Newcastle

£26,000 - £28,000 Per Annum + Uncapped Commission

Are you ambitious, driven, and ready to start a rewarding career in recruitment? Do you want control over your earning potential while working in a busy, dynamic environment?

Search Recruitment Group, one of the UK's most established recruitment agencies, is expanding its Newcastle office and is looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our successful Construction team.

Construction has been at the core of our business for nearly 40 years. With long-standing client relationships and established contracts, you'll have a strong foundation to launch your recruitment career and make an immediate impact.

From day one, you will receive award-winning training, one-on-one coaching, and ongoing professional development to set you up for success. Additionally, there is no commission threshold for your first six months, so you'll start earning from your very first placement.

If you are a confident communicator with a competitive edge and a desire to progress quickly, this is your opportunity to build a long-term career in recruitment with one of the best firms in the industry.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Make outbound B2B calls, contact new clients on LinkedIn, and visit them on-site to build strong relationships.
• Negotiate fees and rates to get the best outcomes for both your clients and you.
• Source and interview candidates, registering them on our internal CRM system, and supporting them through every step of the process.
• Manage shift bookings and allocations, making sure everything runs smoothly.
• Be the main point of contact for your clients and candidates, handling any queries and providing ongoing support.
• Deliver a high-quality service that people remember and want to come back to.

What We're Looking For:

• Sales experience is great, but not essential - we can teach you the rest if you've got the right attitude.
• Confident in building relationships and having meaningful conversations with people at all levels.
• Strong communication skills, whether it's over the telephone, face to face, or over email.
• Self-motivated and proactive, with a genuine desire to succeed in a busy, target-driven environment.

What You'll Get in Return:

• A competitive base salary with a monthly commission structure.
• Structured training and support from our award-winning Talent Development team, plus a clear career path from day one.
• Flex Holiday scheme - buy or sell up to 5 days of annual leave to suit your way of life.
• Option to join our car benefit scheme through Tusker.
• Access to Perkbox for well-being perks.
• Golden Ticket Scheme, where you can earn up to £500 in vouchers for achieving your KPIs.
• Regular team socials, early finishes, and big events like our annual awards, summer and Christmas parties.
• Full back-office support (marketing, compliance, payroll) - so you can focus on growing your desk and making placements.
