Recruitment Consultant

Are you a highly motivated individual with at least 5-6 years of experience in sales or recruitment?

Ready for a new challenge where your expertise can truly make an impact?

We're working with a highly specialized recruitment consultancy that has been a leader in a niche sector for years. They are expanding and looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join their busy team, bringing a wealth of knowledge and a track record of success.

This is a perfect fit for a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is driven by results. You'll be a key player in the business, managing and expanding on existing client relationships while placing top talent in high-value roles.

What you’ll be doing

As a Recruitment Consultant, your role will be focused on candidate sourcing, with the remaining time dedicated to client account management. All jobs will be passed to you directly from the business development team. This means you won't be expected to generate new business, but rather, to build and maintain strong relationships with existing clients and source the best candidates for their roles.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Sourcing and engaging with top-tier candidates, often involving travel across the UK for meetings.
Managing the interview and offer process, including negotiating contracts and start dates.
Building and maintaining strong client relationships, ensuring repeat business and positive referrals.
Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, understanding their complex needs and providing strategic solutions.

We need someone who is comfortable working under pressure and exceeding targets and KPIs. If you're not afraid of hard work and have a proven ability to deliver, you'll thrive here.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be a strategic problem-solver and a collaborative team player with a minimum of 5-6 years of experience in a sales or recruitment role.

In addition, you should have:

Exceptional communication skills and a professional phone manner.
A proven track record of meeting and exceeding sales targets.
A strong work ethic and the drive to put in the hard work to get the job done.
A valid driver's license and your own car for travel to client and candidate meetings.

Their current team has been with the company for 5 to 15 years, creating a rich environment of knowledge and experience. You'll receive a tailored onboarding plan during your first 6-8 weeks, ensuring you have everything you need to hit the ground running and take ownership of your responsibilities.

***Despite our best efforts it is not always possible to respond to every application individually due to the high volume of responses we receive on each vacancy. Only candidates who are short listed will be contacted for this particular role and if you have not heard from us within 7 days please assume that you have not been successful. However, we will keep your details on our database, and will contact you when other suitable positions become available.***
