Graduate Technology & Operations Associate

Location: Fareham

Company: Archer Group

Type: Full-Time Graduate Position

Archer Group is an ambitious, fast-growing recruitment business currently running two specialist recruitment divisions alongside the launch of two new office locations. This is a unique opportunity to join at an exciting stage and help shape how a modern recruitment company operates.

We're investing heavily in automation, AI, and workflow optimisation to create a business where consultants spend more time building relationships and less time on repetitive administration. As we scale, we're looking for a graduate who is excited by technology, problem-solving, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact from day one.

This is not a traditional graduate role.

You'll work directly with the leadership team to design, build, and improve the systems that power our business. Your mission will be to help consultants work smarter by leveraging AI, automation, and technology to simplify day-to-day tasks and unlock productivity.

You'll play a key role in implementing Large Language Models (LLMs), AI tools, and workflow automation across the business, helping us create a truly modern recruitment operation.

• Identify opportunities to automate and improve internal processes.
• Build and maintain workflows using automation platforms such as Power Automate, Zapier, and n8n.
• Support the implementation and adoption of AI and LLM-powered tools across the business.
• Develop natural language workflows that allow consultants to interact with systems more intuitively.
• Work closely with recruiters to understand challenges and create technology-driven solutions.
• Manage and optimise CRM systems and data processes.
• Create dashboards, reports, and operational insights to support business growth.
• Research emerging AI technologies and recommend practical applications for the business.
• Help establish scalable operational processes as Archer Group expands.

• Recent university graduate (or graduating this year).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Naturally curious about technology, AI, and automation.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with non-technical stakeholders.
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• Proactive mindset and willingness to take ownership of projects.

• Experience with recruitment CRM platforms such as Bullhorn, Vincere, Tracker, or similar, and/or general CRMs and databases like HubSpot or Airtable.
• Exposure to workflow automation tools including Power Automate, Zapier, Make, or n8n.
• Experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot.
• Basic understanding of APIs, integrations, or low-code/no-code platforms.
• Experience working with data, reporting, or business systems.

Within your first 12 months, you will:

• Help implement AI-powered workflows across Archer Group.
• Reduce manual administration for consultants through automation.
• Improve CRM data quality and system adoption.
• Build tools that enable consultants to interact with business systems using natural language.
• Become a key contributor to how Archer Group scales its operations.

• Join during an exciting period of growth, with two new offices being established.
• Work directly with founders and senior leadership.
• Gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI and automation technologies.
• Have real ownership and influence from day one.
• Accelerated career progression in a rapidly growing business.
• Become a key figure in Archer Group's technology and operational strategy.

If you're excited by AI, automation, problem-solving, and the opportunity to build the future of recruitment, we'd love to hear from you.
