• Managing the end-to-end hiring process, from job briefings to negotiating offers and securing placements.
• Staying ahead of market trends, salary benchmarks, and industry developments to provide clients with valuable insights.

Organisation & Administration

• Managing your own diary and workload effectively in a busy, fast-moving environment.
• Handling telephone enquiries and candidate applications professionally and efficiently.
• Preparing CVs in the Itchyfeet format and submitting candidates to clients.
• Uploading candidate profiles and CVs onto client portals, ensuring all required documentation and submission details are accurate.
