Job description

Apprentice Recruiter

Hove | Full-time | Level 3 Recruitment Recruiter Apprenticeship

Ready to start a career where no two days are ever the same?

Placr Recruitment is growing, and we're looking for an ambitious, confident and brilliantly organised Apprentice Recruiter to join our team in Hove.

You don't need recruitment experience. We're far more interested in your attitude, personality and willingness to learn.

If you're naturally good with people, love a challenge and aren't afraid to pick up the phone, this could be the start of a fantastic career.

The role

You'll work alongside our experienced recruitment & talent sourcing team, learning how to manage the entire recruitment journey — from finding brilliant candidates to helping them secure their next opportunity.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Searching for and approaching potential candidates
• Speaking with candidates to understand their skills and career goals
• Writing and posting engaging job adverts
• Reviewing CVs and conducting initial candidate interviews
• Matching candidates with suitable permanent and temporary roles
• Supporting candidates throughout the interview process
• Helping to build strong relationships with clients
• Updating our recruitment system and keeping accurate records
• Supporting the team with business development and marketing activity
• Celebrating every successful placement — we're rather fond of this bit!

About the apprenticeship

You'll complete an 18-month Level 3 Recruitment Recruiter Apprenticeship, with monthly workshops and support throughout your training.

You'll develop practical skills in:

• Candidate sourcing and attraction
• Interviewing and assessing candidates
• Client relationship management
• Sales and business development
• Recruitment law and ethical practice
• Matching and presenting candidates
• Supporting candidates through the recruitment process
• Managing recruitment administration and systems

At the end of the programme, you'll complete an externally assessed presentation, questions and workplace observation.

Who we're looking for

You'll be a great fit if you are:

• Confident, friendly and comfortable speaking with new people
• Positive, energetic and keen to build a career
• Organised and able to manage several tasks at once
• Resilient — recruitment has brilliant highs, but you'll also hear no occasionally
• Comfortable using social media and learning new systems
• A strong communicator, both on the phone and in writing
• Reliable, hardworking and willing to get stuck in
• Motivated by goals and excited by success
• Genuinely interested in helping people

GCSEs in English and Maths would be helpful, but support with Functional Skills may be available if required.

Why join Placr?

Placr isn't a stuffy, corporate recruitment agency.

We're a growing independent business with big ambitions, a strong personality and a team that genuinely cares about doing recruitment properly.

You'll receive:

• A recognised Level 3 recruitment qualification
• Full training and ongoing support from an experienced team
• Real responsibility from the beginning
• Experience across permanent and temporary recruitment
• The opportunity to work across a variety of industries
• Clear opportunities to progress as Placr continues to grow
• A friendly, supportive and lively working environment
• Plenty of encouragement, laughs and celebrations along the way

But if you want to learn, grow, challenge yourself and build a proper career in recruitment, we would love to meet you.
