Recruitment Consultant careers
Recruitment Consultants help an organisation find and employ new staff — advertising vacancies, screening the job applications, and conducting interviews with candidates. They usually work for dedicated recruitment companies, but larger organisations sometimes employ their own recruitment officers.
As a Recruitment Consultant you could be arranging for a short-listed candidate to undertake an aptitude test, doing background checks, booking interviews, or developing an interview questionnaire for a specific job role.
