Recruitment Advisor – FTC (Up to 12 Weeks)
Glasgow | Hybrid | Immediate Start

We’re delighted to be supporting the appointment of a Recruitment Advisor into a busy and collaborative People Services team on an initial fixed-term basis.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced recruiter who enjoys operational, end-to-end recruitment and is confident managing multiple moving parts within a fast-paced environment.

This role sits within a wider People Services function and supports recruitment activity across a broad range of vacancies. It’s a highly process-driven environment, so would suit someone who enjoys structure, organisation and keeping recruitment processes moving efficiently.

What the role will involve

You’ll manage end-to-end recruitment activity across a varied range of roles, supporting hiring managers throughout the process from advertising and interviews through to onboarding and candidate communication.

Alongside keeping recruitment activity moving smoothly, you’ll also support the operational side of the process - maintaining systems and documentation, coordinating pre-employment checks and helping bring structure and support into a busy but collaborative team environment.

What we’re looking for

We’re keen to speak with recruitment professionals who already have experience managing end-to-end recruitment within a busy environment and who enjoy operational, process-led recruitment activity.

You’ll likely bring:

  • Previous end-to-end recruitment experience
  • Strong organisational and administrative skills
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Confidence managing multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • A proactive and solutions-focused mindset
  • Confidence working independently and taking ownership of workload

Experience within more complex or highly governed environments would be beneficial, as would exposure to HR or recruitment systems such as Oracle or similar platforms.

Who this role would suit

This role would suit someone who enjoys a fast-paced, hands-on recruitment environment and takes pride in keeping processes organised and moving efficiently.

You’ll likely be proactive, adaptable and comfortable managing competing priorities, while building strong relationships with hiring managers and candidates alike. A calm, practical approach and willingness to get stuck in will go a long way within this collaborative and supportive team.

What’s on offer

  • Hybrid working
  • Immediate start opportunity
  • Supportive and collaborative team environment
  • Opportunity to make a genuine impact during a busy operational period
  • Potential for contract extension

If you’re an experienced recruiter who enjoys operational delivery, stakeholder support and keeping recruitment processes running smoothly, we’d love to hear from you! For a confidential chat, please contact Lynne – lynne.friel@symedrummond.co.uk
