Recruitment Consultant

Posted by hireful..

Do you love actual recruitment of people into great jobs but find the constant new business cold calling and "building your desk with new clients" a gut wrenching, thankless task that you'd rather just not do? (I get it - we've all been there)

Then come & work for hireful and get paid just the same for mostly doing the "non-sales" side of recruitment! (You know, the actual recruitment)

Our Recruitment Consultants are much more akin to Talent Attraction experts, than traditional "rec cons" and most of your time will be spent on candidate attraction, candidate experience and placing candidates with our clients.

We partner closely with our clients and work to deliver both exceptional candidate AND client experiences, by delivering the talent they are looking for.

On the other hand, if you relish the hunt for new business: the cold calls, tracking people down, the thrill of winning the account... we totally respect that, but our agency business model is probably not right for you.

We are hireful & our mission is to be the most helpful recruitment technology company in the UK.

The important stuff:

Where you will live: Ideally close-ish to our lovely, converted barn offices in the Northamptonshire countryside (Wellingborough / Milton Keynes area). As a team, we've flip-flopped on the whole "office vs remote" debate, but have concluded that some office time isin fact welcome and very useful. So, hybrid working it is. 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home.

What you will earn: A basic salary of £25-30,000 depending on your recruitment experience, with uncapped, commission of up to 30% on all billings (paid when the candidate starts; no waiting for invoices to be paid). Our best performing senior consultants will earn over £100K in a good year. Realistically, 1st year for a relatively experienced person, I'd say around £50K+ though.

Benefits you'll get: Generous holiday allowance that increases with service (plus the option to buy more), private healthcare cover, pension, personal accident insurance, staff discounts, long service awards, paid volunteering days, free onsite parking, salary sacrifice schemes for bicycles and electric vehicles.

Still not convinced enough to follow this up? Then how about:

  • A most excellent team. Amazingly, we all actually like each other, even after years of all being together!
  • Our tenure is amazing for a recruitment agency team: 7+ years as an average
  • An excellent commission scheme. Scaling up to 30%, with realistic, ramping up targets for your first year, plus top-up schemes for hitting quarterly targets vs monthly.
  • Virtually no cold calling! Yes, you heard me... due to the way our business works, as the agency arm of a recruitment software company, steady stream of referrals, roles just dropping in to our inbox & introductions galore.
  • We are recruiters. We are not salespeople. Candidate experience, client experience and filling roles with excellent talent is what we do best.

I could go on with all the cheesy stuff about the pool table in the office, awesome social events, free tea and coffee... but I think you get the picture now.

If you're a Recruiter / Talent Acquisition person, who is looking for their next role... then we'd love to hear from you – so hit that apply now button, message me, call me, or just turn up at the office (Actually, don't do that; it's a bit creepy)
