• Keeping Us Organised: Manage and maintain high-quality data in our ATS, making sure hiring teams have the best insights to make smart decisions.
• Bringing Our Job Ads to Life: Draft engaging job specs that reflect our culture and attract the right people.

We're looking for someone who loves connecting with people, thrives on organisation, and enjoys making hiring processes run smoothly.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• You know how to find great candidates - especially in the UK across Audit, Accounting, Tax, or professional services. If you've worked within the South African market is also a bonus!
• You're data-savvy - you can track, manage, and report on hiring data with accuracy and provide meaningful insight.
• You've worked with an ATS before - if you've used Pinpoint, even better! (If not, we'll get you up to speed.)
• You're great at screening candidates - you know how to ask the right questions to find the best fit.
• You keep things running smoothly - whether it's updating templates, coordinating interviews, or managing recruitment processes, you make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

You may be the sort of person who is:

• Detail-Oriented: You notice the little things that make a big difference.
• Proactive: You don't wait for great candidates to come to you-you go out and find them!
• Creative Problem-Solver: You love thinking outside the box to find and attract the right people.
• Empathetic Listener: Truly listens to what candidates and hiring managers are saying (and sometimes what they're not), ensuring everyone's needs are met and understood.
• Organised & Efficient: Juggling multiple tasks, deadlines, and candidates? No problem.

At Sumer, we know everyone's journey is different. That's why we're committed to fairness, removing barriers and giving people the support they need to do their best work. If you need any support during the hiring process, just let us know.

Our values represent what matters most to us and guide how we work every day:

• We Shine Together
• We Do the Right Thing
• We Make It Count

We know diverse teams make us stronger. That's why we're creating an inclusive workplace where everyone belongs and differences are valued and celebrated.
