Resourcing Advisor at Crestnicholson

It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

An opportunity has arisen for a Resourcing Advisor to join the recruitment team at Crest Nicholson, initially on a 6-month FTC contract basis, with the opportunity for the position to go permanent should the recruit evidence significant (but achievable) savings to the business in direct resourcing.  

This role will focus on supporting our business units in identifying talent via various attraction methods with a particular focus on support in Sales & Build Recruitment – although there will be opportunities to support in other areas of the business.  

This is an excellent opportunity for an agency recruiter who is looking to move away from a ‘360’ role into a ‘in house’ role allowing for more flexibility, autonomy and a move away from new business calls. This position allows for you to contribute to significant change in our business and offers stability, where your success isn’t dependant on external factors often beyond your control i.e. external market conditions.

We will provide you with all the tools needed to succeed in the role including LinkedIn Recruiter, Advertising Platforms, CV searching tools and more.

You will also benefit from the support of the Resourcing Business Partner and the wider HR Team, many of whom have been with the business a number of years. The team will help with any key relationships you need to establish with other members of the business in this new role.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Identification of Talent through various methods such as Headhunting, Advertising, Referrals etc
• Supporting Divisions / Hiring Managers through the end-to-end recruitment cycle for new hires.
• Providing expert advice to the Divisions on the approval status of their potential new hire. The new hire will need to gain an understanding of our processes and be able to offer advice to Hiring Managers on who to contact to help move their vacancy through the approval chain.
• Understanding a Hiring Manager’s requirements allowing you to send relevant CVs for consideration. This may involve organising meetings with the hiring manager virtually or in person before recruitment commences.
• Qualifying prospective candidates both internally and externally to assess suitability for positions and key drivers for their application.
• Arranging Interviews and ensuring every candidate that has interviewed has feedback following.
• Delivering Verbal Offers to candidates and establishing timelines for verbal acceptance / decline that work for both the candidate and the business.
• Assisting candidates in formalising their offers once accepted, liaising with the Hiring Manager, Division and the wider HR Team.
• Stakeholder Engagement is an essential element of this position, and the hire will need to keep regular contact with Hiring Managers on the status of their role and some of the potential difficulties they have face during recruitment and offer solutions for those issues
• Communicating with and seeking support when needed from our Preferred Suppliers List (PSL).
• If agency support is needed on a vacancy, ensure that the suppliers work within process - only on approved vacancies which can be released via our Company Agency Portal.

Experience, Qualification and Skills:

We are looking for people to join our Company who can demonstrate preferably all of the below:

• Experience of recruiting within the Housebuilding Industry
