Recruitment Coordinator

Overview

We're looking for an enthusiastic Recruitment Coordinator to provide high quality, innovative advice and solutions to support Devon County Council and partner organisations to attract and appoint staff. The team are based at County Hall in Exeter. The role will be hybrid with office attendance required each week, or full onsite working arrangements are available. Delivering great service to candidates and hiring managers alike is at the core of what we do, so you'll need to have excellent communication skills and previous experience in a customer-facing environment.

You'll also need to be highly organised, with an ability to prioritise your workload effectively to ensure that recruitment activities progress in a timely manner. Previous experience within a recruitment or HR role is desired, but not essential. You will be required to provide a high quality, competitive and commercially aware recruitment service to Devon County Council and a range of external customers.

What will you do?

• Providing high-quality, policy-driven, recruitment advice to hiring managers, including supporting with HR system queries
• Ensure all vacancies are accurately posted, formatted correctly, and compliant with organisational policies and recruitment timelines.
• Support recruitment marketing on social media by sharing vacancies across agreed platforms, to increase visibility and attract a wider pool of candidates.
• Liaising with internal and external hiring managers to support with recruitment queries
• Responding to general queries from applicants and hiring managers

You will be required to support the recruitment team to deliver improvements in the quality of the service offered in line with Devon County Council's objectives. You will support the Recruitment Manager and Devon County Council in achieving its business objectives and the recruitment and retention strategy whilst promoting a strong customer focussed environment. Above all, you will be supported by a team and colleagues with a wealth of knowledge and experience to help, support and challenge you to be your best.

If you have previous recruitment experience, great communication skills, the ability to work well under pressure, meet deadlines and the desire to work in a welcoming, diverse and open culture, where continual learning and career progression are encouraged, this is a brilliant opportunity!
