Following application submission, you are responsible for immediately logging the candidate's name in the designated tracker before officially handing off the warm lead to the Recruiter.
• Market Intelligence: Track competitor and market activity to inform our overall talent acquisition strategy.
• Automations: Creating automations through our CRM / Tracking Tool.

Requirements

• 6 months experience required: Experience within a Sourcing, HR or Recruitment type role.
• A Natural Investigator: You are curious, love solving puzzles, and have a knack for finding information online.
• Experience with advanced search techniques (like Boolean logic) or platforms such as LinkedIn Recruiter is a bonus.
• World‑Class Organisation: You have exceptional organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong Communication: Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to professionally and engagingly interact with candidates and internal team members.

Benefits

• Work with a friendly, driven team that values energy and initiative.
