• Writing job adverts and managing candidate pipelines
• Arranging interviews and managing placements
• Negotiating contracts and delivering exceptional service to both clients and candidates

What we\'re looking for

• A proactive, driven, and resilient mindset
• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment

What you\'ll get

• A competitive base salary ( 27k- 32k DOE)
