We are an award‑winning recruitment company with over 45 years success and proud holders of Investors in People Gold (achieved by only 7% of UK companies).

About the Role

As an experienced Recruitment Consultant, you'll build strong client relationships and deliver outstanding service across permanent and temporary commercial roles. The role blends B2B sales with relationship‑led, consultative selling – promoting both candidates to clients and roles to candidates.

• Manage and grow a busy temporary and permanent multi‑sector client base across the North West
• Achieve weekly and monthly sales and recruitment KPIs

Who We're Looking For

• Ambitious consultants with experience in a similar role
• Confident, resilient, and results‑driven
• Excellent communicators with empathy and strong listening skills
• Trusted advisors focused on long‑term solutions
• Comfortable in a telephone‑based sales environment
• Team players who put colleagues and customers first
• Organised, adaptable, and able to juggle multiple deadlines
• Keen to develop industry, analytical, and tech skills
• Full UK driving licence and own transport (client visits required)

What You'll Get

• Basic salary up to £32,000 (DOE) with an OTE of up to £70,000
• 24 days holiday + bank holidays, rising to 29 with service
• Your Birthday off
• Monthly commission
• Quarterly and annual bonuses
• Profit share
• Generous pension with life assurance
• Healthcare scheme
• Attendance bonus
• Excellent career prospects
• Incentives, competitions, and team‑building events
