This is a candidate-focused position where the successful individual will be responsible for identifying, engaging and delivering high-quality recruitment professionals into agency clients across the US market.

Unlike traditional recruitment roles that rely heavily on job adverts and inbound applications, this opportunity is centred around proactive talent sourcing, market mapping and headhunting.

The Ideal Candidate

Our client is looking for someone who is naturally inquisitive, proactive and enjoys finding talent that isn't actively looking for a new opportunity.
