Job Description:

We’re looking for an ambitious and confident individual to join an established recruitment business and build a career in the industry.

You do not need previous recruitment experience. You’ll initially focus on candidate sourcing, learning how to identify, approach and engage talented people while developing a strong understanding of the recruitment process.

Responsibilities

  • Speaking with potential candidates and building relationships over the phone
  • Searching databases, LinkedIn and other platforms to identify suitable candidates
  • Approaching and engaging people about new career opportunities
  • Understanding candidates’ experience, motivations and career goals
  • Using recruitment software and databases to manage candidate information
  • Supporting experienced consultants with live recruitment assignments
  • Taking on increasing responsibility as your knowledge and confidence develop
  • Progressing towards managing your own candidates, clients and recruitment desk

Recruitment experience is not essential. We’re much more interested in finding someone with the right personality, attitude and potential.

  • Previous experience in sales, telephone work, customer service or another role involving regular customer interaction
  • Confident speaking to people on the phone and approaching people you don’t know
  • Comfortable using computers, databases and online systems
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly
  • A commercial mindset and motivation to work towards targets
  • Resilience and the ability to handle rejection and setbacks
  • Ambition to develop quickly and build a long-term career in recruitment
  • Living within a reasonable commuting distance of Thame
  • Expected total earnings of around £45,000 by Year 2
  • Potential to earn £60,000+ by Year 3
  • Clear progression into a full Recruitment Consultant position
  • Full training and support as you develop your recruitment career
