• The role is a sales-based role where you are required to sell daily-sell against internal recruitment teams, sell against budget restraints, sell against central government processes etc.
• Once you have an organisation that agrees to partner with you, your role then includes sourcing the best and most experienced candidates for these interim roles, in a fast-paced timeframe.

• This desk is a very warm desk and has consistently been billed up to £500k.
• You will be working as part of a collaborative sector group, where you will learn the intricacies of the civil service recruitment process.
