Job description

Apprentice Recruitment Consultant - Factory & Warehousing (Temporary Division) - Witham, Essex

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.

Why Join Prime Appointments?

We are a family‑run business, established in 1992. Our Industrial team is one of the busiest desks in the company, and we’re looking for someone who wants to develop into a full 360 Recruitment Consultant while living our core values – P.A.T.C.H: Positivity, Accountability, Teamwork, Consistency, and Honesty.

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

Key Responsibilities

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.

What We’re Looking For

• 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
• Birthday off after one year
• Quarterly team events
• Healthcare & benefits package (gym, shopping, travel & dining discounts)
• Flexible working between 8am‑6pm
• High‑energy, supportive working environment rooted in P.A.T.C.H values

Who Thrives in This Role

People who are confident, proactive, energetic, and commercially driven excel in our Industrial team. You must enjoy speaking to people all day, handling multiple tasks at once, and working towards clear targets while demonstrating Positivity, Accountability, Teamwork, Consistency, and Honesty.
