Job description

An exciting opportunity to jump on the Academics bandwagon as a recruitment consultant in our Sussex branch.

You'll be based in our impressive Crawley branch which is a hub for a range of local, national and international businesses and boasts some stunning break-out work spaces with on-site parking included.

At Academics, we pride ourselves on being a reputable, nationwide leader in education recruitment. Our Recruitment Consultants expertly advise our schools on the market conditions and source and vet candidates for a range of roles within schools, with the majority being Teachers and Teaching Assistants.

Why is it great to work at Academics?

1. In addition to a rewarding commission structure of up to 25% on everything you bill (no desk charge), we offer 'salary incentives', which are financial targets to increase your salary.
2. Starting on 27 days annual leave + bank holidays, you'll increase your annual leave allowance by 1 day every year of service spent with us.
3. Reduced working hours during school holidays - These are great for soaking up some sun in August!
4. With 18 branches nationwide and counting, there's a culture of success and a brilliant support network across the business.
5. A thorough induction process where you'll receive support and mentoring from the Branch Manager, Regional Manager, Operations Director, and Managing Director.
6. Genuine career progression opportunities - many of my colleagues at Academics started as Recruitment Consultants and within 4 years had the opportunity to open the Sussex branch and grow their own teams.
7. Recognition and Reward - We enjoy internal competition and sharing successes and will pit you against other consultants with similar experience to you in our 'league table' with financial and experience day incentives to be won.
8. Cross-branch collaboration is really important to us and we link up with our colleagues regularly, be it to spend a day in their office or simply spend an afternoon with them in the pub, at 'run club', or the local cricket 6's for a laugh.
9. Employee Assistance Programme - Mental health support with up to 8 free counselling sessions available.

The typical daily activities of a Recruitment Consultant:

1. Posting up-to-date, relevant, effective and engaging job adverts.
2. Reviewing applicants to adverts and vetting progressed candidates.
3. Using social media to develop your network and headhunt candidates.
4. Undertaking the admin to complete the registration of successful candidates.
5. Developing creative and detailed profiles for each successful candidate.
6. Contacting prospective and existing client schools via phone calls, emails, and face-to-face.
7. Presenting candidates to schools and arranging interviews/trial days.
8. Managing day-to-day portfolio of temporary workers.

If you're driven by the prospect of financial freedom whilst making a real impact on the lives of others daily, and if you've got great people skills, can hold a conversation, are thick-skinned and not afraid to make mistakes or say the wrong thing but prepared to learn from it, you'll fit right into the team here at Academics as our newest Recruitment Consultant.
