What you'll be doing

• Managing the job booking and job filling process
• Searching for candidates using our CRM, CV‑Library, Indeed, and social media
• Advertising live vacancies across job boards and social platforms
• Managing candidate onboarding, including compliance checks, KID documents, and timesheet portal setup
• Chasing weekly timesheets and checking for errors
• Ensuring candidates are paid accurately and on time each week by checking timesheets against client sign‑off
• Handling day‑to‑day candidate queries
• Speaking with candidates regularly by phone and email

What we're looking for

• Experience in recruitment, resourcing, candidate coordination, or a similar role
• Comfortable managing multiple live candidates and deadlines at the same time
• Well organised and able to prioritise quickly when things get busy
• Calm, practical, and reliable under pressure
• Confident dealing with candidates by phone
• Able to work remotely without close supervision

No formal qualifications are required — relevant experience and the right approach to work matter more.

Language skills

• Excellent spoken and written English is essential
• Additional languages are an advantage, particularly European languages common in the UK construction sector, but not required

The details

• Salary: £32,000 - £35,000 depending on experience
• Remote working as standard
• Office space available if preferred
