Are you great with people, love a fast-paced environment, and looking for your next career move?

If you’ve worked in estate agency, account management, customer service, telesales, talent acquisition or recruitment delivery, this could be the perfect next step. You don’t need recruitment experience, just confidence, communication, and the drive to succeed in a target-driven, people-focused role.

We’re proud to work on long-standing key accounts, delivering exceptional service across high-demand industries. Our culture is team-oriented, high-performing, and supportive, with a strong focus on development and progression.

The Role

We’re hiring a Consultant to join our busy, fast-paced delivery team based in Reading. This role is ideal for someone with excellent customer relationship skills, who enjoys working on live job roles and delivering a first-class candidate experience. You’ll support our existing clients by filling their roles efficiently and professionally, no cold business development, no new client sales, just delivery and account management.

If you enjoy building relationships, this could be a fantastic way to move into recruitment from a transferable background.

Key Responsibilities

• Working with hiring managers to take job briefs and understand requirements
• Writing engaging job adverts and posting across job boards and LinkedIn
• Screening CVs and shortlisting relevant candidates
• Interviewing and supporting candidates throughout the recruitment process
• Managing ongoing client communications and providing regular updates
• Coordinating multiple roles and candidate pipelines across your accounts
• Learning from experienced recruiters and developing your own career

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have:

• Experience in estate agency, customer service, telesales, client services, account management, or similar
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Confidence working to deadlines and juggling multiple tasks
• A proactive, organised approach and great attention to detail
• A team player mindset and a real interest in career progression
• Any prior experience working with clients or in a recruitment setting (nice to have, not essential)

Why Join Us?

• Competitive base salary uncapped commission (with no cold BD targets!)
• Hybrid working model and early finish Fridays (3pm)
• Private healthcare, gym membership, and enhanced benefits package
• 5* incentive trips, quarterly bonuses, and team celebrations
• Clear progression path into senior roles
• World-class recruitment tools including a new CRM, LinkedIn integration, and tech that saves you time
