Are you ready to join a global leader in recruitment at our state-of-the-art office in Waterbeach? Randstad Education Cambridge is seeking a driven and proactive Resourcing Consultant to join our team as a permanent member of the team.
In this vital role, you won't just be filling jobs; you’ll be the architect of our talent pipeline.

* Interviewing & Vetting: Conduct thorough initial screenings and face-to-face (or video) interviews to assess suitability and passion for education.
* Compliance Management: Work closely with our compliance team to ensure every candidate is fully vetted and cleared to work safely in schools.
* Brand Ambassadorship: Represent Randstad at careers fairs and networking events to attract new talent to the sector.
What We’re Looking For
* Experience: Previous experience in recruitment resourcing, or a candidate-facing role is highly desirable.
* Local Knowledge: An understanding of the Cambridge education landscape or a background in Education/Care is a significant advantage.
* Communication: You must be an expert communicator—someone who can build rapport quickly and \"sell\" the benefits of working with Randstad.
* Organisation: The ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment is essential. You’ll be managing multiple candidate journeys simultaneously.
