We re hiring a Recruitment Coordinator to join the Rubicon team, supporting one of our key divisions in finding, qualifying and championing brilliant candidates for our clients. No previous recruitment experience needed, just the right attitude and a background in dealing with people. Many of the clients you ll be working with are based across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Southbourne, so living in or around that area would put you in a great position to build strong relationships quickly.

Why this Recruitment Coordinator role exists: our consultants need a steady stream of well-qualified candidates to keep pipelines moving and clients happy. This role gives candidates a brilliant experience from first contact to placement, and gives our consultants the headhunting, screening and admin support that lets them focus on winning and growing client relationships. People with a strong customer service background, from lettings, retail, hospitality or similar, often make brilliant recruiters, so we ll teach you the rest.
