Recruitment Resourcer/Researcher
£Very Competitive + Benefits + BonusRECRUITMENT RESOURCER/RESEARCHER
Nr Pershore, Worcestershire (Hybrid Office/Remote Home Working available)
£Very Competitive Benefits Bonus
If you've worked in recruitment for any length of time, you'll know it's a complex industry. An outsider may think it's simply about posting an advert, sending CVs, billing a fortune, then heading off to the nearest Audi showroom.
But you know there's so much more to being a recruiter. You need to be great at business development, account management, researching and interviewing candidates, positioning suitable candidates to the client, organising interviews, and on it goes.
Having done that for a while, maybe you've realised that one of those elements stands out more for you than the others. For example, possibly you know your strengths lie in researching and selecting candidates rather than the sales-based parts of your role.
If that's the case, you're probably feeling trapped in your current position. Some recruiters view resourcing as a low-level role. A backroom staff position while they are the stars of the show. Your company may consider it the same and frown upon you wanting to 'take a step back'.
At Martin Veasey Talent Solutions, we view it very differently. We know that attracting and assessing appropriate candidates is a crucial part of the recruitment process, and we value our resourcers as highly as anyone else in our team.
As such, we've invested heavily in our researching function with state-of-the-art software and tools to help our resourcers locate the best candidates for our clients. In addition, we work globally, with clients across every continent, so you will be able to grow your skills and experience by working with international candidates.
Our expertise lies in the engineering, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, supply chain, purchasing, logistics, and construction industries, so your experience in any of those sectors will count in your favour. However, we're happy to consider other related backgrounds as well.
As for locations, we're reasonably flexible on you either working purely from our offices in Worcester or a hybrid involving working from home as well.
