Fresh Egg Hiring for Talent Acquisition Lead Job at Worthing, South East England, England Full Time

We’re looking for a dynamic and driven Talent Acquisition Lead with experience managing a temporary contingent or contractor workforce to join our growing Recruitment Services team.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who has worked in an internal or recruitment agency environment, looking for the next stage in their career – perhaps you no longer enjoy the sales element of your role but flourish building relationships with candidates and clients alike? Fresh Egg is the first digital marketing agency in the UK to offer recruitment services to its clients. We help our clients to hire permanent staff, and we also place pre-vetted contractors into our clients’ businesses to work on projects ranging from web builds to complex, multi-channel digital marketing strategies.

For any organisation requiring support with their recruitment, Fresh Egg has many unique selling points. We have extensive experience in building in-housing strategies for our clients and working with them to build the right operational structures and teams. And we have a team of experienced, specialist staff to help vet candidates at a detailed technical level, giving clients the confidence that candidates put forward by Fresh Egg are highly qualified for each role we take on.

This is a very exciting time, as Fresh Egg’s recruitment team is now established, busy and ready to grow. You’ll be working with our experienced Head of Recruitment Services to identify and source exceptional candidates/talent for our clients. You’ll also help with internal roles as Fresh Egg continues to grow its own team of talented digital specialists.

Skills, knowledge and experience…

We are looking for someone who has a natural confidence, a hunger to learn and the tenacity to find the best candidates in the market. Ideally you will have experience managing a temporary or contractor desk either in an inhouse or agency based role.

You should also be comfortable attending client meetings as and when required. You’ll be highly organised, proactive and comfortable working to targets.

Responsibilities include:

· To work with the Head of Recruitment Services to identify key candidate skills required for our contractor roster

· To proactively source candidates for hard-to-fill roles using social media and referrals

· To screen candidates to identify skills and assess these against client requirements, enabling the correct talent to be suitably qualified and matched

· To ensure that all candidates are screened in accordance with the Employment Agencies Act and appropriate pre-employment checks have been undertaken where necessary

· To attend client meetings/calls where required to discuss any new or extension requirements

· To obtain and manage all documentation required in line with contractor compliance requirements. Including maintenance of any expiring documentation

· To maintain Fresh Egg approved roster and be proactive in sourcing candidates to be promoted via our website and socials

· To identify contractor leads and work with the Head of Recruitment Services to generate new candidate and client opportunities

· To maintain regular contact with candidates, building good relationships and ensuring availability is kept up to date so that we have a true “live” database to work with

· To maintain the candidate database and keep it accurate and up to date

· To support with building candidate communities defined by specialism

· To keep up to date with local market activity and trends, sharing any pertinent information to support the strategic development of Fresh Egg’s service offering
