We are a national recruitment business with an established presence across the UK, and we are now looking to expand our branch in Essex.
We are proud of our friendly, close-knit, family-feel environment, where everyone supports each other, celebrates success and has the opportunity to build a rewarding career. As part of our continued growth, we’re looking for an enthusiastic Recruitment Consultant to join our expanding Temporary Trades & Labour division working under our Russell Taylor brand.
We believe recruitment is about people. You will spend plenty of time building relationships face-to-face with clients and candidates, rather than being behind a desk all day.
You will play a key role in supplying skilled trades and labour staff to construction projects across the region.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Recruiting and placing temporary trades and labour operatives across a variety of construction sites.
- Building strong relationships with existing clients while developing new business opportunities.
- Visiting client sites to understand their workforce requirements and strengthen partnerships.
- Sourcing candidates through job boards, social media, networking, referrals and your own candidate database.
- Interviewing, registering and screening candidates, ensuring compliance and right-to-work documentation is completed.
- Managing bookings, shift cover and last-minute requirements in a fast-paced environment.
- Matching the right candidates to the right roles while providing excellent support throughout the assignment.
- Maintaining accurate records using CRM and recruitment systems.
- Keeping up to date with market trends and identifying opportunities to grow your desk.
- Helping contribute to the continued growth and success of our expanding Essex branch.
What we are looking for:
- Previous recruitment experience, ideally within Construction Trades & Labour or another fast-paced temporary recruitment sector.
- A confident communicator who enjoys building lasting relationships with clients and candidates.
- A proactive attitude with the drive to develop new business and grow your desk.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple vacancies simultaneously.
- Comfortable using social media and recruitment technology to source candidates.
- A resilient, positive approach and the ability to thrive under pressure.
- Full UK driving licence preferred, but not essential.
- Right to work in the UK.
What we offer:
- Basic salary up to £35,000.00 per year, depending on experience.
- Uncapped earning potential with a competitive commission structure.
- Monday-Thursday: 8:30am-5:00pm, Friday: 8:30am-3:30pm.
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing by 1 day per year up to a maximum of 30 days plus bank holidays.
- Friendly, supportive, family-feel team.
- The opportunity to be part of a national recruitment business with an exciting expansion strategy.
- The chance to play a key role in developing and growing our Essex branch.
- Office just a 5-minute walk from the train station.
- A fast-paced, rewarding environment where no two days are the same.
