About Alexander Daniels

Alexander Daniels is a boutique recruitment consultancy built on long-term relationships.

We work closely with clients and candidates across specialist markets, offering a tailored and informed approach to hiring. Our consultants bring real industry knowledge, allowing us to deliver a service that is both considered and effective.

We focus on quality over volume, taking the time to understand each brief properly and building partnerships that last.

Alongside this, we’ve built a strong and supportive team culture. We take our work seriously, but we also value enjoying what we do, creating an environment where people feel motivated, supported and part of something long-term.

Key Responsibilities

You will support consultants across the full recruitment lifecycle, including:

• Managing candidate and client information within our CRM system

• Supporting candidate sourcing and initial screening activity

• Coordinating interviews and managing schedules

• Preparing candidate documentation and profiles

• Assisting with market research 

• Support and advise the Managing Director to ensure he is as effective as possible

• Exposure to client and candidate interactions across different cultures and countries

• Knowledge of the energy market and hiring trends

There is a clear pathway into a consultant role, supported by ongoing development and training. We are looking for someone who is driven to progress, not someone looking for a static support role.

• Organised and detail-oriented in a fast-paced environment 

• Clear and confident in communication

• Ambitious and motivated to develop their career

• Hybrid working (Birmingham-based)

• Structured development and training

• Clear progression opportunities

• A collaborative and supportive team environment
