You don't need a recruitment background.
You need to be great with people.
If you're a natural on the phone, you build trust fast, and you genuinely enjoy helping people navigate big career decisions, then this role was built for you.
E4 People is growing its Permanent Division, and we're looking for a Candidate Manager to be the engine behind our perm team's pipeline.
You'll be the person our nurses and healthcare professionals hear from first and the reason they stay engaged all the way through to their next big career move.
What you'll actually be doing
This is a candidate focused role.
Your world is people: attracting them, understanding them, qualifying them, and making sure the right ones are ready and excited when a permanent opportunity comes up.
Day to day, that looks like:
Sourcing candidates through SEEK, LinkedIn, Facebook groups, job boards, and direct outreach, building active talent pools for priority role types
Responding to inbound enquiries and converting interest into fully screened, qualified candidates
Running phone screens and structured interviews to understand what candidates really want from a permanent move
Preparing detailed candidate profiles and briefing our Permanent Recruitment Consultants on who's ready and why
Staying in regular contact with candidates in the pipeline so nobody goes cold
Following up with placed candidates through their notice period and into their current role
Keeping our CRM accurate and your pipeline data clean so you always know exactly where things stand
Who you are
We care far more about how you operate than what's on your CV.
You'll thrive here if you:




Are genuinely comfortable spending a big chunk of your day on the phone and you're good at it
Build trust quickly and keep people engaged over time, even when they're not ready to move yet
Are organised enough to manage a busy pipeline across multiple candidates and role types without dropping the ball
Are curious about the healthcare and nursing sector and motivated by knowing your work helps people land meaningful careers
Pick up systems and technology quickly and don't need to be pushed to find a better way of doing things
Take rejection or a quiet week in your stride; you reset quickly and keep going
A background in recruitment, sales, customer service, hospitality, or any high-contact people role will set you up well.
What won't work is someone who finds phone-based outreach draining, this role lives on it.
