Job Title: Performance Marketing Specialist (Recruitment Focus) Salary: Up to £45,000 Location: Manchester / Hybrid Duration: 12 month FTC (with the ability to become permanent)

Why this role matters Growth is being held back by one thing: not enough of the right people. This company's service is in demand, the sites are ready but without sufficient staff, capacity sits unused. This role exists to fix the hiring funnel.

The challenge Recruitment advertising has been treated as admin. Ads go live, spend ticks over, but nobody tracks what works or shifts budget where it’s needed. Change is required to optimise effectiveness. Therefore, we need a performance marketer who loves data, testing, and optimisation, and who can apply that skill set to candidate acquisition.

What you’ll do Own the recruitment performance funnel: impressions → clicks → applications → qualified hires Run campaigns on job marketplaces and boards, keeping high-priority roles visible Test, track, and shift budget quickly. Weekly iteration is the norm, not the exception Report with clarity on cost per application, cost per qualified application, conversion rates, and time to fill
