Love recruitment but hate cold sales?
Want to build a career in recruitment without spending your day chasing clients and hitting sales targets? We’re looking for a Recruitment Resourcer to join our growing Construction team in Leeds - helping us source and support great people across some of the UK’s busiest construction projects.
This is a fast-paced, people-focused role where no two days are ever the same. One minute you’ll be speaking to a Site Manager needing urgent cover for Monday morning, the next you’ll be tracking down a Finishing Manager for a high-profile fit-out project. So if you enjoy being busy, speaking to people, solving problems, and finding candidates others can’t - you’ll fit right in.
What’s in it for you?
* £27,500 basic salary
* Realistic OTE £32k–£36k
* Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm
* Leeds city-centre office
* No sales targets or cold business development
* Structured training and career progression
* Work alongside an experienced, supportive team
* Perkbox discounts & employee benefits
* European city break incentives
* A genuinely people-first culture. At Thorn Baker, we’re proud to be: People-Driven. Solution-Focused. Positive-Minded.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll play a huge part in helping us find and support the best construction talent across the region.
That means:
* Writing engaging job adverts
* Searching for candidates across LinkedIn, job boards, and our CRM
* Speaking to candidates daily and building strong relationships
* Headhunting and networking to uncover hidden talent
* Supporting candidates through registration and onboarding
* Matching people to the right projects and opportunities
* Keeping candidate records organised and up to date
* Supporting the consultants with shortlists and admin
You’ll also help make sure candidates are fully compliant and ready for site - including Right to Work checks, references, and verifying qualifications such as CSCS cards.
It’s a role that combines people skills, organisation, and problem solving in a busy, team-driven environment.
About you
We’re looking for someone confident, organised, and proactive who genuinely enjoys speaking to people. You might already have experience in:
* Recruitment
* Resourcing
* Customer service
* Administration
* Sales support
* Talent acquisition
Construction recruitment experience would be great, but personality, attitude, and work ethic matter more.
Most importantly, we want someone who’s positive, driven, and enjoys working as part of a close-knit team.
