- Communication skills
- Personality and behavioural fit
- Motivation and attitude
- Professionalism
- Reliability and accountability
- Ability to meet the requirements of the role
- Make informed recommendations on whether candidates should progress.
- Exercise independent judgement rather than relying solely on predetermined checklists.

- Build strong relationships with candidates and provide a professional candidate experience.
- Clearly communicate candidate strengths, concerns, and overall suitability to hiring stakeholders.
- Maintain accurate candidate and recruitment records.
- Collaborate with the wider recruitment and Talent Delivery team.
- Manage multiple vacancies and candidates while maintaining quality and attention to detail.
- Take ownership of recruitment decisions and follow candidates through the process.
- Maintain strict confidentiality when handling candidate and client information.
- Continuously look for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of the recruitment process.
- Proven experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, executive recruitment, or a similar role.
- Strong candidate assessment and interviewing experience.
- Demonstrated ability to make independent judgement calls when assessing candidates.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strong spoken and written English.
- Ability to quickly understand different personalities and assess cultural and behavioural fit.
- Strong critical thinking and decision-making skills.
- High level of integrity, discretion, and confidentiality.
- Ability to build trust with both candidates and clients.
- Strong organisational and time-management skills.
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of responsibilities.
- Confidence working with minimal supervision.
