Business Administration Apprentice

What will you actually be doing? 

The Business Administrator role is pretty broad, and that’s deliberate. Your main job will be helping our Recruitment Consultants do what they do best, while learning how a recruitment business works from the inside out. And if you read some of the list below and think, “I have absolutely no idea how to do that”, good. Nobody does until they’re taught. We’ll train you. 

Recruitment support:

Answering the phone and fielding calls  Actioning bounce-back emails  Using our CRM system to input coding, information and data  Uploading candidate applications to our CRM  Formatting candidate CVs  Adding meeting notes to our CRM  Uploading job adverts to third-party websites  Using resources such as LinkedIn to identify hiring managers and HR professionals  Searching job boards to spot businesses that are recruiting and sharing opportunities with our recruitment team  Completing initial Candidate Registration calls, gathering information and passing it to the appropriate Recruitment Consultant  Helping the team put together client proposals and assignment updates  Keeping an eye on FMCG industry news and sharing anything interesting with the team  Getting involved in ad-hoc business projects, including keeping information up to date, system management and business growth projects  Marketing support Take ownership of and manage our company Instagram and TikTok accounts  Creating company presentations to support our Directors  Keeping our internal communications screens, YoDeck, updated  Helping plan team events  Getting involved in ad-hoc marketing projects with our Workplace Manager 

So yes, you could be updating the CRM in the morning and helping plan a summer party in the afternoon. We did say it was varied.

Training:

This apprenticeship will be workplace delivery meaning there is no day release to college.

Training Outcome:

We want to develop someone who could build their career with Signature. Our aim is to progress our apprentices into recruitment roles once they’ve completed their studies, and there may also be opportunities to move into areas such as marketing as the business grows. We can’t guarantee a particular role at the end, but we can guarantee that we’ll give you plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and discover what you’re good at. 

If you’re ambitious, we like that.

Employer Description:

Welcome to Signature. 

So, who are we? 

We’re a recruitment company. 

But probably not the kind you’re imagining. 

We specialise in FMCG, which stands for Fast Moving Consumer Goods. Basically, all the brands and products you see, eat, drink and use every day. 

We help those businesses find brilliant people for roles across sales, marketing and other commercial functions, from junior management right through to board level. 

Our vision is simple: to change the way you feel about recruitment. 

Recruitment sometimes gets a bad reputation for being transactional, salesy and all about the numbers. We want to do things differently. We care about the people we work with, the relationships we build and doing a genuinely good job. 

We’re a small, ambitious team with big plans, which means you won’t disappear into the background here. You’ll know everyone, work with everyone and have plenty of opportunities to get involved.

 

Our values matter to us

They’re not words we stuck on a wall five years ago and forgot about. They genuinely influence how we work and who we hire.

Ownership -Taking individual responsibility for our actions. Integrity - Doing what we say we’re going to do and building trust with the people around us. Relationship-led - Thinking beyond the immediate win and making decisions based on the long-term relationship. Kaizen - A fancy word for continuous improvement. Keep learning, keep developing and aim to be a little better than you were yesterday. Team Spirit - No lone wolves. We help each other, motivate each other and celebrate the wins together.
