• Oversee the full candidate journey, from initial screening, compensation discussions, and psychometric testing to interview scheduling, constructive feedback, and offer management.
• Administer offer approvals, issue contractual paperwork, conduct right-to-work checks, secure pre-employment references, and coordinate new starter inductions.
• Provide direct line management to recruitment support staff, setting objectives, allocating workloads, and coaching the team to deliver a high-quality, compliant service.
• Track recruitment KPIs (time-to-hire, time-to-fill), generate monthly dashboard reports, and optimise the Applicant Tracking System and processes to eliminate bottlenecks.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience in an in-house recruitment role, ideally within manufacturing, engineering, or a related fast-paced sector.
