• Build strong candidate pipelines and talent pools to support future hiring needs.
• Manage candidate screening, interview preparation, feedback and offer processes, delivering a positive and personalised candidate experience throughout.
• Support the wider Recruitment team with vacancies during particularly busy periods, including entry-level roles.
• Manage vacancies and candidate activity through out applicant tracking system (ATS), SmartRecruiters.
• Act as an ambassador for AJ Bell and helping us continue to build our profile as an employer of choice.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven end-to-end recruitment experience, either within a fast-paced in-house or agency environment.
• Experience independently managing vacancies from initial briefing through to offer.
• Experience recruiting and hiring talent within technical and digital functions at all levels.
• Strong direct sourcing and headhunting skills.
• Confidence using LinkedIn and other recruitment channels to build candidate pipelines.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong organisation and prioritisation skills, with a proactive and self-sufficient approach.
