Are you ambitious, commercially driven and motivated by earning potential?

Premier Education is looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our friendly team and work on our Primary desk. It's a billing role on an established warm desk, with existing clients, candidates and business to build on.

Experience in temporary recruitment, ideally within education or a similar market, is preferred. We're looking for someone who understands the pace of a temporary desk, enjoys the commercial side of recruitment and is motivated by making placements and billing.

We're also open to people with an education background who are commercially minded, or candidates with strong sales/business development experience.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is friendly, driven, commercially focused and wants to succeed.

• Building and managing a strong candidate talent pool
• Sourcing, interviewing and registering candidates
• Advertising vacancies and marketing candidates

• Growing your desk and maximising your earning potential

What we’re looking for

• Commercially driven and motivated by earning potential
• Confident, ambitious and target-focused
• Comfortable picking up the phone and developing new business
• Resilient and able to handle rejection
• Organised and able to manage a busy desk
• Proactive, competitive and self-motivated
• A strong communicator with a positive can-do attitude

This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to manage candidates. We want someone who wants to build a desk, win business, make placements and bill.

What we offer

• £28,000-£35,000 basic salary, depending on experience
• Uncapped commission with no threshold
• Performance-related pay awards
• Established warm desk with existing business
• 1-to-1 training and ongoing professional development
