The role in one paragraph
Our client has a matchmaking product. It connects candidates with live roles, and it needs a steady flow of well-qualified software engineers to do that well. This role runs the screening calls that create that flow. Wave gives you the candidates, the booked calls, the script and the tools. Your job is to work through
them at pace, have a proper conversation with each engineer, and capture everything our matchmaking needs. You will not be sourcing or searching LinkedIn. Every candidate you speak to has been selected by us, so your focus is the quality and volume of your calls.
What you own
Screening calls
Run pre-booked screening calls with software engineers based in London and across the UK
Follow the client script: open with who we are and what we offer, cover the key questions, and close with clear next steps
Capture what each candidate wants: salary and package, hybrid setup and days in the office, tech stack, roles of interest and their key drivers for a move
Probe the CV where needed, including gaps, short stints and reasons for moving from contract to perm
Introduce the week's priority roles using the short pitches agreed at the Monday kickoff
Notes and candidate data
Use Granola on every call and run our recipe at the end to check nothing is missing
Save notes to the right place straight after each call, with an up to date CV,
LinkedIn or GitHub
Confirm each candidate's intent: joining our platform, a specific
role, or both
Outbound calling
Between booked calls, work through the call list we provide using Dialpad and book in further screening calls
Re-engage candidates from our historic database, collect updated CVs and refresh their records
Pick up useful market information on calls, such as where else candidates are interviewing, and log it for the team
Skills and behaviours
Strong spoken and written English, and confident on the phone with people you have not met before
Comfortable making a high volume of calls every day and following a set process
Moves at a fast pace without dropping quality
Good judgement on a CV: spots gaps, job hopping and anything that needs a follow-up question
Strong work ethic, reliable and self-managing while working remotely
Comfortable with AI tools and new systems, including Granola, Dialpad, Slack, Gmail and Notion
Coachable: takes feedback and applies it quickly
How you will be supported
Training on the script and the Granola recipe in your first week
You will shadow calls
A Monday kickoff each week covering the priority roles and how to pitch them
Regular check-ins on call quality and output
How we will measure success
20 to 30 screened candidates passed into our platform each week
Complete notes on every call, with nothing flagged as missing by the recipe
The call list is worked through daily, with new screening calls booked between screens
Historic candidates are refreshed with current CVs and records
Call quality that represents us well, based on regular review
Requirements
Who we are looking for
Experience
1 to 2 years in recruitment, resourcing, delivery, sales development or another outbound calling role
Technology recruitment experience is ideal but not essential. The script covers the technical questions
Experience working with UK candidates or companies is a plus
