Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day basis with the Trades & Labour team I would ring candidates and check their availability for work along with offering them jobs in their field of expertise if there was one available.
With the Human Resources team I search through the Job Boards, check CV's and register new and returning candidates and pass their details through to the consultants who work with client on their jobs.
