Job description

This is a 2-in-1 role combining two functions Red Alpha (staffing+ being the new business line)

• Recruiter — sourcing, screening, and placing candidates for Red Alpha Staffing+ (Augment Staffing) client assignments.
• Admissions & Industry Partnerships Manager — owning the end-to-end candidate pipeline for the Alpha Specialist Training Programme (ASTP) and related training initiatives, plus supporting industry and government-agency partnerships.

The successful candidate will manage two connected pipelines — trainees moving through ASTP admissions, and experienced professionals placed directly with clients through Augment Staffing — while building the employer and industry relationships that keep both pipelines fed.

Indicative time split:

• Admissions & Candidate Pipeline (ASTP): ~40%
• Recruitment & Client Placement (Augment Staffing): ~35%
• Industry & Employer Partnerships: ~25%

Key Responsibilities

A. Recruitment & Client Placement (Augment Staffing)

• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for Augment Staffing assignments: candidate sourcing, screening, interviews, client coordination, offer management, and onboarding
• Source candidates directly via job portals, LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and passive outreach, particularly for senior and specialist profiles
• Match candidates to client requirements and manage the placement process through to deployment

B. Admissions & Candidate Pipeline (ASTP / Training Programmes)

• Manage inbound inquiries across email, LinkedIn, website, and social channels, providing timely and accurate programme information
• Oversee application screening, track submissions, and maintain accurate records in the admissions database
• Monitor and manage the candidate funnel from inquiry through enrolment to job-placement readiness
• Coordinate admission assessments, technical tests, and interview scheduling; work with interview panels to review applicants and re-applicants, facilitating retests, re-interviews, or rejection outcomes
• Track trainee contract status and ensure timely completion of agreements
• Post and refresh job/programme listings on MyCareersFuture, LinkedIn, university portals, and other channels

C. Industry & Employer Partnerships

• Build and maintain relationships with industry partners and government agency representatives.
• Partner with the marketing team on campaigns to attract high-quality candidates into Red Alpha programmes.
• Prepare shortlisted trainees and candidates for employer interviews through resume guidance, mock interviews, and coaching sessions.
• Support candidates in improving communication, confidence, and presentation for hiring partners.
• Provide structured feedback to candidates post-interview to improve employability outcomes.

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant experience, with a genuine track record across both tracks - recruitment/talent placement and admissions or programme/candidate-pipeline management. This is a dual-track senior hire, not an entry point into either function.
• Prior experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, admissions, or another people-facing pipeline-management role
• Comfortable interacting with industry partners and representatives from government agencies
• Experience supporting candidates with resumes, interview preparation, or career coaching is highly valued
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build candidate confidence

• Commensurate with experience and qualifications
