Recruitment Director - Sidcup, United Kingdom - Carter Morris Talent Solutions
Description
We are a well established recruitment agency, working on "executive level" hiring projects for multinational companies.They pay for our global knowledge and expertise to find professionals with niche skills, to work for their companies around the world.
We have repeatedly hired for many of the same companies for over a decade
With another year of record growth planned, we're urgently seeking an experienced, customer focussed leader to join our team in finding niche skilled executives who may be suitable for business critical jobs within our employer clients.
You'll be hosting preliminary skills and experience assessments, and then managing "deep dive" exploratory interviews - working to find a match between the needs of hiring clients, and the career aspirations of these executives.
As part of this role, you'llbe providing support for career counselling, interview coaching, negotiating six figure salary packages, sharing feedback from all parties, and simply being a trusted confidant.
This role scope will further include:
- using a variety of research methods to find people, and politely check their interest in appropriate roles (no cold calling required)
- booking (and potentially hosting) screening calls with people who show initial interest and be checking whether they really meet the minimum skill and experience level that our employer clients require
- advising people directly when they're not suitable and making an action plan on how to potentially help them in future
- managing the hundreds of unsolicited applicants who contact us each week, and doing so in a manner that treats people respectfully and protects our own hard-won company brand
- managing ongoing analysis of trends and data that we use to provide "value add" information to our networks
- working with a close-knit team to ensure all compliance, regulations and project milestones are met, and all ongoing interview booking logistics and regulatory admin are managed
You don't need previous experience of working within a recruitment search firm.
However, you will need an extensive, multi-year work history within deadline driven employers that has enabled you to finesse these essential core competencies:
- Advanced written and verbal English. We're dealing with executives all around the globe so we need exceptional communication skills, suitable for a board room and/or accurately proofreading a multi page document.
- Respect for others. We're dealing with people from all around the world, of different nations, faiths, and sexualities. These people are global leaders typically of 20 years plus career experience. We need to understand and adjust our working styles tofit in with them. If you think people have to change to fit in with you, then you won't be happy here.
- Emotional intelligence. Read up on it. You cannot be successful in this job without it.
- Sensational instincts. You need to be hardwired with an innate sense of knowing when to push, to "drill down" on an answer, to know that something just doesn't add up.
- What are we offering?_
- Home office work arrangement with flexible work hours (to fit in with the international time zones we're working across daily)
- Intensive and extensive training in all aspects of the retained search industry (we're great at getting newcomers up to speed and credible in this profession)
- Grownup work environment (where you are expected to contribute ideas that add to the ongoing growth of the company rather than being "just an employee")
- Planned travel for team events in London, Zurich, Beziers (you'll need a current passport)
- Nice people to work with (we're all featuring at least a little grey hair and have no time for fools or company politics, but we're having fun, especially after work with a glass or two of "remote" vino)
- Our preference is for a professional already based within South East England, who can regularly commute into Sidcup for training and team events.
