- Build and maintain strong talent pipelines across both blue- and white-collar markets.
- Engage with passive candidates and build long-term relationships within your specialist market.
- Conduct detailed candidate interviews and assess suitability against role requirements.
- Manage the interview and offer process, ensuring a positive candidate experience throughout.
- Provide market insight to hiring managers, including salary levels, candidate availability and market trends.
- Work closely with the Recruitment Resourcer to maximise candidate generation and delivery.
- Maintain accurate candidate and vacancy records within the recruitment CRM.
- Monitor recruitment activity, pipeline performance and time-to-hire.
- Develop long-term talent pools to support current and future hiring requirements.
