Job description

Trainee Recruitment Consultant - High Performers Programme

Q - Are you an ambitious & hard-working individual looking to kickstart a career in recruitment?

We are looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our growing, high-performing team. We have a large, modern, well-resourced office in the middle of Maidstone (with parking) and a team of established high performers that will train and support you to become a big biller yourself.

We are specifically looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant that we can coach to become a high performer. You will receive expert guidance from our highest performers, all of which have a track-record of earning 6 figures a year, due to consistent hard-work. Recruitment is easy if you are a grafter that can put in the work and hold yourself accountable.

What we're looking for:

• We want someone with the raw ingredients to become a high performer.
• If you're competitive, genuinely driven and financially motivated, we will teach you the rest.
• You don't need to have any knowledge of the education sector, nor any recruitment experience.
• Previous sales experience could help, but it's far from essential.
• You don't need to be an extrovert or the loudest in the room. Multiple personality types can be excellent in recruitment. The best consultants will listen more than they speak.

What we definitely don't want:

• Someone who is happy with mediocrity and achieving average results.

About us:

EdEx is an Education Recruitment agency, focused on recruiting long-term and permanent members of staff into schools (Teachers & Teaching Assistants). We have been in business for 5 years, but both Directors have over a decade of experience as well as a track‑record for generating millions of pounds in gross profit.

We have high‑expectations but will give you all the tools to achieve. Your day will consist of the following:

• Writing job adverts and posting them to our various job boards
• Phoning prospective candidates (typically 20+ calls a day)
• Registering candidates and providing guidance to them on their job search
• Writing email marketing campaigns to win new business
• Conducting Business Development to pick-up new jobs
• Visiting your client schools to nurture long‑term relationships
• Maintaining regular contact with your candidates and clients
