We are working with a well-established and growing engineering business that continues to invest in its people as it scales. Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an In-House Recruiter to support ongoing hiring across the business. This is a fantastic opportunity for either a recruitment professional who enjoys owning the full end-to-end hiring process, or someone from a sales, account management, or coordination background looking to move into an internal recruitment role.
You will play a key role in shaping the candidate experience and supporting hiring activity within a fast-paced, technical environment.
This is a position where you will have real autonomy, working closely with the Recruitment Manager while taking ownership of day-to-day recruitment activity.
The Role
Reporting to the Recruitment Manager, you will take full responsibility for managing the recruitment lifecycle from advert creation through to offer stage.

10. Working closely with the Recruitment Manager on resourcing plans and hiring strategy
11. Identifying opportunities to improve processes and increase efficiency
The Environment
This is a fully onsite role within a collaborative office and manufacturing environment. You will work closely with hiring managers across the business and be part of a supportive People and Culture team. The business offers a high level of autonomy, with no micro-management, allowing you to take ownership of your role and make a real impact. They value energy, curiosity, continuous improvement, and delivering an excellent candidate experience.
Please note, due to the location, own transport is essential.
