  • Manage recruitment processes with efficiency and accuracy, from job advertisements to interview coordination.
  • Oversee the recruitment inbox, responding to candidate inquiries promptly.
  • Collaborate with the People Support team to ensure smooth onboarding processes.
  • Track onboarding progress and address any issues to create a seamless candidate experience.
  • Work closely with Recruitment Specialists to align on priorities and sourcing strategies.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong networking and communication skills to build relationships with candidates and stakeholders.
  • A highly proactive mindset with a drive to take ownership of tasks.
  • Exceptional organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively.
  • Adaptable and calm under pressure, thriving in changing priorities.
  • Knowledge of Boolean search techniques and experience with applicant tracking systems (ATS).
  • Customer-focused approach, ensuring an excellent candidate experience.

Essential Requirements:

  • Maths & English Level 2 (or equivalent).
  • Previous experience in recruitment administration or candidate sourcing.
