- Receiving and reviewing applications, creating a shortlist of suitable candidates and presenting them to the client.
- Managing interviews and assessments. There’s a lot of planning that goes into what you’ll do, it’s important to be thinking several steps ahead to coordinate the process effectively.
- Ensuring candidates are all engaged and onboarded correctly and within the agreed time frames. For our clients providing a positive candidate experience is vital, we play a crucial role in delivering this.
