Travis Perkins plc. You’ve probably heard of us, you’d have seen our trucks on the road, and more than likely would have seen a bag of our sand on your neighbours driveway. But there is more to us than just that. With over 20 businesses in the group, spanning over 1,900+ locations, we are the UK's largest distributor of building materials to the building, construction and home improvement markets.

We have an army of over 25,000+ colleagues that are committed to providing an unrivaled level of service to our customers. Our In house Resourcing Team is now looking for an Internal Recruiter to assist our Branch Management teams with their ongoing recruitment demands.

You don’t have to have worked in Internal Recruitment before. The majority of our team started off in agency recruitment. What is important to us, is that you’re focused on delivering an exceptional candidate experience throughout the hiring process. We want every candidate that has interacted with us to feel they’ve had a good experience with our business, regardless of their application outcome.

The experience of our Branch Manager’s and Regional Directors is key too. You’ll be working alongside them to provide expert support and advice as and when needed, not being afraid to challenge and work differently to deliver great outcomes. We have a number of “niche” positions within our businesses, so you’ll be experienced in sourcing and attracting candidates from all different channels.

This position will primarily be focusing on supporting our Specialist Driver Recruiter with the ever growing demand of HGV Drivers across 4 of our businesses spanning over 700 locations. It’s common knowledge that there is a HGV Driver shortage across the UK, so filling these vacancies isn't easy. We’ve made great progress over the last 18 months, and we continue to build a pipeline of suitable and interested drivers ready to be introduced to our Branch Managers. You’ll be responsible for this too. We look out for each other in our team, and when the going gets tough, we all chip in to help each other out, so be prepared for variety!

Anyway, enough about us, what about you? 

We’ve been working from home for most of this year so we’re flexible on location, however, there will be an element of travel to Northampton as and when the time is right. We work Monday to Friday, 08:45 - 17:00, but happy to be flexible for the right person. We offer a competitive salary, 25 days annual leave + Bank Holidays. We offer staff discounts across some of our businesses, but we also have “MyPerks” which is an online platform full of discounts and offers across thousands of UK retailers.

This role is a Fixed Term Contract with the potential to be extended.

If you’re up for a challenge and want to become a member of a successful, respected and FUN Internal Recruitment team, then APPLY NOW!
