Responsibilities

Placement Delivery

Our candidates expect to find their next position, that is aligned with their career goals, on OfferZen. You own guiding and influencing the maximum number of candidates in your portfolio to successfully find new jobs on the OfferZen platform.
You will proactively work with the candidates in your portfolio (roughly 80-100 candidates actively engaging with companies on OfferZen at any given time) to understand their needs and add value as they navigate their job search journey.
This includes guiding candidates with expert marketplace knowledge and interview advice, as well as empowering them to reflect on and assess all of the potential opportunities that arise during their job search.
You will need to create urgency with candidates accepted onto the platform to notify you if & when they want to go live on the platform. This ensures we make the most out of the supply we have.

Our key metric for success is the Match-To-Placed conversion rate. As of November 2023, the match to placed rate goal is 19% for SA-based candidates. We review this target on a quarterly basis.

Collaboration

You will work closely with both candidates and OfferZen account managers to facilitate successful, long-lasting placements on OfferZen. This collaboration typically includes:
- Making sure candidates have a good understanding of how companies and recruiters think and operate.
- Helping candidates and companies ask good probing questions and communicate effectively to determine whether they’re a good fit.
- Preempt and actively seek to prevent blockers from progressing for both candidates and companies.
- Supporting candidates and companies in negotiating possible offer terms before any contracts are signed.
You will work closely with your team and team leads to develop team ‘best practice’, which should enable ops teams to deliver this high-quality service consistently to all of OfferZen’s customers.
