Excellent administration, organisation and attention to detail
Strong communication skills, confident dealing with stakeholders at all levels
An approachable manner in person and on the telephone
Good time management, able to multi-task and work well under pressure
Self-motivated, with an enthusiastic can-do attitude and a creative eye for improvement
Experience in a recruitment or resourcing role within legal or professional services is helpful, but not required. Experience with graduate schemes, assessment centres or employer branding would be a bonus.
