Here at Populous People, we live and breathe our philosophy of Find, Keep, Grow - finding people, keeping people, and seeing people, organisations, communities and our economy grow. That is not just words, it's truly what gets us out of bed each day. We have our feet firmly planted in Hawke's Bay, but provide search and recruitment, and people strategy services far and wide. Underpinning our success is our commercial nous, and people connectivity, that means we truly value our partnership approach. We are looking for a self-motivated, intelligent and proactive team player with a professional customer service ethos and a can-do attitude to join us as a recruiter/or as a recruiter support. In this multifaceted role, you will have plenty of opportunities to make a real impact with clients and candidates alike. You will be involved in leading the end-to-end search and recruitment strategies and processes from business development, candidate screening, ongoing client and candidate engagement through to successful appointment processes and follow on. The organisations we partner with range in sector, size and scale, and that makes us true generalists. It is critical that you bring commercial smarts and an established understanding of the functionality of a wide variety of roles and sectors. Our team move pretty quickly, work collaboratively, and have a broad bandwidth which means that there is a lot on the go. We need someone with EQ, interpersonal skills and the ability to operate with real tact and discretion. There is an admin element in everything you do; you must be happy to roll up your sleeves across your workflows. You will be good at getting out and interacting with our clients to build solid and lasting relationships and you'll be just as comfy in a one-on-one interview with a candidate. Connections and a professional network across Hawke's Bay will be highly regarded. You will be degree qualified in a relevant field and ideally bring hands-on experience leading or supporting search and talent strategies and running end-to-end recruitment processes. You'll be highly competent using MS office products, socials, software/website packages and CRMs, and your communication skills will be outstanding. If you are starting out in your recruitment career, or if your skills are well honed after many years in the industry, we are keen to hear from you. This role is to provide parental leave cover through to August 2025; however, there could be a career pathway here for the future. We are also open to a part-time arrangement so do reach out to discuss your circumstances further. If this feels like you, and you have the right expertise and eagerness to join our tight-knit team, then please apply through this portal. Or for more information, please contact us on 06 875 8446 for a confidential discussion. #J-18808-Ljbffr
