Senior Recruitment Consultant

ITS (Holdings) Ltd; Guildford; On-site; GBP 30,000 - 60,000; Full time

Job description

About the ITS:
With over 50 years' experience within the construction industry and now 22 offices in major cities across the UK, ITS is a well-established and successful recruitment agency that specialises in the Construction sector. Each office prides itself on their local knowledge of both candidates and clients and bespoke tailored service. With directors present in each office, they are all independently run with hands-on management training and all uphold a reputable group ethos.

An opportunity has arisen to introduce a new Senior Consultant to our Guildford office. This location has been established since 1989 and has developed a solid reputation and client base in the area. This new role would suit an experienced trades consultant or someone with existing experience in white collar freelance.

The job role and the desk: The current trades and labour team is made up of 3 experienced consultants and a Resourcer, supported by a company Director. They require an experienced and proven Senior Consultant to help develop our local presence providing white collar freelance contractors. This will be a hands-on role developing a white collar desk and working alongside the sales manager and trades team.

This is an exciting challenge for the right person who would have complete exclusivity on this desk, supported by a successful trades team to provide unlimited leads, with numerous existing PSLs in the area to work with. As the office is already well established, it is a sector and business that needs to be developed rather than built up from scratch. It is already running comfortably in profit and has enormous potential to increase. ITS are already established locally and across the group as a key PSL supplier for numerous developers and contractors, with many of them extremely busy in the Sussex area.

We are looking for someone who can:

1. Develop and maintain our existing relationships and attract new business.
2. Work with the local team to develop sales in the white collar sector.
3. Deliver excellent customer service.
4. Be confident with scheduling and the time management of yourself and others.
5. Ideally have an established business network of your own or good understanding of the construction sector (this is not essential, and we will consider candidates from other sectors with a proven track record).

Essential Qualifications/Experience required: The position is ideally suited to someone with trades and labour, white collar, or construction-related recruitment experience. It is suited to a Senior Consultant or team leader who is looking for progression and/or a new challenge. However, we are open-minded to candidates from other disciplines to be cross-trained as long as they have the right attitude and aptitude and can adapt to the high demands of a busy freelance environment.

Training/Progression opportunities: Training is always offered from one-off specific courses to ongoing distant learning with the REC. ITS always invests time and training to each member of staff and is in the process of developing a new internal industry-recognised training and development program in line with other external partners, so each individual can reach their full potential.

For this position, full support will be provided to develop a growth strategy with a budget to deliver it, along with incentives to ensure that the right individual can get the most out of their team and themselves as a billing manager. Some of the benefits include:

• Generous salary
• Car allowance
• Personal and team commission
• Quarterly & annual performance bonus
• Reward trips
• Opportunities to become a Director and Shareholder

This investment helps uphold our high staff retention. Promotion is a high priority for ITS and we pride ourselves on promoting from within, with many success stories around the group. In time, promotions do lead to directorships and shares of offices, and a number of our current directors started as trainees and consultants.

How to apply: Please send an updated CV to John Bennett or call (phone number removed). All applications and calls will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

*Whilst every effort is made, we may not always get the opportunity to respond due to the volume of applications.
