In this role, you’ll support a wide range of People Team initiatives, with a strong focus on recruitment, sourcing, candidate engagement and interview coordination. You’ll help keep hiring activity moving by supporting candidates, hiring managers and People colleagues through a clear, well-managed recruitment process. 

• Support assigned recruitment campaigns through candidate attraction, sourcing, screening and administration.

If you’re great at sourcing, enjoy speaking with candidates/customers, love a well-managed to-do list and care about giving people a positive experience, this could be a great role for you. 

Skills:

• You are highly organised, detail-focused and comfortable managing multiple tasks at once. 

• You enjoy speaking with people and can communicate clearly, warmly and professionally. 

• You take pride in creating a positive candidate, customer or stakeholder experience. 

• You are curious about recruitment, people, HR or talent and keen to develop your career in this area.

• You can follow a process, keep accurate records and spot when something needs to be escalated. 

• You are proactive, reliable and comfortable working with different people across a busy team. 

• Experience in one of these areas is desirable: recruitment, HR, customer service, administration, sourcing or coordination
