Recruitment Director Jobs
As the need for top quality candidates becomes a key strategic consideration in these uncertain times, the role of the recruitment director is becoming ever more relevant. Gone are the days when large companies could advertise jobs and hand a pile of CVs to departmental managers; the modern company needs to be treating its staff as its most important asset, and representation at board level of recruitment expertise is the natural progression.
The recruitment director will have close working relationships with human resources, location managers and any appropriate departmental decision-makers, as well as the rest of the board and external recruiters. You will be expected to oversee recruitment drives and communicate needs of the board to the operational team so that a line of communication can be maintained throughout to ensure that strategic recruitment needs are understood and met.
The skills required
Because all businesses have their own unique set of recruitment needs, a director with experience of recruiting within the industry will be an obvious asset to candidates. However, the uniqueness of each business also means that most companies give strong consideration to good recruitment directors from outside the industry.
A proven ability to take ownership of the role in a manner befitting directorial status often reveals the successful candidate. This may include becoming a consultant to subdivisions, or even partners within a company. To be a successful recruitment director, an ability to show that you have experience with large recruitment budgets, and evidence that you have control of cost-benefit analysis, will be invaluable.
Recruitment Director Jobs in Warrington
Halfway between Liverpool and Manchester lies Warrington, a large town with an industrial and commercial pedigree to match some of the UK’s smaller cities. It followed the traditional Northern path of booming during the Industrial Revolution, specialising in steel, textiles and chemical industries, as well as some brewing for good measure, much of which remains to this day.
The town is extremely well connected, with three major motorways, the M62, the M6 and the M56 passing its north, east and south respectively and A roads radiating out in all directions, typical of the market town it once was. The River Mersey passes through it, as do the Manchester Ship Canal and Bridgewater Canal and two major railway lines. With its population of over 200,000 people and a shopping area to rival any city, it’s a bustling and attractive town to live in.
Around the town’s edges are hundreds of large and small businesses, including a large Unilever detergent factory in the east. There are lots of warehouses and logistics companies in the area, too, that take advantage of its excellent communications and skilled workforce. There are few places like Warrington when it comes to finding a Recruitment Director work, and there’s always a demand for such positions. Please get in touch if you’re looking for work in this area.
