Ready for a recruitment role without the sales pressure?

Are you an experienced recruiter who loves finding great people, building relationships and making things happen, but you're ready to step away from the constant pressure of winning new business?

Maybe you're a recruiter who has spent years doing 360 recruitment and you're now thinking:

"I still love recruitment – I just don't want to do sales anymore."

If that sounds like you, this could be exactly the role you're looking for.

About Engage Education

Engage Education is a leading education recruitment business, supporting schools and education settings across the UK with high-quality teachers and support staff.

Our Manchester team is an experienced, established team, and we're looking for someone to join us who can make an immediate impact.

The key difference?

You won't be expected to spend your day cold calling schools or chasing new business.

Our experienced team takes care of winning and developing the business.

Your role is to recruit great candidates, look after our existing schools and build strong relationships with the people you work with.

The Role

As an Account Manager / Recruitment Resourcer, you'll become a key part of the Manchester team.

You'll work closely with our schools and candidates, making sure we understand what they need and delivering the right people at the right time.

You'll be responsible for:

• Recruiting teachers and education support staff for our schools /Building strong relationships with candidates and keeping them engaged
• Speaking to schools regularly to understand their staffing requirements
• Taking vacancies and understanding exactly what the school is looking / Matching candidates to the right roles and schools
• Managing candidate pipelines and keeping our database up to date
• Interviewing and screening candidates
• Keeping in regular contact with candidates once they are working
• Working closely with the wider team to share candidates, information and opportunities

You won't be responsible for cold business development or generating your own new school leads.

You'll be working with schools that the team has already developed relationships with, allowing you to focus on what great recruiters do best: finding the right people and delivering an excellent service.

Who are we looking for?

We're particularly interested in hearing from experienced recruiters who are looking for a different type of recruitment role.

You might currently be working in:

• Education recruitment
• Social care recruitment
• Healthcare recruitment
• Any other fast-paced recruitment environment

You don't necessarily need education recruitment experience.

What matters more is that you:

• Have previous recruitment experience
• Enjoy speaking to and building relationships with people / Are confident dealing with clients and candidates
• Know how to qualify a vacancy and understand what a client really needs
• Are organised and able to manage multiple vacancies and candidates
• Are commercially aware and understand the importance of filling vacancies
• Work well as part of a team
• Are proactive and don't need to be chased

Most importantly, you genuinely enjoy recruitment.

Why join us?

We think recruitment should be challenging, rewarding and enjoyable – without making you dread picking up the phone every morning.

You'll join a brilliant Manchester team with an experienced group of recruiters around you, so you'll have people to learn from, collaborate with and have a laugh with.

We have a strong team culture where people support each other, celebrate success and genuinely want to see their colleagues do well.

You'll also benefit from:

• Competitive basic salary / Commission scheme
• Manchester city centre office
• An experienced and supportive team
• Full training and ongoing development
• No cold-calling targets / No expectation to generate your own new business
• Regular team events and incentives
• A fun, supportive office environment

The person we're looking for

We're not looking for someone who simply wants another recruitment job.

We're looking for someone who wants to do recruitment really well.

Someone who gets satisfaction from finding the perfect candidate, building trust with a school, solving a staffing problem and knowing you've made a difference.

If you're an experienced recruiter who has reached the point where you'd happily give up the sales targets but definitely don't want to give up recruitment, we'd love to hear from you.

If this sounds like the type of recruitment role you've been looking for, apply today.

We'd love to have a conversation and tell you more about Engage Education, the Manchester team and what we're building.
