  We are looking for an experienced coordinator / administrator to join our first-class recruitment team. Your role will be to provide seamless support to candidates and hiring managers throughout the recruitment process.
  
  You will facilitate the coordination of the recruitment process by; scheduling interviews and assessments, liaising directly with candidates, conducting pre-employment checks, whilst updating and keeping candidates warm at various stages of the recruitment process. You will also keep in touch with our new starters, ensuring they have a great onboarding experience whilst responding to routine enquiries, managing our busy recruitment line and inbox. You will be confident at presenting in front of others remotely or face to face, as you will be required to facilitate and present on our first day induction for new starters.
  
  Crucially, you will bring demonstrable experience in providing first class administrative support within a busy team. To thrive in this role, you will have a great depth of recruitment administrative processes, whilst being a highly organised person who is able to manage a demanding workload.
