  • Supporting the onboarding and offboarding of Candidates and Clients by providing guidance on contractual requirements, timesheet processes and payroll systems.
  • Responding to Candidate and Client queries via email and telephone, delivering timely, accurate and professional support before, during and after assignments.
  • Acting as a trusted point of contact for operational, payroll, invoicing and contract-related enquiries, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently and stakeholders remain informed.
  • Proactively communicating with Candidates, Clients and internal teams to provide updates, manage expectations, and facilitate smooth processes throughout the assignment lifecycle.
  • Collaborating closely with Recruitment Consultants, Finance, Payroll, Legal and other support functions to coordinate timelines, manage data flows and ensure seamless cooperation between Front, Middle and Back Office teams.

The ideal person for this role is detail-oriented and proactive, with a strong focus on data accuracy, process compliance, and collaboration across teams.
