About Talent Finder

Talent Finder is a fast-growing recruitment business with an innovative, online-led approach, placing candidates across the UK and Ireland. We have big growth plans and we promote from within. The people who join us now will be the people who lead our next stage of growth.

The role in a nutshell

As our Recruitment Resourcer, you'll be the engine of our recruitment process. Most of your day is spent on the phone: speaking to candidates, finding out what they're great at, and matching the right people to our live roles. It's busy, it's fast-paced and there are targets. That's exactly what makes it rewarding.

Let's be upfront:

this is a phone-first role. You'll make a high volume of calls every single day. If picking up the phone isn't for you, this won't be the right fit. But if you get a buzz from great conversations and hitting your numbers, you'll love it here.

What you'll be doing

Making a high volume of outbound calls every day to candidates for our live vacancies
Headhunting and sourcing through our database, job boards and LinkedIn
Screening candidates over the phone, using sharp questions to understand their experience
Shortlisting strong candidates and putting them forward to our consultants and management team
Building talent pipelines for current and future roles
Keeping our applicant tracking system (ATS) accurate and up to date
Giving every candidate a first-class experience from start to finish

Where this can take you

This is the first step on a real career path. Hit your targets, show you want to learn, and you'll progress into one of two routes:

Recruitment Consultant: owning vacancies and client relationships end to end
Sales Closer: winning new business and turning conversations into deals

We'll train you, coach you and back you every step of the way.

Who we're looking for

A natural talker. You're confident on the phone and enjoy speaking to new people all day.
Driven and focused. You like having targets and take pride in hitting them.
Resilient. You thrive in a busy, high-pressure environment and bounce back quickly from a "no".
Hungry to learn. You take feedback on board and always want to get better.
Organised. You have a good eye for detail and are comfortable using MS Office.

Experience: recruitment experience (agency or in-house) and ATS knowledge are a big plus, but not essential. If you've worked in sales, telesales, a call centre, customer service, hospitality or any role where you talk to people all day, we want to hear from you.
