Recruitment Administrator – Leeds
A leading national law firm is looking for an organised, enthusiastic Recruitment Administrator to join its friendly, close-knit HR team.
Working closely with the Recruitment Manager, you’ll help deliver recruitment across all roles and office locations—from advertising vacancies and screening applications to coordinating interviews, assessments and onboarding. You’ll also support graduate recruitment, including vacation schemes, trainee programmes, assessment centres and careers fairs.
What you’ll be doing
Managing applications and recruitment inboxes
Advertising vacancies and maintaining accurate candidate records
Screening CVs and preparing candidate shortlists
Coordinating interviews, assessments and candidate feedback
Liaising with hiring managers, agencies and internal teams
Supporting graduate recruitment campaigns and careers events
Completing references, DBS and Right to Work checks
Ensuring recruitment data is managed in line with GDPR requirements
What we’re looking for
You’ll be a confident communicator with excellent organisation, administration and attention to detail. You’ll be comfortable juggling priorities, building relationships with stakeholders and taking ownership of your work.
You’ll also need:
A 2:1 degree or equivalent
Strong Microsoft Office skills
Excellent time-management and communication skills
A proactive, approachable and positive attitude
The confidence to work independently and escalate issues when required
Previous recruitment experience—particularly within legal or professional services—is advantageous but not essential. Experience with graduate schemes, assessment centres or employer branding would also be beneficial.
This is a fantastic opportunity to build your recruitment career within a respected professional-services organisation offering a supportive, collaborative working environment.
The role is based in Leeds, with occasional travel to London and regional careers fairs.
