This is an exciting role, where your recruitment and talent acquisition skills and experience will help us make a real difference, supporting our lifesaving work across the globe!

You will oversee the end-to-end recruitment process including sourcing, selecting and interviewing candidates, as well as offer administration and ensuring successful completion of new starter on-boarding.  Communication skills are essential to this role as day-to-day the role holder will pro-actively source talent for vacancies (using a range of channels); coordinate recruitment processes: provide recruitment & selection advice to hiring managers; liaise with hiring managers to understand vacancy briefs; plan and arrange interviews; advertise jobs internally and externally, review job applications and deliver a first-class candidate experience at all stages.  This is a fast-paced role reporting into a Senior HR Manager and requires a high level of initiative, pro-activeness and strong multi-tasking skills.

You will also recognise that good recruitment and selection practice can make a real difference to MAG’s success in saving lives and building futures.
