The role:
Reporting to the Head of Recruitment & Training you will work together with your team to manage the recruitment process to fill positions in our distribution and retail operations. Speaking daily with local and senior management teams to plan and execute effective recruitment by matching the right people to the right jobs.

You will be the main point of contact for the teams you support and will manage all aspects of the recruitment process to fill positions from managing recruitment advertising, reviewing job applications, completing telephone screening, interviewing then arranging and overseeing inductions.

Building strong relationships both in and outside of the business is important as well to ensure we maximise all opportunities through local initiatives to access the widest pool of candidates for our positions.

It’s important that you are keen to develop a strong understanding of our business, culture and job roles through first hand experience, working in our distribution centres and shops as part of your initial training and keeping up to date with any changes.

And it will be down to you to ensure everyone who applies for a position with us is treated with the utmost courtesy and respect by managing their application promptly and professionally.

About you:
We’re looking for someone with a lot of personality who is able to confidently communicate with candidates, hiring managers and their team and build a strong rapport quickly.

You will need to be a well organised self-starter as this position will involve a significant amount of independent working. We are often working on tight deadlines so you need to be able to prioritise and manage your own workload effectively to get the job done.

Good written communication skills and a high attention to detail are also really important as you will be communicating with candidates and hiring managers regularly by email while juggling a number of different tasks at any one time.

Previous experience in a distribution or retail environment would be beneficial as would recruitment or HR experience although we would love to hear from you either way if you think you have what it takes.
