Have you considered a career in driving recruitment? Do you possess drive, ambition, discipline, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment? If you're passionate about people and delivering exceptional service, this is your opportunity to join the UK's largest recruitment business and build a rewarding career with Staffline.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Recruitment Account Coordinator to support our growing Driving Division, supplying professional drivers to a range of leading transport and logistics client in Barnsley.

This is a fast-moving role where no two days are the same. You'll be responsible for ensuring our clients have access to reliable, compliant, and skilled drivers while delivering a first-class experience to both candidates and customers.

Previous recruitment experience is beneficial but not essential. If you have transferable skills from customer service, transport, logistics, operations, or administration, we'll provide the training and support needed to help you succeed.

What You'll Do as an Account Coordinator

This role is all about building relationships, solving problems, and ensuring our driving workforce is fully supported. Your responsibilities will include:

Planning and coordinating driver shift coverage to ensure client staffing requirements are met, including managing short-notice changes and absences
Meeting client requirements by sourcing and placing qualified HGV, LGV, and professional drivers
Recruiting, screening, interviewing, and onboarding driving candidates
Verifying licences, CPC qualifications, digital tachograph cards, and conducting compliance checks
Managing driver availability, shift bookings, and rota planning
Accurately processing payroll data and validating driver hours
Handling driver queries, absences, holiday requests, and shift changes
Ensuring compliance with transport legislation, client requirements, and recruitment best practice
Building and maintaining strong relationships with both clients and drivers
Proactively addressing staffing challenges and sourcing solutions to meet operational demands
Supporting out-of-hours requirements when necessary to ensure service continuity

The Skills You'll Develop as a Recruitment Account Coordinator

At Staffline, you'll receive ongoing coaching, development, and support to help you reach your full potential. In this role, you'll develop expertise in:

Driving and transport recruitment
Client relationship management
Workforce planning and resource allocation
Driver compliance and industry regulations
Candidate attraction and retention strategies
Performance management and service delivery
Problem-solving and operational decision-making

We actively encourage career progression and offer clear development pathways for those looking to advance their careers within recruitment and account management.

What We Need From You

We're committed to helping you succeed, but to thrive in this role you'll need:

The ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and solve problems effectively
A customer-focused approach with a genuine passion for people
Experience within recruitment, transport, logistics, driving operations, or a customer service environment (preferred but not essential)
Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
A keen eye for detail, particularly when handling compliance documentation
A proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership of challenges
Confidence working in a fast-paced environment where responsiveness is key
Most importantly: tenacity, resilience, flexibility, and a positive attitude towards delivering exceptional service

Diversity and Inclusion: A Core Focus

At Staffline, we are deeply committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. We believe that a diverse team brings different perspectives, ideas, and experiences, enhancing our overall effectiveness and success. We value and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, and we actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
