Join Our Growing Recruitment Firm as a Recruitment Associate!

Are you ambitious, driven, and ready to do more than just a job? At Square 1 Recruitment, we’re not only looking for a Recruitment Associate—we’re looking for someone passionate about building a fulfilling career in Talent Acquisition.

About Us:
Established in 2018, Square 1 Recruitment is a growing boutique recruitment firm known for our personalised approach and deep industry expertise. Over the last six years, we’ve built a trusted network of clients and candidates by delivering tailored recruitment solutions.

We pride ourselves on upholding the highest ethics, industry standards, and best practices, and we’re excited to welcome a new Recruitment Associate as we continue to expand our reach and impact in the recruitment industry.

Coordinate and lead video interviews to further evaluate candidates' qualifications, experience, and cultural fit.

3. Communication

Facilitate clear and consistent communication with candidates, clients, colleagues, and business partners.
Provide regular updates to candidates on their recruitment process and next steps, deliver feedback, and handle any necessary rejection communications with sensitivity.
Conduct reference checks with previous employers.
Manage start-date communications and conduct follow-up calls post-placement to ensure smooth onboarding and a positive candidate experience.
Make follow-up and feedback calls to maintain engagement and address any questions or concerns.

4. Database Management

Input, update, and organize data in the ATS (ZOHO) for accuracy and efficiency.
Perform regular database maintenance and clean-up projects.
Handle candidate submissions and application tracking to ensure smooth workflows.

5. General Office Administration

Oversee diary management for client and candidate meetings.
