Full job descriptionAbout Mixxos Group
Mixxos Group is a leading recruitment business specialising in head office and commercial roles across the Milton Keynes, Luton, and Bedford regions. We work with a diverse range of employers, from ambitious SMEs to established corporates, helping them attract and retain the talent that drives their business forward.
We are committed to delivering an outstanding experience, championing diversity, equity and inclusion, and going the extra mile in everything we do.
Role Overview
The Recruitment Administrator is a key support role on our busy temporary recruitment desk. Reporting to our Delivery Director and working closely with our recruiters, you will take ownership of much of the administration that keeps payroll, temporary workers, candidates, clients, compliance, and day to day desk activity running smoothly.
This is a fast paced, varied role for someone who is highly organised, accurate, proactive, and comfortable managing several priorities at once. By taking control of the administrative burden, you will allow our recruiters to spend more time speaking with candidates, supporting clients, and winning new business. Previous recruitment experience is not essential; we are equally interested in strong administrators from other fast paced environments.

*Act as a reliable day to day point of contact for clients on attendance, availability, timesheets, and general temporary staffing queries
*Support recruiters with vacancy, candidate, and client administration to keep activity moving at pace
*Identify issues early, take ownership where possible, and escalate appropriately when additional support is required
Lead Generation and Commercial Support
*Research companies, vacancies, and market activity to identify potential new business opportunities
*Identify relevant hiring managers and decision makers and build accurate prospect lists
*Spot recruitment opportunities through inbound calls, client conversations, online research, and day to day market activity
