About Vertical Recruitment
Vertical Recruitment is an established specialist recruitment consultancy operating across the construction, engineering, and property sectors.
Our working environment is professional, relaxed, and supportive, without the unnecessary micromanagement or bureaucracy often associated with recruitment. We have a close-knit team of hardworking and dedicated consultants who collaborate, share information, and support one another.
We are now looking for a full-time Recruitment Coordinator to work closely with James Smith, one of our founding Directors, supporting recruitment activity across our Consulting Engineering division.
The Role
As Recruitment Coordinator, you will play an important role in identifying, approaching, and engaging talented professionals on behalf of our clients.
Working directly alongside James, you will help manage the recruitment process from the initial candidate search through to interview and placement. This will involve speaking with prospective candidates, discussing their experience and career plans, introducing suitable opportunities, and maintaining regular contact throughout their recruitment journey.
This is a fast-paced, telephone-led role involving a high level of outbound candidate engagement. You will therefore need to be confident speaking with new people, comfortable making numerous calls, and motivated by building relationships.
Key Responsibilities
- Search for and identify suitable candidates using our recruitment database, LinkedIn, and other sourcing platforms, matching relevant professionals to our clients’ vacancies and recruitment requirements.
- Make regular outbound calls to prospective candidates, discussing their experience, career aspirations, and potential opportunities. You will conduct initial screening calls and accurately record all relevant information.
- Build and maintain relationships with professionals across the construction and engineering sectors, ensuring every candidate receives a professional, responsive, and positive experience.
- Support candidates throughout the recruitment process by arranging interviews, providing feedback, maintaining regular contact, and following up on applications, referrals, previous conversations, and ongoing recruitment activity.
- Write engaging job advertisements, LinkedIn messages, InMails, email campaigns, and other recruitment marketing content, while keeping candidate and vacancy information accurate and up to date within our recruitment database.
- Identify potential business-development opportunities through candidate conversations, market information, and industry leads, while asking for referrals and recommendations to expand our professional network.
- Provide general administrative and coordination support to James and the wider recruitment team.
