You’re organised, people-focused and don’t mind a bit of banter while you get the job done. You want variety, responsibility and the chance to learn recruitment from the inside – in a team that actually enjoys working together.
As Recruitment Coordinator you’ll be the engine room of our candidate experience. You’ll draft ads, search databases, screen and schedule candidates, manage contracts and compliance, and build a clean, active talent pool. You’ll work closely with consultants on assigned roles and take a creative approach to sourcing.
This is a genuine office-based role in our Christchurch team. We work hard, move quickly and hold high standards on communication and data quality. In return you get strong career growth potential, real exposure to the full recruitment lifecycle, and the chance to develop commercial acumen in an award-winning specialist agency.
If you bring energy, humour and a candidate-first mindset, you’ll fit right in. We’re looking for someone who can self-manage, prioritise under pressure and keep the vibe positive when the day gets busy.
The Company
Profile Group is an award-winning specialist recruitment firm (including NZ Agency of the Year) connecting great people with great businesses across New Zealand. We focus on Accounting & Finance, Business Support, Executive Search and more – so our advice is sharp and our networks run deep. Our culture is unorthodox in the best way: loose, fun, people-first and proudly different. We value authenticity, genuine relationships and results that stick.
The Role
You’ll support the team with a mix of recruitment, candidate care and sales-support tasks. Key responsibilities include:
- Draft and load ads, search databases and take a creative approach to sourcing for assigned roles
- Screen candidates, complete reference checks and own interview scheduling
- Prepare contracts, monitor temp end dates and send extensions as needed
- Keep candidates updated promptly
- Build and maintain an active talent pool with regular weekly touch-points
- Complete MOJ and credit checks, and other compliance tasks
- Keep CRM records accurate and up to date, support Health & Safety, and help on special projects
You’re someone who enjoys the rhythm of a busy recruitment desk and brings both professionalism and personality. You’ll have:
- Strong verbal and written communication skills plus a natural sales focus – you like talking to people and moving things forward
- Solid Microsoft Office skills, database experience and the ability to keep records accurate under pressure
- Proven ability to work in a team, self-manage, prioritise and deliver consistent external service
- Ideally hold a tertiary qualification and/or office based experience
- A current driver’s licence and willingness to develop commercial acumen in recruitment
- Alignment with our values and, importantly, a genuine sense of humour
Full working rights are required – no sponsorship is offered.
