We’re looking for an energetic and highly organised Contract Recruiter to join Pertemps in Leicester. Working closely with one of our key distribution clients, you’ll become the driving force behind attracting, recruiting and supporting a reliable workforce that keeps their operation moving.
This is much more than filling vacancies. You’ll build strong relationships, understand changing workforce demands and deliver a recruitment service that candidates, workers and the client can genuinely rely on.

• No two days will be the same. You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment journey, including:
• Creating engaging recruitment campaigns to attract high-quality candidates
  
• Proactively sourcing talent through job boards, social media, referrals and local networks
  
• Screening, interviewing and selecting candidates for current and future vacancies
  
• Working closely with the onsite team to understand forecasts and workforce requirements

• Providing ongoing worker care, including support with attendance, welfare and payroll queries
  
• Building trusted relationships with candidates, colleagues and client stakeholders
  
• Monitoring service levels, recruitment activity and key performance indicators
  
• Using data and market insight to continuously improve attraction, retention and service delivery
  

As this position supports a busy local distribution operation, you may also help monitor drivers’ working hours, availability and compliance, providing coaching and support where required.
What we’re looking for:
You may already work in recruitment, account management, sales, customer service, logistics or a fast-paced operational environment. Recruitment experience would be valuable, but it isn’t essential—full training will be provided.

• An engaging and confident communicator
  
• Naturally proactive, resourceful and solutions-focused
  
• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail
  
• Comfortable balancing several priorities at once
  
• Resilient and calm when working under pressure
