Recruitment Resourcer / Candidate Engagement Specialist

Recruitment Resourcer / Candidate Engagement Specialist

We are recruiting on behalf of a growing international recruitment business specialising in engineering and technical placements across Australia, the UK, and the United States.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly driven and resilient Recruitment Resourcer / Candidate Engagement Specialist who thrives in a fast-paced, phone-based environment.

Using structured processes, candidate databases, and proven outreach systems, you'll play a key role in scaling placements and supporting ambitious international growth plans over the next five years.

The ideal candidate is confident on the phone, highly persistent, motivated by targets, and comfortable handling rejection while maintaining a positive and professional attitude.

• Conduct outbound calls and follow-up outreach to engineering and technical candidates across international markets.

• Engage warm and cold candidates using structured communication processes and scripts.

• Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter, CRM systems, or sales/recruitment platforms is advantageous.

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage follow-ups and multiple conversations simultaneously.

• Previous exposure to engineering, technical recruitment, or international markets is beneficial but not essential.

• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while maintaining accountability.

• Reliable laptop/computer and stable high-speed internet connection required.

• Initially aligned with Australian business hours during onboarding and training.

• Future flexibility to support UK and international market hours depending on operational requirements.
