Administration & Research Manager - Work From Home

**FULL TIME OR PART TIME, REMOTE WORK, EXCEPTIONAL TRAINING** As a retained search recruitment firm, we support global organisations that need our knowledge and expertise to find, assess skilled professionals; to be hired to work for their companies around the world. A large part of our work involves global research - checking whether these target professionals exist, the accuracy of their CV’s, what skills could they offer, and more. Due to our own firms continued expansion, we need to add another person with exceptional administration skills to join our global research team and on a daily basis the responsibilities in this role will include: - Using a variety of research methods to source specific senior-level profiles globally, and booking them to speak with one of our expert career advisors - Managing ongoing data analysis and reports - Managing the many unsolicited job applicants who contact us, in a manner that treats people fairly and respectfully - Working with our broader team to ensure all compliance, regulations and project milestones are met - Scheduling calls and meetings between our firm and executive job seekers, and between our employer client companies and executive job seekers, plus managing all international travel arrangements as needed - Managing our internal systems to ensure all records are accurately maintained You won't need previous experience of working within a global search firm. However, you will need to be proficient with zooming about Word and Excel documents, and have a level of general administration ability that has enabled you to finesse and successfullydemonstrate these essential core competencies: - _Advanced written and verbal English_. We’re dealing with executives all around the globe so we need exceptional communication skills. Your spoken English needs to be fit for a board room and you must be able to accurately proofread multi-page documents - _Respect, empathy and adaptable interpersonal skills._ We’re dealing with people of different nations, faiths, sexualities, genders, and career aspirations, typically with 20 years plus career experience. We need to understand their personal andprofessional motivations and adjust our working styles to support them to be successful wherever and whenever we can - _Resilience. _Every day has deadlines to be met, so if you cannot handle levels of pressure on a sustained basis, then this isn’t the job for you. - _Emotional intelligence_. Read up on it. You cannot be successful in this job without it. - _Integrity and good manner_s. Reputation is everything in our industry. So you need to be the kind of person who delivers what you promise. And have the organisational skills to make sure you follow up on everything, all of the time. - _Sensational instincts with a naturally consultative style_. You need to be hard-wired with an innate sense of knowing when to push, to "drill down" on an answer, to know that something just doesn't add up. If your "gut feel" isn't a reliable barometer,this isn't the job for you. - What are we offering?_ - Home office work arrangement with flexibility for full time or part-time work - Intensive and extensive training in all aspects of the retained search industry (we’re great at getting newcomers up to speed and credible in this profession) - A company culture that isn’t just paying lip service to quality, service, respect - Highly varied and interesting work - Grown-up work environment (where you are expected to contribute ideas that add to the ongoing growth of the company rather than being "just an employee") - A salary that only goes north as you add more value (with potential for pension and annual profit-sharing bonus as part of your package) - Planned travel (once travel is allowable again) for team events in London, Zurich, Beziers (you’ll need a current passport and full Covid vaccinations) - Fantastic people to work with (even if we say so ourselves ) We have no time for company politics, and whilst we treat our work seriously, we still manage to have fun If this sounds like the kind of career role that just might be of interest to you, and that would build on your stable corporate work history; please do make contact directly - we promise to respond within 24 working hours. Our preference is for a professional already based within or able to readily travel to Sidcup, Kent in South East England, to enable ease of training and to attend team events from time to time.
