Recruitment Consultant / Trainee Consultant

Exeter – Winslade Park

Are you an ambitious, people-focused professional looking to build a rewarding career in recruitment? Due to continued growth, RGB Recruitment, one of the region’s leading specialist recruitment consultancies, is expanding our team in our vibrant Exeter Head Office at Winslade Park.

This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a hot 360* desk, working with clients across the Southwest, Wales, the Midlands and beyond - taking hold of an established client base and plenty of room for growth.

It’s not uncommon for a recruitment business to claim to be a leader in their field, so here’s a few things that we think sets us apart:

• Professionally qualified recruiters
• Seasoned, hands-on management team with over 80 years’ experience combined
• Low staff attrition rate, average tenure over 6 years – with some staff having spent over 20 years with the business
• Benefits provided by our parent company including IT, legal, HR, amazing incentives, training and cutting edge recruitment tools

About Us

At RGB Recruitment, we work with a diverse mix of clients - from innovative SMEs to global blue-chip organisations, many of whom we partner with exclusively. Our consultants are well-known and respected within their specialist markets, supported by an experienced and long-standing management team.

As part of our ongoing success, we’re looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and driven individual who has a passion for people, marketing, and sales.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant or Trainee Consultant, your day will be varied and fast-paced. You’ll be responsible for managing your own permanent/hybrid desk and building long-term relationships with both clients and candidates.

Your key duties will include:

• Running and developing a 360* permanent recruitment desk
• Managing existing client relationships and growing your own portfolio
• Registering and sourcing candidates for live vacancies
• Maximising job boards, LinkedIn, and other online resources
• Creating engaging advertising and marketing campaigns
• Generating new business leads and opportunities
• Attending client meetings and on-site visits
• Handling administration such as interview confirmations, Terms of Business, and database updates
• Working in line with RGB’s proven recruitment process

We are able to offer a 25+ year old, up-to-date database from Cornwall up to the Midlands (and beyond!), a trusted client base for every niche sector of construction, backed up by Pertemps Network Group who are the UK’s largest independent Recruitment franchise.

About You

We’re looking for a confident, outgoing, and ambitious team player who’s eager to learn and succeed.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience in sales, recruitment, or customer service (preferred but not essential)
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• A professional phone manner and attention to detail
• Strong organisation, time management, and problem-solving skills
• IT literacy and a good understanding of social media platforms

The Benefits

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off!
• Competitive, achievable commission structure
• Quarterly performance bonuses
• Pension and share scheme
• Regular team incentives and social events
• Flexible working
• Highly regarded training courses and trainers
• Free parking

Plus, you’ll benefit from a structured career development plan, giving you clear progression opportunities as you grow within the business.
