Are you an experienced Recruitment Consultant who loves winning business and building relationships?

We're looking for a passionate, driven and ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team.

This is a role for someone who knows the recruitment industry, understands that great relationships are at the heart of success, and isn't afraid to get out there and make things happen.

We're looking for someone with a genuine can-do attitude. Someone who will pick up the phone, make the cold call, walk through the door of a local business and introduce themselves, build a relationship from scratch and ultimately win new business.

What will you be doing?

You'll play an important role in growing our client base and developing long-term relationships with businesses.

Your role will include:

• Building strong, long-lasting relationships with new and existing clients.
• Identifying and winning new business opportunities.
• Making outbound calls and confidently introducing our recruitment services.
• Developing new business through networking, referrals, research and face-to-face meetings.
• Being proactive and getting out into the local business community to generate opportunities.
• Visiting prospective clients and, when appropriate, taking a proactive approach to winning their business.
• Understanding clients' recruitment needs and providing the right solutions.
• Managing your own pipeline and working towards agreed targets.
• Working closely with the wider recruitment team to deliver an excellent service to clients and candidates.
• Sharing ideas and helping us develop new ways of growing the business.
• Acting as a strong advocate for our company, our clients and the candidates we represent.

What are we looking for?

Ideally, you'll already have experience within the recruitment industry and understand what it takes to succeed in a competitive market.

More importantly, we're looking for the right attitude and personality.

You’ll be someone who:

• Is confident, enthusiastic and passionate about recruitment.
• Has a proven ability to build and develop business relationships.
• Enjoys winning new business and isn't afraid of a challenge.
• Isn't afraid to pick up the phone and cold call.
• Is comfortable meeting prospective clients face-to-face and opening doors.
• Has a strong commercial mindset and understands the importance of business development.
• Is a fantastic communicator and a natural relationship builder.
• Is a team player who is happy to support colleagues and share success.
• Is a strong advocate for the business and takes pride in representing the company.
• Brings fresh ideas, energy and enthusiasm to the table.
• Has a "can-do" attitude and is willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
• Is resilient, motivated and doesn't give up when the first answer is "no".
• Wants to be part of a team where their ideas and contribution genuinely matter.

What we can offer you

We're building a team where people are encouraged to think differently, be proactive and make a real impact.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Grow your career within a supportive and ambitious recruitment business.
• Have genuine input into how we develop and grow.
• Work with a team that values collaboration and shared success.
• Develop new and existing client relationships.
• Be rewarded for your hard work and business development success.
• Bring your own ideas to the table and see them put into action.
• Work in an environment where enthusiasm, initiative and personality are valued.

Most importantly...

We're not looking for someone who simply wants to sit behind a desk and wait for the phone to ring. We're looking for someone who wants to make things happen.

If you're passionate about recruitment, enjoy meeting people, love winning business and have the confidence to pick up the phone, knock on a door and create an opportunity where none existed before, we'd love to hear from you.

If you have the experience, the energy and the attitude to make a difference, get in touch!
