Full-Time Resourcing Partner (recruitment agency)
Job Description
Resourcing Partner
We’re a talent company (fjwilson.com). The main service we provide is recruitment. Our clients comprise organisations for professionals: they include membership bodies, awarding bodies, and learning providers. We deal with mid- to senior- level roles (typically with ‘Director of’ or ‘Head of’ in the job title).
1. The opportunity in a nutshell
The role entails three functions ‒ one major (accounting for about 50% of the role) and two minor (approximately 25% of the role, each).
The major function involves resourcing vacancies and acting as a resourcing partner to designated clients. The purpose is to help ensure that we provide suitable candidates to enable our clients to fill their vacancies.
In the event of our other resourcing partner’s absence, you’ll be required to cover components of their work, and vice versa. And, in the event of the Managing Director’s absence, you’ll be required to deputise on some components of her work. The purpose of providing cover for the other resourcing partner or deputising for the Managing Director is to ensure continuity in provision of recruitment services to clients.
The minor functions involve i) creating and posting job advertisements (primarily for vacancies for which you are the designated resourcing partner) and sifting, screening, or rejecting job applicants responding to advertisements and ii) providing administrative support and customer service.
We encourage applications from all sections of the community. We welcome diversity. No previous experience of the recruitment industry is necessary.
A fuller description of the role and its responsibilities is provided in the appendix.
