As a Recruitment Assistant, you will actively drive our talent acquisition efforts. This role involves close collaboration with the HR Manager, Department Managers, and Retail Leaders to effectively manage recruitment across all company areas. This position offers valuable insights into the recruiting field and significantly contributes to the department's overall success, allowing you to develop key skills in a dynamic company with ample opportunities for professional growth.

Key Responsibilities

Candidate Sourcing: Assist in sourcing candidates for both retail and Head Office roles through job boards, social media, internal databases, and other recruitment channels. Support proactive talent mapping and pipeline building for current and future hiring needs.
Job Posting: Draft and post job descriptions across multiple platforms for retail and HQ vacancies, ensuring alignment with company standards and employer branding guidelines, under the guidance of your direct supervisor.
CV Screening: Review resumes and applications across a variety of roles, from store-level to corporate positions, to shortlist suitable candidates. Conduct initial phone screenings to assess candidate suitability, experience, and motivation.

Interview Coordination: Schedule and coordinate interviews between candidates and hiring managers for both retail and HQ roles. Manage logistics including booking meeting rooms, arranging assessment days, and setting up virtual interviews.

Candidate Communication: Act as a key point of contact for candidates throughout the recruitment process. Provide timely updates, manage expectations, and ensure a professional and positive candidate experience at all stages.

End-to-End Recruitment Support: Assist in managing the full recruitment lifecycle, from role briefing and candidate sourcing through to offer stage. Support hiring managers with coordination, feedback collection, and process tracking to ensure an efficient hiring process.

Onboarding: Support the onboarding process for new hires across retail and Head Office, ensuring all documentation is completed, filed, and compliant. Assist in coordinating start dates and ensuring a smooth transition into the business.

Important to note:

Frequent Travel Expectations: Although the job is primarily based in Central London, candidates must have the flexibility for on-site work commitments. Travel will be required regularly, overnight, and on short notice in order to conduct in-person interviews for retail stores or location-based positions.
Team Collaboration & Flexibility: As part of a small and dynamic team, there will be occasional opportunities to assist with activities outside of core responsibilities, such as helping with store openings, supporting team events, or assisting with ad-hoc projects. While these tasks are optional, we really value a collaborative spirit and the willingness to step in and support each other when needed.

Strong Organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage large workloads independently
Experience in delivering multiple priorities and working under pressure to tight deadlines

Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.

Able to maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information with discretion

Previous experience or internships in similar HR or Admin roles are a plus.
