We’re looking for someone who brings :

• Proven ability to manage the full recruitment lifecycle
• Strong relationship-building and networking skills
• Excellent communication and consultative sales abilities
• A proactive, solution-oriented approach
• A genuine passion for delivering quality and integrity in everything you do
