Recruitment Operations & Executive Support Specialist

We’re looking for a sharp, proactive, and recruitment-savvy Operations & Executive Support Specialist to join a high-performing UK-based recruitment consultancy. This role is designed for a well-rounded operations professional who thrives in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment and understands the nuances of recruitment.

You’ll work closely with the company founder, acting as a force multiplier—taking ownership of day-to-day admin, client candidate coordination, LinkedIn outreach, and project execution. Your mission? Free up the founder’s time so they can focus on business development and client delivery.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in recruitment, exceptional organisational skills, and the confidence to manage systems, relationships, and priorities without constant supervision. If you're the kind of person who can anticipate needs, drive structure, and bring operational calm to a growing business, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage candidate and client communications, including interview confirmations, calendar invites, and follow-ups.
• Maintain and update CRM systems with interview progress, notes, and task lists.
• Support the end-to-end recruitment process by managing logistics and providing admin support on live jobs.
• Handle contract creation and documentation for contractors and placements.
• Build and manage LinkedIn search projects for new business outreach and candidate sourcing.
• Support outbound prospecting and business development by managing LinkedIn messages, following up with leads, and scheduling meetings.
• Identify repetitive, lower-value tasks and take full ownership of them, allowing the founder to focus on high-leverage work.
• Provide strategic reminders and accountability check-ins to help keep business goals on track.
