Recruitment Resourcer
Location: Kennington, London (SE11 5DP)
Salary: £26,000–£29,000 base salary depending on experience.
Impact Talent is an international, research-led executive search and recruitment consultancy specialising in senior hiring across shipping, ports, logistics, supply chain, industrial projects, and global infrastructure, with a strong focus on complex and emerging markets.
We are looking for a full-time Recruitment Resourcer (Recruitment Researcher / Talent Research Partner) to play a central role in delivering high-quality searches across our Talent Essentials and Talent Connect recruitment offerings.
This is a research-driven, candidate-focused role, ideal for someone early in their recruitment career (or looking to move into recruitment or executive search) who values quality, structured thinking, and long-term development over volume-led recruitment.
You will work closely on a one-to-one basis with the Founder, supporting live searches across multiple geographies and sectors. The role begins with candidate research and qualification and can develop toward full search ownership over time.
Recent examples of roles you will support include:
* Managing Director – Pakistan (Shipping)
* Project Implementation Director – Angola (Ports & Infrastructure)
* Country Manager – Nigeria (Shipping)
* General Manager – Iraq (Aviation)
* Deputy Country Manager – Mozambique (Logistics & Supply Chain)
* Head of Entity – Malaysia (Logistics)
* Logistics Manager – Guinea (Logistics)
The role
As a Recruitment Resourcer, you will be responsible for identifying, engaging, screening, and qualifying candidates to ensure that only well-assessed, credible profiles progress through the process.
You will be given meaningful responsibility from the outset, with guidance and support as you develop in the role.
Responsibilities include:
* Conducting structured market research and candidate sourcing through database searches, targeted headhunting, and referrals
* Screening and qualifying candidates via phone and Teams
* Building professional relationships with candidates across multiple markets
* Supporting interview coordination and candidate communication
* Preparing CVs and candidate documentation
* Taking references for successful candidates
* Managing job advertising and reviewing inbound applications with a focus on relevance and quality
* Maintaining accurate records in the internal database
* Supporting delivery across Talent Essentials and Talent Connect searches, with scope to take on end-to-end ownership as capability develops
Working environment
This is a full-time hybrid role, with an expectation of three days per week in the office and up to two days working remotely.
The business is founder-led, and the role involves close day-to-day collaboration.
We operate a core hours model, meaning you should be available between 10:00 and 16:00, with flexibility around start and finish times outside these hours (totalling 40 hours per week).
Please note: a dog will occasionally be present in the office, so you will need to be comfortable working in a dog-friendly environment.
Is this role right for you?
This role is likely to suit someone who:
* Enjoys structured research and takes pride in accuracy and attention to detail
* Is comfortable speaking with candidates and assessing motivation and suitability
* Can engage professionally with senior candidates
* Values direct communication and personal accountability
* Is organised, self-motivated, and able to manage their time effectively
* Has an interest in international business and emerging markets
Previous experience in recruitment or executive search is helpful but not essential. We place greater emphasis on judgement, work ethic, and curiosity than on prior recruitment experience.
Training and development will be provided through mentoring, structured feedback, and increasing responsibility as your capability develops.
This role may not suit someone who:
* Prefers a large, highly structured agency environment
* Is motivated primarily by high-volume activity rather than quality of output
* Is uncomfortable operating in a high-accountability environment
If this sounds like a good fit and you are interested in developing within a research-led international search environment, we would be pleased to hear from you.
