- Collaborate with the internal team to understand job requirements, timelines, and priorities.
- Present well-qualified candidate shortlists with clear justification for selection.
- Support the delivery of a high-volume hiring campaign (30 roles) over a 9–12 month period, scaling as needed.
- Keep records updated using simple tools like Google Sheets or the internal CRM.
- Minimum 3 years of experience in recruitment or resourcing, ideally within tech, engineering, or scientific sectors.
- Proven success in headhunting and passive candidate sourcing (not reliant on job boards).
- Prior international recruitment experience – specifically UK markets – is essential.
- Strong working knowledge of LinkedIn Recruiter or RPS+.
- Familiarity with using ATS or CRM systems; experience with Google Workspace preferred.
- Self-starter attitude with the ability to work independently and suggest creative hiring solutions.
- Reliable laptop, stable internet connection, and a professional home working setup.
What you'll do
- The role involves sourcing, identifying, and qualifying candidates for specialized roles in engineering and tech sectors. The specialist will support high-volume hiring campaigns and maintain candidate records.
