These roles in our new team will allow you to work with an experienced team who are shaping the way we engage, attract, assess and select young people using a blend of technology, automation and a human touch at the right times in the candidate journey.

We use a bespoke applicant tracking system to help us build the campaigns each year and manage c20,000 applications each cycle, helping to offer the best possible experience to candidates and provide the team with the best technology possible to manage both roles and candidate journey.

Once our candidates complete the recruitment process and are successful in securing an offer, we transition our candidates into our HR system, where our candidates will be onboarded and continue their journey until they start and beyond. We work with both systems daily which support both candidates and businesses in hiring new entry-level talent.

• Support the process of issuing contracts, getting the right information to the team to process, and occasionally supporting the Visa application process.
• Support with other work during the hiring cycle as and when required.
• You’ll work closely daily with the UK team, taking our candidates through our selection and assessment process, and helping us to make offers to the right people to join our business.
