Executive Researcher

Are you interested in working as an Executive Researcher, looking to move away from a corporate style brand of recruitment, governed by KPI’s, set hours, and capped bonus to a more boutique style recruitment business that gives you full autonomy and the ability to use your creative and research skills to support the business.

Founded in 2019, this business is not only focused on search and selection of talent but also on retention. As such they work with a team of consulting partners and services to offer clients solutions to ever-changing team and business dynamics in an ever-changing climate.  They provide advice and consulting services in coaching and mentoring services, wellbeing in the workplace, personality and ability assessment tools, Finance, Coaching and Mentoring, HR and Outplacement Services and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

My client is looking for a focused Executive Researcher to join their growing team. You will be an excellent communicator with the ability to establish professional relationships in which you will convey clarity, conviction, and excellent market knowledge.  This opportunity will introduce you to the world of recruitment and career management where you’ll be working closely with the board of directors on key assignments and key clients.

This role would particularly suit someone who is tenacious, focused and has excellent written communication skills. They particularly welcome applicants who display a demonstrable interest and/or experience in English language, creative writing and communications.

This is a key role within the organisation. Each project that the business works on is unique and so is their response. You’ll be working with the board on key projects.

This will involve:

• Understanding the job brief: strengths, opportunities, unique selling points as well as potential risks and complications.
• Identifying suitable individuals on the market through research, market mapping, and using LinkedIn.
• Writing excellent and engaging marketing material to describe the opportunity and attract best in class candidates.
• You’ll be working on identifying some of the most exciting clients in the region and understanding whether or not they may be in a position to grow their team.
• You’ll be involved in proposal discussions – with the Board and with their clients - and assisting with drafting elements of the proposal
• You’ll be providing research information to provide commercial and category context for each proposal

If you’re interested, you will also have ample opportunity to write articles on industry related topics, wellbeing in the workplace or whatever seems pertinent to you!

You’ll know you’re right for the role if you:

• Enjoy working with and understanding people.
• You’ll be interested in what makes people tick
• You’ll be adept at understanding the subtext
• You’ll be excellent at adapting your style and communication to suit the individual
• Enjoy working in a fast paced and people centred environment where your voice counts
• You’ll be excited by the idea of adding value, suggesting improvements and having your voice heard.
• You’re naturally curious and build relationships easily
• Have a strong grasp of the power of the written word and how to create engaging content.
• Have some sales experience in any kind of environment – you’re good at identifying what people need and want and finding a solution for them.

The offer

• A chance to grow and develop in this role and the organisation led by your passions and your interests.
• To work with a highly experienced and dynamic team in a non-hierarchical culture.
• To work in a business that vales equity highly with competitive salaries and profit share schemes available to each team member.
• To work in a business that values wellbeing and work life balance
