Job description

Are you an experienced Recruitment Consultant, looking for a company that offers fantastic career prospects, where all the senior management team have progressed from trainee roles? Would you like to work for an award winning company based close to Bury town centre? As well as brilliant training and career prospects, the role offers a starting salary of up to £32,000, an OTE of £50,000 and amazing benefits including a bonus scheme and profit share, holidays that increase to 29 days PLUS your birthday, free parking, company pension, healthcare, and an early Friday finish.

We are an award‑winning recruitment business, established for over 45 years, and proud holders of Investors in People Gold (only 7% of UK companies with Investors in People achieve this). We focus on organic growth and employee development, offering extensive training and opportunities to progress to senior roles. At Jobwise, you'll be part of a supportive, fun, and high‑performing sales team where no two days are the same.

If you're looking for more than just a job and want a fast‑paced, exciting career with real progression, this could be the perfect role for you.

About the Role

As an experienced Recruitment Consultant, you'll be building strong client relationships and delivering high‑level service to both clients and candidates, dealing with permanent and temporary roles in the commercial sector. The role involves business‑to‑business (B2B) sales, primarily focusing on relationship selling and consultative selling. 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Help to drive continued business growth by client retention and new client acquisition
• Market mapping and targeting ideal prospects
• Regularly meet with new and existing clients to build relationships and understand their business needs
• Strong accountability for owning and developing a candidate talent pool that suits the needs of your hiring clients
• Collaborating with our in‑house marketing team, utilising the latest technology to develop regular warm leads
• Manage and grow a busy temporary and permanent multi‑sector client base across the North West
• Achieve agreed weekly and monthly KPIs in sales and recruitment performance

Who Were Looking For

• Ambitious individuals with experience in a similar Recruitment Consultant role, looking for a new challenge
• Confident, resilient, and motivated by achieving results
• Excellent communicator with empathy and strong active listening skills
• Able to act as a trusted advisor, focusing on long‑term success rather than short‑term transactions
• Comfortable in a telephone‑based sales environment
• Strong team players who put colleagues and customers first
• Organised, adaptable, and able to manage multiple deadlines
• Willing to develop strategic skills such as industry knowledge, data analysis, and technological proficiency
• A full UK driving licence and your own transport is essential to visit customer sites

What You’ll Get

• A basic salary of up to £32,000, depending on experience
• An OTE of £50,000+
• 24 days holiday + Bank Holidays (rising to 29 with service)
• Your birthday off as an extra day
• Monthly commission
• Quarterly and annual bonus scheme
• Profit share
• Generous pension including life assurance
• Healthcare scheme
