Recruitment Trainee (Sourcer) [Openings: 3]

HR & Recruitment

K sh 45,000 – 58,000 gross / month

Openings: 3 Location: Nairobi – Langata Overview: Recruitment is part detective work, part people whispering, and entirely about timing. In this trainee role, you’ll dive into candidate sourcing, phone screens, and interview scheduling, learning how to turn a stack of CVs into a shortlist that actually delivers results. Our client is looking for curious, detail-oriented trainees who are ready to master Boolean searches, maintain ATS hygiene, and provide a positive candidate experience at every touchpoint. Accuracy and care in updating systems can make the difference between a smooth hire and chaos down the line. Daily tasks will have you calling candidates, verifying details, and booking interviews with the precision of someone who knows every calendar conflict matters. You’ll also draft job posts and send status updates, ensuring both hiring managers and candidates stay informed. The learning curve is real, but that’s where the fun begins: you’ll see how each well-handled call or neatly managed ATS stage directly impacts time-to-hire, show-up rates, and overall candidate satisfaction. It’s like running a small, highly strategic operations unit, one hire at a time. By the end of your training, you won’t just understand the mechanics of recruitment, you’ll know how to juggle multiple priorities, keep candidates engaged, and lay the groundwork for a career that moves from sourcer to senior recruiter without missing a beat.
