Recruitment consultant, business developer, opportunity connector, account manager, you'll be the one stop shop for recruitment needs.

The Opportunity

Kirimana is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our Auckland team.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an established portfolio while continuing to grow your own client and candidate network. Our core business is construction, trades and engineering, working with companies and projects across New Zealand.

We are looking for someone who understands recruitment as a commercial business. You will need to build strong relationships, identify opportunities, understand your market and consistently deliver for both clients and candidates.

What We're Looking For

You'll manage the full recruitment process while developing and growing your portfolio. You should be comfortable speaking with clients, getting out into the market and creating opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to you.

• Manage and grow an established portfolio of clients, candidates and contractors
• Develop new business through calls, meetings, networking and strong industry relationships
• Recruit across temporary, contract and permanent positions
• Build genuine knowledge of your clients, industries, projects and candidate market
• Take ownership of your performance, revenue, activity and the quality of service you provide

Previous recruitment experience is preferred, particularly within construction, trades, engineering or another temporary labour environment. However, we are also interested in proven sales professionals with strong relationship building skills and the commercial drive to succeed in recruitment.

What's In It For You?

• Competitive base salary with an uncapped commission structure
• An established client base and existing relationships to build from
• Dedicated candidate and administration support so you can focus on recruitment and growth
• Training, professional development and opportunities to progress within the business
• A supportive team environment with flexibility and a genuine focus on work life balance

Our consultants have the opportunity to build meaningful client relationships, develop specialist markets and create careers with genuine earning and progression potential. We provide the support, systems and wider team around you, but we also expect our people to take ownership of their results.
