£18-36 GBP / hour

I’m in the middle of launching a brand-new recruitment agency and need a seasoned recruiter who can jump in immediately and run the full hiring cycle for our very first clients. Your day-to-day will revolve around sourcing promising entry-level talent, mainly through LinkedIn and the leading job boards, then guiding each applicant through screening, interview scheduling, offer negotiation, and final onboarding. Because we’re a start-up, the role is wider than pure sourcing: you’ll also field candidate questions, keep everyone informed on next steps, and make sure each new hire has a smooth first week. If you already work comfortably with LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and a lightweight ATS, you’ll feel right at home here. Strong written updates, quick turnarounds, and a knack for balancing candidate experience with client expectations are essential. By the end of each hiring round I expect a concise report of outreach numbers, interview progress, and confirmed starts so we can fine-tune the process together. If you thrive on building workflows from scratch and can secure quality entry-level hires without needing hand-holding, let’s talk.

As an expert in the eCommerce industry, I understand firsthand the importance of finding and attracting the right talent to help a business grow. Despite having a different skill set, my experience and approach make me well-equipped for this recruiter role. My proficiency in Excel, organization, as well as strong analytical skills, would prove vital in providing you with up-to-date and relevant reports on critical hiring metrics such as outreach numbers, interview progress, and confirmed starts. Moreover, I have extensive experience in providing not just hiring processes but also ongoing support to clients much like what your agency requires. In the eCommerce space, client communication and service are paramount, which I believe aligns well with your need for someone who can efficiently field candidate questions and prioritize the candidate experience without losing sight of client expectations. Lastly, I have always thrived on building workflows from scratch that optimize effectiveness - a perfect fit for a start-up venture like yours. Hiring entry-level candidates requires careful navigation through multiple platforms which I am proficient in - LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and ATS. If you’re looking for a versatile professional who can hit the ground running and enhance your agency’s success through efficient recruitment, look no further!

Hi there, Launching a new agency requires assembling a reliable, skilled core team quickly—without wasting time sorting through unqualified candidates. I can help you structure your hiring pipeline, source vetted talent, and screen applicants to ensure only high-match candidates reach your final interview stage. How I can support your launch: Role Definition & Sourcing: Crafting clear job specifications and sourcing candidates across multiple channels (active outreach and inbound screening). Thorough Pre-Screening: Evaluating experience, communication skills, portfolio/work samples, and availability/rate expectations. Organized Candidate Pipeline: Maintaining a clean tracking dashboard (Google Sheets, Notion, or ATS) with candidate profiles, interview scorecards, and next steps for your review. Fast Turnaround: Focusing on quick, qualified shortlists so your agency can hit the ground running. Could you share a quick overview of which specific roles you need to hire first and your target launch timeline? Let’s discuss the details in chat. Best regards,

I've built hiring workflows for three early-stage tech companies, and I know this launch phase means you need someone who can own the full cycle without process overhead - sourcing entry-level talent on LinkedIn and job boards, screening, scheduling, negotiation, and making sure new hires land smoothly in week one. I'd prioritize candidate experience alongside client expectations right from day one, keeping everyone informed on next steps so there's no radio silence. The reporting piece is straightforward - I'd track outreach numbers, interview progress, and confirmed starts after each round so we can spot what's working and adjust. The thing most recruiters miss in startups is that your early hires set your culture, so I'd be selective about who moves through the funnel, not just volume-focused. I'm comfortable in LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, and lightweight ATS tools, and I work fast without needing check-ins. If you want to talk through the first client brief or how I'd structure the first week, let me know. Corné
