Recruitment Resourcer

Contract Scotland is a recruitment consultancy that was established to redefine recruitment and set a new standard, to challenge how the recruitment industry works. We don’t work to a traditional target and commission model, which gives us the unique ability to provide our customers with a transparent recruitment service that delivers true value and lasting impact to their lives and businesses. To continue delivering the highest quality recruitment within our sector, we need to add to our existing team.

Sometimes called a candidate consultant or researcher, you’ll ultimately be supporting our recruitment consultants to solve recruitment puzzles! You’ll offer support across the whole hiring process, including sourcing and engaging with candidates (using several platforms, conducting candidate outreach, writing attractive job adverts, etc.), assessing CVs, running 1st stage interviews, and marketing our roles & services through online platforms to build brand awareness. The main difference to a recruitment consultant role is that you will be focused on the candidate side, rather than having responsibility for selling our services to employers and building those relationships.

What can we give you:

• A thorough and detailed training plan (our ‘Recruitment Academy’), delivered by a group with an average of 15 years of experience in construction & engineering recruitment.
• A winning formula for recruitment (honed over 35 years), giving you all the structure and tools to be successful.
• The best of recruitment technology & AI to support your hard work, allowing you to work as effectively as possible, reach/identify & assess candidates, communicate with your network, and turbocharge your marketing.
• Ongoing support & encouragement from the team around you, to make you the best you can be, and achieve your longer-term ambitions.

Your experience/personality:

We don’t need you to have existing experience in recruitment, although we’d be happy to see any that you do have. Experience in some kind of customer service is very useful, as every day you’ll be speaking to a range of people by phone, in online meetings, face to face, and by email/text. What’s most important to us right now, is that you bring:

• Energy & enthusiasm – this goes a long way in our team. We want people who can help keep team morale & momentum high, even during challenging days, who are prepared & ready to get stuck in.
• Adaptability/interested in change – this comes in two forms. Often, we pitch in to help each other out during busy spells, so we want people who are prepared to roll with that where needed. Technology & AI is also changing how recruitment works, and how we as individuals approach it. That’s all for the better, but you need to be keen & interested to adopt new technology as it arrives.
• Motivation - we want you to be driven to be the best at what you do.
• Likeability/interest in getting to know people – you’re going to be engaging with loads of different people and characters, so an interest in getting to know them/what motivates them & asking more questions, will naturally help you.

We have a comprehensive benefits package for the team at Contract Scotland, so you can expect:

• Quarterly bonus.
• Excellent private health insurance (no excess) covering both physical & mental health.
• Hybrid/remote working.
• Enhanced annual leave allowance plus additional days for loyalty.
• Extra day off on your birthday.
• Use of a modern holiday home on the banks of Loch Ness.
