Abbatt Property Recruitment is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our fast-paced temporary recruitment team. This is a warm desk, servicing a key client and their Residential Developments across London and the surrounding area.
If you thrive in a high-energy, target-driven environment, this could be your perfect role!
About Us
Abbatt Property Recruitment is a well-established specialist recruiter serving London's residential property sector. We place temporary and permanent staff into roles including Estate Managers, Building Managers, Concierge, Receptionists, and Security Guards across some of London's most prestigious residential developments.
Our temps desk is thriving - we're busy, the market is strong, and our clients rely on us to deliver quality candidates at short notice. We need someone who can keep up with the pace and enjoy every minute of it.
This is a true temps recruitment role - fast-paced, relationship-driven, and all about getting the right people into the right shifts, quickly.
Your Day-to-Day:
Client Management
Take incoming booking requests from property management clients (often at short notice)
Build and maintain strong relationships with clients - become their go-to person
Understand client requirements, confirm shift details, rates, and expectations
Provide excellent customer service and responsive communication
Candidate Coordination
Match available candidates to shifts based on skills, location, and availability
Confirm bookings with candidates - rates, shift times, locations, dress code, etc.
Keep candidates engaged, happy, and available for future bookings
Manage last-minute changes, cancellations, or no-shows with professionalism
Administration & Systems (10%)
Enter bookings accurately onto our recruitment system
Track timesheets and work with payroll to ensure smooth processing
Keep candidate and client records current
Occasional Candidate Sourcing When required, you may support the team with sourcing new candidates through job boards, referrals, and database searching-but this isn't the primary focus of the role.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
Proven experience in temporary/interim recruitment
Experience in a high-volume, fast-paced temps desk environment
Highly organised with excellent attention to detail - you won't drop the ball
Strong communication skills - friendly, professional, and calm under pressure
Ability to handle last-minute bookings and changes without stress
Customer service mindset - helpful, responsive, and solution-focused
Confident using recruitment databases/ATS systems
Ability to multitask - juggling multiple bookings, calls, and clients simultaneously
Team player who thrives in a collaborative, supportive environment
Desirable:
Experience in property, facilities management, or hospitality recruitment (not essential-we can teach you the sector)
Knowledge of London geography (helps with matching candidates to locations)
Resilience and positive attitude

Busy desk, thriving market - You'll never be bored
