Day-to-day operating brief

What In-House Recruiter (Corporate) work looks like in practice

An In-House Recruiter manages vacancies directly for one employer, partnering with hiring managers from approval and sourcing through assessment and offer. The role handles workforce plans, confidential vacancies, candidate data, interview evidence and agency suppliers. Terms should identify business units, locations, hybrid pattern, ATS access, requisition and offer authority, agency interaction, performance measures and the boundary between recruitment recommendations and final employment or pay decisions. Hiring urgency should not bypass headcount, assessment or pre-employment approvals. Assessment records should show who evaluated each criterion and which evidence supported the recommendation. This helps the recruiter challenge incomplete feedback and prevents an informal preference being converted into an apparently objective hiring record. Declined candidates also need accurate status and communication ownership.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Open approved vacancies in the ATS.
  • Advise managers on sourcing and assessment.
  • Source and communicate with candidates.
  • Coordinate interviews and feedback.
