You’ll also attend various types of careers fairs and maintain relationships with target employment organisations, schools/colleges and unis to build our EVP and create a diverse pipeline of talent.

About you

This role will suit someone who is a pro at sourcing talent via social media, LinkedIn, Indeed, cv database and job boards. You might currently work in agency looking to make that move in-house or you may already be an in-house recruitment legend, with the confidence to attract and actively promote the Henderson Group employer brand.

Creativity and persistence in abundance with an enthusiasm for delivering a great candidate and customer experience are a must along with a knack for developing super social media campaigns!
