborhood hangout feeling, now at the airport.

We're looking for an enthusiastic team to help build this location from day one. Interested in joining an ambitious retail team at Schiphol? Check out the open positions below.

Open positions

Human Resource Employee (PT)

We are looking for a Human Resources Officer to build and run the complete HR function for Schiphol over the next seven months. This is not a role for a staffing agency taking over the project. We need someone who takes ownership and drives it forward.

The first phase is all about building: creating a working recruitment pipeline, getting the team ready for opening and setting up all administrative systems properly. The next phase is about embedding these processes: managing contracts, coordinating Schiphol onboarding and providing day-to-day HR support for a new team at an airport with its own rules and procedures.

You work closely with the Retail Manager and F&B Manager and report directly to the management team.

What you will do

Hiring and onboarding
  • You support the hiring and recruitment phase by screening candidates, scheduling interviews and staying in contact with applicants.
  • You guide every new employee through the Schiphol approval process, including the Schiphol pass application, security screening and airport onboarding.
  • You track everyone's progress and make sure no one falls behind ahead of the opening.
HR administration
  • You prepare employment contracts and process contract extensions.
  • You manage payroll administration in collaboration with the accountant.
  • You set up the HR systems, including the recruitment pipeline in Notion.
  • You are the first point of contact for employees with practical HR questions.

What you bring

  • At least three years of relevant HR or recruitment experience, preferably in retail, hospitality or a similar environment.
  • You are used to working independently. You do not wait for a handbook, you write it yourself.
  • Strong organisational skills. You can manage several processes at once without letting anything slip.
  • An affinity with the world of Baskèts: premium retail, fashion, experience and high standards of service.
  • You live in or around Amsterdam.
  • You are available full-time, at least until the end of March 2027.

What we offer

  • A competitive salary.
  • Employee discount on our full product range.
  • The opportunity to work in an environment where fashion, sneakers and hospitality come together.
  • Daily exposure to a carefully selected mix of premium brands and Baskèts products.
  • Opportunities to develop yourself and grow within Baskèts.
  • A young, enthusiastic and social team.
  • A Baskèts outfit to wear during your shifts.
  • Access to brand activations, events and other initiatives organised by Baskèts and our brand partners.
