• Work closely with team members to achieve departmental goals and targets.
• Deliver outstanding customer service to clients and candidates throughout the recruitment process.

Requirements

• Previous experience as a Recruitment Consultant, ideally supplying temporary workers to the Industrial or Driving sectors (other sectors will be considered).
