About Us

REL Group is proud to be part of the Advantage Smollan family, a connected network leading the way in sales, marketing, and retail solutions across Europe. At REL, we believe great people build great businesses — and that starts from the inside out.

We’re looking for a confident, ambitious, and driven Internal Recruiter to help shape and grow our retail and sales teams.

This is not just a transactional role. You will work closely with leaders, learn to challenge and advise, and grow into a trusted recruitment partner. We’ll support your development so that, within your first year, you become a confident, strategic voice helping us build high-performing, people-focused teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with leaders to understand retail and sales goals, and learn to advise on workforce planning and recruitment strategy.
• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process, from sourcing to onboarding, delivering a smooth and professional experience for candidates and hiring managers.
• Use our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and LinkedIn Recruiter to build talent pipelines and track progress effectively.
• Contribute ideas to improve and future-proof our recruitment systems and processes.
• Proactively source and engage retail and sales talent who thrive in fast-paced, customer-focused environments.
• Support and guide hiring managers, ensuring consistent, fair, and effective selection.
• Build and maintain pipelines for future talent needs in retail, field sales, and business support functions.
• Learn to use recruitment data and insights to inform decisions and drive improvements.
• Promote our employer brand as an authentic ambassador for REL Group and the Advantage Smollan family.
• Strengthen your ability to plan ahead and anticipate future hiring needs.

Key Skills and Attributes

• High emotional intelligence, with the ability to build strong relationships and trust quickly.
• Growth mindset, open to learning and feedback, with a desire to step into greater responsibility over time.
• Developing confidence to challenge and advise hiring managers with insight and clarity.
• Interest in how talent strategy drives success in retail and sales environments.
• Comfortable using recruitment tools and technology, and committed to creating personal connections.
• Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple roles and priorities effectively.
• Process-focused but flexible, balancing consistency with adaptability.
• Analytical approach, eager to learn how data can support better outcomes.
• Proactive and resilient, motivated by a fast-moving, changing retail landscape.

Your Growth Journey

In your first year, you will:

• Develop stronger skills in talent planning and workforce strategy.
• Build confidence as a trusted advisor to retail and sales leaders.
• Help shape recruitment systems that are scalable and future-ready.
• Gain a deep understanding of the retail and sales landscape within the Advantage Smollan family.

Working Flexibility

This role offers a largely remote working setup, with just 2–3 days per month in the office for team connection and key meetings. You’ll also enjoy significant flexibility to work around core business hours, making it easier to balance your professional and personal commitments.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Support and investment in your personal development and career progression.
• The chance to make a meaningful impact by building strong, high-performing teams.
• A collaborative, supportive culture where your ideas and growth are valued.
• Opportunities to take initiative and advance as we grow together.
• A wider network through the Advantage Smollan family, offering shared expertise and resources.
• Flexibility to shape your working week in a way that works for you and the business.
