Key Responsibilities

1. Carry out telephone registrations and first screening interviews with all new candidates, to identify initial motivation, suitability and matching for The Recruitment Junction’s services, and its job opportunities

• The central role of a Recruitment Resourcer is to find and qualify candidates for each of the roles the Recruitment Consultants are trying to fill.
• This covers the full recruitment process, so Resourcers typically spend their days responding to incoming applications, placing job adverts to attract candidates, and conducting searches on the company database to find candidates with relevant skills.
• Call candidates to discuss their experience and identify whether they will be a good fit for the services and available roles.
• Most of these tasks will be carried out on the phone, although there will be times where Resourcers meet face-to-face with employer-clients or candidates to discuss their roles.
• All candidates have a criminal record and for many this can feel like an almost insurmountable barrier to gaining or returning to work; self-confidence can be low and there is often a lot of regret or shame.
• The role of the Resourcer requires an approach which is empathetic and sensitive, speaking hope into people’s situations and conveying the sincere belief that each person has the ability to find purposeful and fulfilling work, regardless of their past.

2. Manage the process of candidate data collection and outcomes reporting, to allow The Recruitment Junction to satisfy the reporting requirements of its funders and commissioners

• Record candidate information on the internal CRM database (as well as any other proprietary databases as required by funders or commissioners), ensuring that all registration forms, data privacy consent and other necessary candidate documentation are properly completed and filed.
• Carry out ID and Right to Work checks on new candidates, ensuring results are properly recorded.
• Work with the team to ensure that regular internal reporting on outcomes takes place in a way that is accurate and timely and helps the charity to learn and adapt its programmes as needed.

3. Carry out other general administrative duties as required

Under the direction of the Manager, carry out general administrative duties as required, including but not limited to:

• First point of contact by phone and email for all candidates and external referral partners.
• Greeting visitors and offering teas and coffees.
• Maintaining a stock of all office supplies, including replenishing the in-house food bank.
• Supporting the team in any way required, including checking and answering phones and emails in their absence, helping to draft CVs, booking people onto training courses, ordering ID documents and shopping for interview outfits with candidates.
• Collating information required for grant applications and contract bids/tenders.
• Assisting with fundraising activities, including maintaining the donor database.
• Financial record-keeping and data entry.
• Participating in at least one fundraising or crowd-funder event per year and, on an ongoing basis, seeking to build up the charity’s donor base through soliciting monthly and one-off donations from across your friendship, business and church networks.

This is a non-exhaustive list of tasks and may be amended from time to time in line with the needs of the charity.
