Recruitment Coordinator

Day 1: You've got full training, a supportive manager, and a warm database of candidates to start building relationships with.

Day 30: You're finding your rhythm, your CRM is second nature, and you're already spotting great candidates before anyone asks.

Day 90: Candidates ask for you by name, and you've realised your customer service skills translate perfectly into a recruitment career.

Improve your working life and start a recruitment career, no experience required.

We're hiring a Recruitment Coordinator to join the Rubicon team, supporting one of our three key divisions in finding, qualifying and championing brilliant candidates for our clients. No previous recruitment experience needed, just the right attitude and a background in dealing with people.

Why this Recruitment Coordinator role exists: our consultants need a steady stream of well-qualified candidates to keep pipelines moving and clients happy. This role gives candidates a brilliant experience from first contact to placement, and gives our consultants the headhunting, screening and admin support that lets them focus on winning and growing client relationships. People with a strong customer service background, from lettings, retail, hospitality or similar, often make brilliant recruiters, so we'll teach you the rest.

Rubicon is 100% employee-owned (think John Lewis & Waitrose, but smaller and more personal). The effort you put in doesn't just tick a box, it contributes to shared success and long-term financial wellbeing for the people doing the work.
