Together we inspire better ways of creating the places, communities and businesses of tomorrow. This is our purpose and we will only achieve our strategic objectives if we recruit and retain the best people, operating in an environment underpinned by inclusivity, diversity and opportunity.

Our Recruiters play a pivotal role in helping us to resource our business to achieve this and we are currently looking for Recruiters to join our In-house Recruitment Team.

Reporting into the Recruitment Manager and working closely with the Recruitment Business Partners you will deliver on approved recruitment needs ensuring quality, diverse candidate pools are identified. You will manage a broad range of vacancies at any one time with candidate applications from a range of sources and will require good co-ordination and organisation skills.

This is an exciting time to be joining an established In-house team in a successful organisation committed to supporting our hiring managers through the full recruitment lifecycle – from job briefings and interview guidance through to talent pipelining, whilst always working to continuously meet or exceed their expectations.

Some of your key accountabilities as a Recruiter will be to:

• Actively source quality, diverse, direct candidates from a range of sources to deliver our diversity goals
• Screen, telephone or video interview, shortlist and recommend candidates for approved job vacancies and forecast roles
• Network and engage with candidates to build a diverse talent pipeline for current and future needs
• Conduct job briefings for new roles when required
• Use the Applicant Tracking System effectively and maintain accurate records of progress with activity

To be successful in the role you will be able to evidence your ability to fill vacancies using a range of direct sourcing channels including social media, search, networking and advertising. Having some In-house recruitment or talent acquisition experience across a range of sectors will be an advantage, along with the ability to use Applicant Tracking Systems efficiently and write inclusive job adverts.
