* Convert prospects into active recruitment clients
* Secure genuine vacancies from new clients
* Build relationships with clients to generate repeat business

Final commercial terms and agreements may require approval from company management.

Candidate Recruitment

* Take detailed vacancy requirements from clients
* Create and advertise vacancies where appropriate
* Proactively source suitable UK candidates
* Search job boards, LinkedIn and other candidate sources
* Contact prospective candidates
* Conduct initial telephone/video screening
* Assess candidate suitability, experience and availability
* Shortlist suitable candidates
* Present candidates professionally to clients
* Maintain an active candidate pipeline

Managing the Placement

* Arrange interviews between candidates and clients
* Prepare candidates for interviews
* Follow up with clients and candidates
* Obtain and communicate interview feedback
* Manage subsequent interview stages
* Assist with offer discussions within agreed guidelines
* Help overcome objections from either side
* Follow up until an offer is accepted
* Maintain contact through to the candidate’s start date

Administration & Reporting

* Maintain accurate CRM records
* Record calls, emails, prospects, vacancies and candidates
* Track opportunities from initial contact through to placement
* Keep the recruitment pipeline organised and up to date
* Provide regular performance updates to management

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you will have:

* Previous UK recruitment agency experience
* Experience in 360 recruitment
* Business development and cold-calling experience
* Experience winning new recruitment clients
* Experience sourcing and screening candidates
* Confidence speaking with UK business owners and hiring managers
* Excellent spoken and written English
* Strong negotiation and objection-handling skills
* Excellent organisation and follow-up
* Ability to work independently and take ownership of results
* Experience using recruitment CRMs, LinkedIn and job boards

Previous experience remotely managing the full recruitment cycle for a UK recruitment agency would be a major advantage.

Working Hours

Full-time, working primarily during UK business hours.

Salary & Progression

Starting salary: $500 USD per month

The salary will be reviewed based on performance, with the opportunity to increase to $650 USD per month upon demonstrating strong and consistent performance.

A performance-based commission structure will also be available for successful results and placements.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the business long-term and take greater responsibility as the recruitment division develops.

Please provide:

1. A brief summary of your recruitment and business development experience.
2. Details of any experience working with UK recruitment agencies or UK clients.
