• Coordinating closely with Recruitment Administrators to ensure seamless execution of recruitment processes, including shortlisting, scheduling, and offer management
• Driving alignment across stakeholders to ensure clarity on hiring needs, timelines, and decision-making
• Monitoring recruitment progress and identifying risks, bottlenecks, or delays, proactively implementing solutions to keep delivery on track
• Ensuring accurate and consistent use of the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), maintaining data integrity and supporting reporting requirements
• Supporting the continuous improvement of recruitment processes, identifying opportunities to enhance efficiency and candidate experience
• Championing a structured, organised approach to recruitment delivery, ensuring consistency and adherence to best practice across the project
