Trades And Labour Resourcer

About the company

Whitelake Recruitment is a specialist blue-collar recruitment business supporting the construction and civil engineering markets across the UK. We provide temporary trades and labour for projects of all sizes, from short‑term site requirements through to longer‑term assignments. Our approach is built on strong market knowledge, long‑standing relationships and access to a reliable, high‑quality workforce. We have the systems, processes and back‑office support in place to make delivery straightforward, from timesheets and compliance through to payroll, allowing our team to focus on doing the job properly.

As Whitelake continues to grow, we are looking to add a Recruitment Resourcer to support our consultant team. This 180‑hour role focuses entirely on candidate delivery. You will be responsible for sourcing, screening and managing operatives for live construction roles, working closely with consultants who manage the client relationships. This includes advertising roles, searching databases, speaking with candidates, managing availability and ensuring operatives are fully briefed before being put forward for work.

It is a hands‑on role and well suited to someone who enjoys candidate interaction, problem‑solving and keeping multiple roles moving at once. A European language is highly preferable, given the nature of the labour market we work within. The role is a mixture of home and office based, with some site visits where appropriate.

• Basic salary of £28,000 to £30,000 depending on experience, plus commission.
• Target‑based office events and regular team socials.
• A range of ongoing perks.
• Support from experienced consultants and a strong back‑office function.

• Experience in blue‑collar construction recruitment or a resourcer‑style role (or other recruitment backgrounds keen to focus on delivery).
• Experience or understanding of the construction or civil engineering sectors would be beneficial.
• A European language is strongly preferred.
• Organised, reliable, confident speaking with candidates and comfortable working at pace.
• Attention to detail, good communication skills and a proactive approach are key to doing well in this role.
