  • Candidate sourcing: You'll be headhunting skilled professionals using platforms like LinkedIn and our database. You'll write adverts, screen CVs, and conduct phone interviews to match top talent to your clients' vacancies.

  • Process management: You'll manage everything from arranging interviews to negotiating salaries and securing offers. You're in control of the entire recruitment cycle, start to finish.

  • Market building: Over time, you'll become an expert in your niche - spotting trends, identifying opportunities, and positioning yourself as the go-to recruiter in your space.
