International Recruitment Manager

Contract Scotland was established to redefine recruitment and set a new standard, to challenge how the recruitment industry works.
We don’t work to a traditional target and commission model, which gives us the unique ability to provide our customers with an objective and transparent service that delivers true value and lasting impact to their lives and businesses.
Our international business was created in 2010 to supply staff to the construction, engineering & property industry outwith Scotland & the UK. Within that remit, our primary location focus is currently Australia, but we also work with employers in Canada, New Zealand, the Middle East, and elsewhere.
Our aim is to be regarded as the local experts by employers seeking to recruit staff from Scotland/the UK, the first point of call for job seekers planning to relocate, as well as a trusted partner to those who have already relocated & might be considering a new position.
We have a massive opportunity to use our existing reputation & network (painstakingly built over the last 35 years) to expand/build on our work internationally and this role will put you at the centre of it.  You’ll be working alongside an experienced Director with over 18 years experience in recruitment across Scotland/the UK and overseas.
To be successful, you’ll need to be a proficient recruiter (you might currently be in a Senior/Principal Consultant, Managing Consultant, or similar role), ideally with both previous experience in international recruitment, and a passion for it.  Experience in the construction or engineering sphere would be an advantage.
Your role will be pretty varied, but will definitely need you to;

• Influence & be in charge of our international recruitment strategy.
• Conduct regular country, market and sector specific analysis.
• Have oversight/involvement with P&L for your part of the business.
• Carry out strategic business development & relationship building with targeted customers in selected regions – both remotely, and on occasion, travelling to that region.
• React to & assess alternative opportunities as they arise.
• Handle negotiations with customers.
• Organise events & recruitment ‘trips’ with customers coming to the UK.
• Deliver recruitment solutions.
• Manage a high volume of job seeker interest, assessing those applications, and proactively approaching key targets utilising market-leading tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Build, manage and lead a high-performing team.
  

Given the nature of international recruitment (different timezones etc), some flexibility will be required to react to the requirements of our customers
Worth noting that we have a comprehensive benefits package for the team at Contract Scotland, so you can expect;

• A market leading company car/car allowance scheme.
• Uncapped profit share.
• Excellent private health insurance (no excess) covering both physical & mental health.
• Hybrid/remote working.
• Enhanced annual leave allowance plus additional days for loyalty.
• Extra day off on your birthday.
• Use of a modern holiday home on the banks of Loch Ness.
