- Communicating with candidates regarding available opportunities
- Supporting candidates through the onboarding and placement process
- Developing an understanding of recruitment legislation, compliance and best practice
- Learning how different recruitment sectors operate
- Working closely with the wider team to ensure candidates receive a high level of service
As you develop, you will progress into:
- Managing candidates through the full recruitment lifecycle
- Developing relationships with clients and understanding their recruitment requirements
- Business development and generating new opportunities
- Making outbound calls to prospective clients
- Winning new business and developing existing accounts
- Taking responsibility for vacancies from initial requirement through to placement

Things to consider
Our office is located close to Heathrow Airport, which you can see from the office.
You must be able to travel reliably to our office for the required working hours.
A busy recruitment environment
Aviation recruitment operates around the needs of the industry, and many of the roles we recruit for operate 24/7. While the apprentice will work standard office hours of Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm and will not be expected to work overtime outside these hours, the role requires someone who understands the importance of keeping candidates and colleagues updated.
For example, candidates may need to be contacted regarding interviews, placements or changes to their availability. You will therefore need to be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where communication and responsiveness are important.
You don't need previous recruitment experience. The right attitude, personality, work ethic and ambition are more important.
The Team
You will be joining a young, energetic and supportive team and will work closely with our team, who will provide day-to-day guidance and support as you learn the candidate side of the business.
