Junior Recruiter

Job Title: Junior Recruitment Officer

Internal Opportunity – Open to Current Quantanite Employees Only

About Us

Quantanite is a leading Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) provider, delivering innovative, high-quality customer experience solutions in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. We value excellence, collaboration, accountability, and continuous growth — for both our clients and our people.

Position Overview

We are pleased to open an internal opportunity for a capable, mature, and proactive individual to join our recruitment team as a Junior Recruitment Officer.

Although titled "Junior," this role requires a strong foundation of professionalism, ownership, and leadership readiness. It is well suited for high-performing internal talent (including Team Leaders or individuals who have managed projects/people/processes) who are ready to step into a more strategic function.

The Junior Recruitment Officer will support end-to-end recruitment operations — from sourcing and screening to coordinating interviews and candidate experience management — while working closely with the Senior Recruiter and Recruitment Manager.

4. Collaboration & Project Support

• Work closely with the Senior Recruiter to understand recruitment needs.

• Participate in strategy discussions, calibration sessions, and training.

5. Data & Reporting

• Maintain accurate records in the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
