Original job description

Penta Search Group is a specialist recruitment and executive search firm partnering with organizations across North America, the UK, and Europe to identify and secure exceptional talent.

We operate across five core industry sectors: Life Sciences, Industrials, Chemicals, Energy & Natural Resources, and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG).

Our consultants work with leading multinational organizations, high-growth businesses, and private equity-backed companies to deliver recruitment solutions across critical technical, operational, and leadership functions.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an ambitious and capable Recruiter to join our team and play a key role in delivering high-quality recruitment services to our clients.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a recruiter who enjoys the candidate-facing side of recruitment and wants to develop their career within a specialist search environment.

Working closely with our Recruitment Consultants and Directors, you will be responsible for identifying, engaging, assessing, and securing qualified candidates for client-mandated searches.

You will work across a variety of challenging assignments, helping our consultants build strong candidate pipelines and deliver successful outcomes for our clients.

This position is focused on candidate identification, engagement, and recruitment delivery rather than new business development.

We are looking for someone who enjoys research, knows how to find difficult-to-reach talent, and takes pride in delivering a high standard of candidate experience.

Key Responsibilities

Candidate Sourcing & Market Mapping

Partner with Recruitment Consultants to understand client requirements, target candidate profiles, and search strategies.
Conduct targeted research and market mapping to identify relevant talent across specific industries, companies, and functional disciplines.
Utilize LinkedIn Recruiter, recruitment databases, professional networks, and other sourcing tools to identify potential candidates.
Develop and maintain strong talent pipelines for current and future client assignments.
Identify and engage passive candidates who may not be actively considering a career move.

Candidate Engagement & Assessment

Proactively approach prospective candidates through telephone, email, LinkedIn, and other appropriate channels.
Conduct initial screening conversations to assess candidates' experience, technical capabilities, career motivations, compensation expectations, and suitability.
Present career opportunities in a compelling, professional, and accurate manner.
Build strong relationships with candidates, maintaining regular communication throughout the recruitment process.
Prepare candidate profiles and screening notes for review by the Recruitment Consultant.

Search Execution & Delivery

Work collaboratively with Consultants to deliver searches against agreed timelines and client expectations.
Coordinate candidate submissions, interview scheduling, feedback, and follow-up activities.
Support candidates throughout the interview and selection process, helping maintain engagement and momentum.
Assist with offer management, candidate negotiations, and securing successful placements.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate records, search activity, and pipeline information within our recruitment CRM.
Contribute to search strategy discussions, sharing market intelligence and feedback from candidate conversations.

What We're Looking For

Experience & Background

2–4 years of experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, candidate sourcing, or a related search function.
Previous experience within an agency recruitment environment is preferred, although relevant in-house talent acquisition experience will also be considered.
Demonstrated ability to identify, approach, and engage passive candidates.
Experience conducting candidate screening and qualification interviews.
Familiarity with LinkedIn Recruiter, applicant tracking systems, and recruitment CRM platforms.
Exposure to technical, professional, specialist, or management-level recruitment would be advantageous.

Skills & Attributes

Strong research and candidate sourcing capabilities, with a resourceful approach to identifying talent.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Confidence engaging with experienced professionals and senior-level candidates.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple searches and competing priorities.
A proactive, persistent, and results-oriented approach.
High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering quality work.
A collaborative mindset and willingness to work closely with Consultants and colleagues.
Genuine curiosity about different industries, businesses, and professional disciplines.
A strong sense of accountability and ownership over assigned recruitment activities.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is about more than simply generating candidate lists.

We want someone who takes ownership of their searches, understands what makes a strong candidate, and consistently contributes to successful recruitment outcomes.

You will be expected to:

Build well-researched, relevant candidate pipelines for assigned searches.
Consistently identify and engage qualified candidates who meet client requirements.
Deliver high-quality candidate shortlists within agreed timelines.
Maintain strong candidate engagement throughout the recruitment process.
Work effectively with Consultants to convert candidate activity into interviews, offers, and successful placements.
Develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the industries and functions we recruit within.

Why Join Penta Search Group?

Penta is an ambitious, growing recruitment business with a clear vision for the future.

We offer an environment where talented recruiters can develop their skills, gain exposure to complex and interesting assignments, and work alongside experienced recruitment professionals.

You can expect:

Exposure to international recruitment assignments and leading global organizations.
The opportunity to develop expertise within specialist industry sectors.
Direct collaboration with experienced Recruitment Consultants and Directors.
A supportive, collaborative, and performance-driven working environment.
Ongoing training, coaching, and professional development.
Opportunities for career progression as our business continues to expand.
Competitive compensation and a performance-based incentive structure.

Interested in Joining Us?

If you have a passion for recruitment, enjoy identifying and engaging exceptional talent, and want to develop your career with a growing international search firm, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
