Subcontractor Recruiter
Full-time · Remote - UK hours
You build the trade network the whole company runs on.
Who you would be working with
Simpled Services is a property maintenance and refurbishment company. We work for housing associations, letting agents, landlords and private clients, mostly in London and the South East, and on jobs across the rest of the UK.
More than 8,500 jobs have gone through us. Mould and damp, leaks, plumbing, painting, kitchens and bathrooms, full refurbishments, end of tenancy work. Some of it is a two hour repair. Some of it runs for months.
The work is run inside Plan@Job, our own platform. Your jobs, the address, the scope, your photos, your reports and your invoice all sit in one place, so nobody is chasing anybody through WhatsApp for a picture of a finished wall.
The role
Every job we win needs somebody good to do it. This seat finds those people, checks them properly and keeps them working with us.
It is phone-heavy. You will speak to more tradespeople in a week than most people meet in a year, and you will know which ones are worth a call back.
What the work is
- Find, call and sign up tradespeople across the trades and areas we need.
- Check the things that matter before anybody goes on site: insurance, qualifications, right to work.
- Keep the network warm, so a Friday afternoon emergency has somebody to go to.
- Keep every record in one place instead of a notebook.
What we need from you
- You have recruited, sourced or sold on the phone, and you are not afraid of the volume.
- You can tell a good tradesperson from a good talker.
- Organised enough to keep records nobody has to rebuild.
- Fluent English, written and spoken.
The pay
Salary is discussed on the first call.
Please do not apply if
- Cold calling drains you. Most of this job is the phone.
- You would sign somebody up without checking their paperwork.
