LOOKING FOR A NEW OPPORTUNITY?

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an experienced direct technical recruiter or head hunter to utilise their skills, recruit and develop professional services and product sales with a fast growing, successful company. This person would have significant and valued input into our recruitment processes and sales strategies.

OUR VALUES

Networkology is an IT services company that works with an increasing number of clients in the public sector including the Ministry of Defence. We offer a variety of specialist professional services and products across an expanding suite of technologies. In order to offer the best possible service to our clients we recruit only the most talented and experienced of staff. This is where you come in.

We are a people focused company and pride ourselves on how we treat our employees, contractors, suppliers and clients alike. We are a sociable organisation (where global pandemics allow!) and actively encourage open communication and teamwork at all levels, without any of the pitfalls of larger companies with complex hierarchies. This is an opportunity to get onboard with a rapidly growing company. For the right individual there will be opportunities for training in an array of technologies and skills.

LOCATION

You will be key part of the core team, working in collaboration with different areas of the business and project stakeholders to help them fulfil their sales goals and resourcing needs. We are a ‘remote first’ organisation with staff in various parts of the country. We have no traditional offices currently, instead we utilise the latest in collaborative software to ensure that we maintain contact and communication regardless of our location.

This role is primarily REMOTE based, with some requirement for occasional visits to client locations or Networkology events in and around the Wilshire area.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

This role is multi-faceted; you will have control over shaping our talent acquisition processes, tools and approaches. You will also be responsible for sourcing and placing talent, either to help grow our employee base or to expand our contractor workforce as needed. You would actively source and engage talent via referrals, sourcing new leads, utilising technology, engaging with external recruiting partners, attending events, and more.

You would own our internal recruitment lifecycle, including job description generation, sourcing, interview process design, extending offers, and closing candidates. The important thing is you are able to provide an exemplary candidate experience from the first engagement through to offer and onboarding.

The other important part of this role revolves around sales & business development. We don’t mean in the pushy, call-centre, cold-calling sense, but a more targeted approach, working with other members of the company on client identification, engagement, proposal development, bid completion, and other activities designed to help drive demand for our services and products.

In addition to your base salary you will have the ability to earn uncapped commission based on your ability to generate new business!
