Marketing Executive

At Ronald James, we help some of the UK's most exciting tech and digital businesses hire exceptional people. Over the last decade, we've built a reputation as one of the North East's leading specialist recruitment agencies by combining great people, modern marketing and genuine industry expertise.

We're looking for a creative, ambitious Recruitment Marketing Executive to join our growing team.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a passion for marketing, social media, digital content or employer branding who wants a role that's creative, commercial and people-focused. You'll play a key part in attracting top talent through innovative marketing campaigns, whilst developing into a recruitment professional with excellent earning and career progression opportunities.

The role:

As a Recruitment Marketing Executive, you'll work closely with our consultants to build talent communities, promote exciting opportunities and engage candidates across a range of digital channels.

No two days are the same. One day you could be creating a LinkedIn campaign for a new client, the next you'll be speaking with candidates, building relationships and helping someone secure their next career move.

You'll learn the recruitment industry from the ground up while using marketing to make a real commercial impact.

What you'll be doing:

• Proactively source high-quality technology and digital professionals using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, referrals and other sourcing tools.
• Build and nurture talent pipelines for current and future hiring requirements across multiple clients.
• Engage passive candidates through personalised outreach across LinkedIn, email and other channels.
• Qualify candidates by understanding their experience, motivations, salary expectations and career goals.
• Write compelling job adverts and candidate marketing campaigns to attract the best talent.
• Support consultants by identifying suitable candidates, managing shortlists and coordinating the early stages of the recruitment process.
• Build long-term relationships with candidates, becoming a trusted point of contact throughout their career.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and activity within the CRM and recruitment systems.
• Keep up to date with trends across the technology market, recruitment and candidate attraction strategies.
• Contribute to Ronald James' brand by creating LinkedIn content, promoting opportunities and supporting recruitment marketing initiatives.

About you:

We're open-minded on background. You might already have experience in marketing, recruitment, sales or customer-facing roles, or you could be a graduate looking for your first career opportunity.

You'll likely have:

• A genuine interest in marketing, social media or digital content.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence speaking with people and building relationships.
• A creative mindset with great attention to detail.
• Commercial awareness and a desire to learn.
• Self-motivation and a proactive attitude.
• Resilience and ambition to succeed in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience using LinkedIn or social media professionally is advantageous but not essential.

Why Ronald James?

We've built Ronald James around people.

We believe recruitment should be modern, consultative and powered by great marketing. We invest heavily in our team, celebrate success together and create genuine opportunities for people to build long-term careers.

Whether your ambition is to become an expert recruiter, move into leadership or specialise in recruitment marketing, we'll give you the training, support and opportunities to get there.

If you're creative, driven and excited by the idea of combining marketing with a people-focused career, we'd love to hear from you.
