The Role.

You will be responsible for providing a professional service to job seekers (candidates) and hiring managers (clients) by understanding our clients hiring needs and sourcing relevant candidates. You will manage the full recruitment process, acting as the middle-person between both parties to ensure a successful placement is made. 

You will be tasked with working on projects for Avanti’s current clients as well as winning new business - always with a view to building long term relationships with both candidates and clients. As you become an expert in your specialist market, clients and candidates will often look to you for market insights such as remuneration packages, best practice recruitment process and interview preparation, to name a few.
 

Responsibilities

  • Managing your own specialist desk
  • Developing your understanding of your specialist market
  • Building relationships with both hiring managers and candidates in order to develop your business
  • Advising both clients and candidates on current market conditions
  • Writing adverts to publish online and to the Avanti candidate database
  • Reviewing applications, sourcing and qualifying candidates for vacancies and presenting them to clients
  • Arranging interviews, taking interview feedback from both parties (client & candidate)
  • Negotiating offers with clients & securing candidates on job offers Booking and attending client meetings (Video Conference and Face to Face)
  • Providing a high level of customer service to maintain our reputation as a trusted and reputable recruitment partner.

You will work to agreed monthly targets which are set in collaboration with your manager. Targets will be specific to you as an individual, taking into consideration the size of your business and your level of experience. Typically, at the start of a career with Avanti, your activities will be based around growing your client and candidate network with a strong focus on business development. As your business grows, your targets are likely to focus more on managing and expanding your existing accounts. It’s at this point that consultants often look to build their own teams within Avanti.
