Job description

Overview

At Zest, we don't just "do" recruitment - we transform careers and strengthen teams in one of the UK's most vital industries: Food Manufacturing. We've spent over 20 years building the most trusted recruitment brand in the sector, and now, we're looking for a Resourcer who's hungry to be the best. This is not a back-office role. You'll be on the frontlines - hunting, headhunting, and building relationships with the industry's most in-demand engineering professionals.

Responsibilities

• Build and nurture relationships with high-performing engineering candidates in the food industry
• Search across job boards, LinkedIn, internal CRM, referrals and social platforms to find the best talent
• Conduct detailed phone and video interviews, qualifying candidates for live roles
• Partner with a Business Director (one of our top billers) to help fill high-priority vacancies
• Support candidates throughout the process - coaching for interviews, negotiating offers, and guiding through resignations
• Record candidate insights with precision in our CRM, helping us maintain our reputation for detail and quality

What you’ll get / Benefits

• 250 per placement on your director's desk - with potential to increase as you grow
• Industry-leading training and mentoring - we’ve developed some of the UK's best recruiters in-house
• After 12 months, you’ll be ready to step up into a Consultant role - managing your own clients and deals
• Be part of a team that celebrates success: past summer parties in Ibiza, Friday drinks, quarterly lunch clubs, and much more
• Hybrid working, private healthcare, pension, and gym membership
• Work in our bright, open-plan Stamford HQ, overlooking the meadows - voted one of the happiest places to live in the UK

What we’re looking for

• A natural people-person: you love asking questions, listening, and learning about others
• Grit, determination, and a work ethic to match - recruitment isn't easy, but it's worth it and the rewards huge
• Excellent communication skills on the phone, on email, and face-to-face
• Someone who thrives in a high-performance environment and wants to fast-track their career
• It would be a bonus if you've worked in retail, customer service, sales or call centres - but attitude is everything

Zest's Promise

We'll train you, support you, challenge you, and celebrate you. You'll be joining a business with a clear mission to be the best recruitment company you'll ever work with or for. And we're not slowing down.
