About the Role
As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll learn how to build strong client relationships and deliver high-level service to both clients and candidates. Recruitment involves various types of sales, primarily focusing on relationship selling, consultative selling, and business-to-business (B2B) sales. You'll be selling both the candidate to a client company and the job to the candidate.
While some aspects of the role are telephone-based, much of your work involves building long-term relationships, providing expert advice, and delivering a service that goes far beyond simple telesales.
You'll be part of a busy, reactive, and varied environment, working towards targets, and thriving under pressure. Full training is provided, so no prior recruitment experience is needed - just great people skills and a flair for sales.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and develop strong, long-term client relationships.
• Carry out sales activities including phone-based sales, business development, and networking.
• Source new business opportunities and follow up on leads.
• Match candidates to exciting job opportunities, ensuring a strong fit for clients and candidates.
• Provide exceptional service and act as a trusted advisor.
• Work towards and achieve weekly and monthly targets.

Who Were Looking For

• Ambitious individuals looking to start a career in recruitment.
• Confident, resilient, and motivated by achieving results.
• Excellent communicator with empathy and strong active listening skills.
• Comfortable in a telephone-based sales environment.
• Strong team players who put colleagues and customers first.
• Organised, adaptable, and able to manage multiple deadlines.
• Able to act as a trusted advisor, focusing on long-term success rather than short-term transactions.
• Willing to develop strategic skills such as industry knowledge, data analysis, and technological proficiency.
• Full UK driving licence is an advantage but not essential.

What You'll Get

• Full training & development programme to kickstart your career
• 24 days holiday + Bank Holidays (rising to 29 with service) + Birthday off
• Monthly commission
• Quarterly and annual bonus scheme
• Profit share
• Generous pension including life assurance
• Healthcare scheme
• Attendance bonus
• Regular incentives, competitions, and team-building events
• A fully paid day each year to support a charity of your choice
