Public Sector Recruiter

Lets be honest... If youve worked in agency recruitment, you know the drill. * Constant business development * Chasing clients * Chasing candidates * Unrealistic KPIs * Endless pressure to bring in new jobs You probably still enjoy recruitment. You just dont enjoy everything that comes with it. Thats exactly where this role is different Who we are: Conscia Talent operates in a space that most recruitment agencies struggle to navigate successfully - public sector recruitment. Its: * Structured * Professional * Compliance-driven * Outcome-focused Were one of the few CPSA-accredited recruitment businesses in Ireland, delivering: * 98% fill rates * Long-term client partnerships * Repeat business built on delivery * Recruitment campaigns that genuinely make a difference The traditional agency model?We dont operate in it. The Role This is a recruitment delivery role. It is not a business development role. You wont spend your days cold calling clients, chasing vacancies, or trying to hit sales targets. Instead, youll focus on managing and delivering recruitment campaigns for public sector organisations. Youll be responsible for: * Managing end-to-end recruitment campaigns * Working directly with hiring managers and client stakeholders * Screening and assessing candidates against defined criteria * Coordinating interviews and assessment processes * Managing campaign timelines and deadlines * Producing recruitment documentation and reports * Supporting candidates throughout the recruitment process * Ensuring compliance with public sector recruitment requirements * Delivering a professional experience for both candidates and clients A significant part of this role involves administration and campaign coordination. Public sector recruitment requires accuracy, organisation, and attention to detail. Youll be managing documentation, assessment records, communications, reporting, scheduling, and compliance requirements alongside your recruitment responsibilities. If youre looking for a role where recruitment is done properly, that structure becomes a real advantage. Lets be clear though... This isnt a slow‑paced environment. * Deadlines are real * Timelines are tight * Campaigns move quickly Youll need to: * Manage multiple recruitment campaigns simultaneously * Handle competing priorities across different clients * Stay organized under pressure * Maintain high levels of accuracy * Deliver consistently every day Its less chaos than traditional agency recruitment. But it still requires pace, ownership, resilience, and strong organisational skills. Why this role works * No cold calling * No business development targets * No CV spraying * No vague client briefs * No constant firefighting Instead, youll have: * Structured recruitment campaigns * Defined processes * Clear timelines * Engaged clients * Meaningful hiring decisions * A focus on quality delivery You still recruit. You just spend your time doing recruitment rather than selling recruitment. Youll probably fit if... * Youve worked in recruitment and enjoy delivery * Youre tired of the sales treadmill, not the profession itself * You like working with candidates and hiring managers * You enjoy managing recruitment processes properly * Youre highly organized * Youre comfortable with administration and documentation * You can manage multiple priorities without dropping standards * You appreciate structure rather than seeing it as bureaucracy What youll need * Recruitment experience (agency or similar) * Strong organisational skills * Excellent attention to detail * Ability to manage competing deadlines * Confidence working with clients and candidates * Strong judgement and candidate assessment skills * The ability to work accurately in a compliance-driven environment The bottom line You wont stop being a recruiter here. Youll just stop being the kind of recruiter whos constantly chasing the next client, the next vacancy, or the next sales target. Instead, youll focus on what recruitment is supposed to be about: Delivering great hiring outcomes. If that sounds appealing, its probably worth a conversation.
