As a member of our sales and delivery team, you’ll be responsible for engaging and nurturing candidates within your specialist market with the goal of placing them into careers within our existing client network. You’ll also work alongside our client services function in designing and executing business development plans, and approaching prospects to grow your client portfolio. You’ll hold responsibility over the entire candidate lifecycle, and regularly provide insight to hiring managers and other company stakeholders. ​​In this role you’ll be: Managing active vacancies and overseeing the entire recruitment lifecycle, providing progress updates to clients and candidates at each stage of the process. Creating, implementing, and carrying out a business development plan that contributes to the growth of your own client portfolio and the wider sales and delivery function.
