Connecting Talent (Recruitment):
- Find & Inspire: Source, network, and advertise to attract top temporary candidates for internal and external clients across the warehousing and transport sectors. Also source and advertise for permanent candidates.
- Match & Onboard: Match candidate skills to the right vacancies, and guide new starters smoothly through contracts, registration packs, and pre-assignment briefings.
- Support & Advise: Act as a friendly, reliable point of contact for our temporary staff- answering daily phone queries about pay, logistics, and contracts, while working closely with Line Managers to understand their staffing needs.
