OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
This is a high impact, client facing, managerial role at the heart of the Electronics and Energy Business Unit. You will work from home and will report directly to the Business Unit’s Recruitment Director.
PER has atomised the traditional role of a recruiter: we have BDMs (focused on client sourcing), Resourcers (focused on candidate sourcing), Technical Recruiters (focused on screening candidates and scheduling client interviews), and Recruitment Managers. As a Recruitment Manager, you have two core responsibilities: ensuring client success and account penetration.
Ensuring client success means ensuring that the hiring managers and HR teams you work with receive inflows of highly qualified PER candidates that convert to placements. To achieve this, you manage desks of Technical Recruiters and Social Media Analysts; distributing the workload based on business priorities, overseeing client communications, leading offer negotiations, and regularly coaching your team.
Account penetration means converting that client success into deeper relationships and results in greater access to our clients’ vacancies and more integrated business models.
Targets will be set for your team and you will update senior management weekly on your team’s progress during Pipeline Reviews.
REQUIRED PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
We’re looking for someone with:
- 8+ years in technical recruitment; preferably in Electronics and/or Energy
- Proven track record of successful account management and development
- Proven track record of exceeding targets
- Fluent English
- Management experience
KEY QUALITIES
The person we hire will be:
- Loyal and committed – you buy into PER’s vision and want to build your career inside PER
- Proactive – you act independently to extend PER’s network inside your accounts and develop relationships
- Vocal – as the link between the front line and senior management, you speak your mind and escalate important issues
- Engaging – you are an excellent communicator
- Intelligent – you are eager to learn, grasp new concepts rapidly, and form original solutions
- A leader – you give clear direction and support and your team is happy and productive
- A teacher – you identify each team member’s training needs and impart your recruitment and technical knowledge
