Prime Appointments are expanding our high-performing Industrial & Warehousing Temporary Division and are looking for a driven, commercially minded Apprentice Recruitment Consultant to join our team in Witham, Essex.

The role will start on the apprentice rate of 7.55ph for the first 12-18 months with a view of increasing after your probation. Once you complete your training, your salary will increase, and you'll also have the opportunity to earn commission. To give you an idea, an average Recruitment Consultant can earn around 40,000 per annum - so there's definitely long-term gain for short -term investment.

If you are motivated, confident, and eager to build a career where your progression and earnings are driven by your attitude and performance, this role offers a strong platform to grow. This is a 40-hour Monday-Friday role with flexible hours (8am-6pm) available after your training period.

You will receive PRIME recruitment training and have the opportunity to complete recruitment qualifications and apprenticeship programmes.

You will support and grow a busy temp desk, developing strong sales and service activity, including:

• Proactively sourcing candidates for warehouse, forklift, production, and factory roles with positivity and enthusiasm
• Building and maintaining a pool of high-quality temporary workers, taking accountability for worker performance and reliability
• Generating new business leads through candidate conversations, market research, and daily call activity
• Managing client bookings - from ongoing temp-to-perm roles to same-day requirements - with consistency and accuracy
• Screening and interviewing candidates face-to-face while demonstrating honesty and professional integrity
• Writing compelling job adverts to attract workers
• Conducting right-to-work and compliance checks
• Maintaining regular contact with clients to ensure satisfaction, resolve issues quickly, and identify new opportunities through strong teamwork with colleagues

This role is fast-paced and commercially focused, with clear revenue targets and monthly commission once training is completed.

• A confident communicator with a strong commercial mindset
• Comfortable making sales calls and building relationships quickly
• Ambitious, competitive, and motivated to progress
• A true team player who supports colleagues and contributes to a positive environment
• Able to work with consistency under pressure and prioritise tasks in a busy environment
• Someone who acts with honesty, takes accountability, and approaches challenges with positivity
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Computer literate
• Own transport required for client visits and training days
• Ideally A-Level educated or above, but attitude and drive matter most

Benefits

• Accredited recruitment training
• Recruitment apprenticeship qualification (optional)
• Structured induction and ongoing development
• Monthly commission with no earnings cap (post-training)
• Progression opportunities within the Industrial division
• Subsidised gym membership
• Holiday increasing to 25 days + Bank Holidays
