Internal Recruitment Consultant – Temporary Staffing (Managed Service) Abbatt Property Recruitment | Central London
About Abbatt Property Recruitment
Abbatt Property Recruitment is a specialist recruiter with a long-established reputation for placing temporary and permanent staff across London's residential property sector. We work with some of the capital's most prestigious property management companies, providing the people who keep their buildings running - from Estate Managers and Building Managers to Concierge, Receptionists, and Security Guards.
As part of our continued growth, we are now recruiting for an Internal Recruitment Consultant to join our temporary staffing team on a dedicated managed service account for a fantastic client.
The Opportunity

Your direct contacts will be the property managers/building managers responsible for individual residential buildings across London. You will manage an established bank of temporary workers and will be responsible for coordinating bookings, maintaining strong candidate relationships, and delivering a consistently high standard of service to the client.
