About the Role
Outsource Ability is recruiting for a Recruitment Consultant to join our team on an independent contractor basis, part-time or full-time, working UK business hours. We place remote talent with clients across a range of sectors in a fast-paced environment.
This role owns roles end to end. You will take a brief from a client, source and screen against it, run interviews with clients and candidates present, manage both sides through to offer, and be directly accountable for the placement outcome.
Key Responsibilities
Client Management
• Act as the main point of contact for clients across the life of a role. • Take detailed role briefs and clarify requirements, must-haves and deal-breakers before sourcing begins. • Handle client queries and concerns and resolve them promptly. • Keep clients updated on pipeline progress, candidate feedback and timelines without needing to be chased.
Role Ownership & Placement
• Take full ownership of assigned roles from brief through to successful placement. • Arrange and sit interviews with both client and candidate present, and facilitate the conversation where needed. • Relay post-interview feedback to both sides. • Manage offer conversations, including rate and package discussions, and negotiate to a workable agreement. • Follow through on placement administration and handover so the start date is met.
Sourcing & Screening
• Identify active and passive candidates using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, job boards, talent databases and industry networks. • Build and use Boolean search strings to find hard-to-find talent. • Conduct thorough phone and video screenings against the client brief. • Write personalised outreach messages that generate responses from passive candidates. • Research unfamiliar sectors and roles quickly, and adapt your approach to each brief.
Pipeline & ATS Management
• Process incoming applications promptly so no candidate is left waiting. • Maintain accurate candidate records, notes and stage tracking in the ATS. • Manage multiple live roles at once without letting any of them stall. • Use AI tools to streamline sourcing, screening, written communication and daily administrative tasks.
