Candidate Manager

London Hybrid (Mon, Wed & Thurs in office)

At Joss Search, we partner with some of the world's most influential private equity and alternative investment firms, delivering exceptional EA, PA and operations talent into high-growth environments.

Now, we're looking for an experienced recruiter to join us as a Candidate Manager in our flagship London Perm Team - a high-performing, relationship-led group at the heart of our business.

Why Joss Search?

We're a boutique global brand with offices in London and New York along with a leading reputation for doing recruitment properly. High quality, deeply relational, and genuinely human.

We're also proud to be:

• Employee owned via an Employee Ownership Trust
• Award-winning - including APSCo and The Sunday Times Best Places to Work
• A business where top consultants bill £300k+, supported by exceptional Candidate Managers

This is a fast-paced, high-performance role where standards are high, learning is constant, and success is shared.

The Role

As a Candidate Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in building and nurturing our candidate network, the backbone of Joss Search.

You'll work closely with various levels of consultants to:

• Proactively source high-quality business support candidates (EA, PA and senior support roles).
• Conduct screening and registration interviews.
• Build long-term, trusted relationships with candidates.
• Shape and manage talent pools for repeat and retained searches.
• Deliver an outstanding, thoughtful candidate experience at every stage.

This is not CV-flicking recruitment. It's consultative, values-led and relationship-driven - with real ownership and commercial exposure.

About you

We're open on background, but curious about two profiles in particular:

• Recruitment experience, ideally within an agency environment and/or recruiting business support roles
  OR
• A PA / EA background, partnering closely with senior stakeholders, now keen to move into a people-focused, commercially rewarding career

What matters most is that you:

• Thrive in a high-pace, high-standards environment
• Care deeply about people, detail and delivery
• Are naturally relationship-oriented and commercially curious
• Enjoy being part of a collaborative, high-performing team

If you're ambitious, values-driven and want to build a long-term career, we'll invest in you. This is a very popular opportunity so APPLY NOW so that you don't miss out.
