Academics are a leading education recruitment company with a national network of offices, over the last 10 years our Stoke branch has enjoyed continued success and we are now looking for an ambitious individual to take responsibility for attracting and retaining our candidates. The role is vital to our continued success and on a day to day level the post holder will initially play a supporting role to the day to day running of the business.

As a Candidate Care Consultant you will have responsibility for attracting new candidates via placing engaging job adverts, managing the flow of internal candidates, strengthening local relationships with universities, managing our annual Job fair program, and once experienced it will be expected that you will use your initiative to spot and create additional and innovative candidate attraction methods.

Other responsibilities will involve managing the applicant response levels, scrutinising CVs , pre-screening and arranging registration interviews. You will also take responsibility for managing the applicant from first contact, through the registration process to their first assignment.

We work in a fast paced environment so an ability to work under pressure and to targets is a must as you will be working with our central compliance team, you will also need a very keen eye for detail and a working knowledge of child safeguarding is important (although training would be available for the right person). We offer a great salary and an opportunity to work with a small yet very successful team, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to break into the recruitment industry or for an established recruiter to change direction.
