You don't need previous recruitment experience - we're open to candidates from all backgrounds. However, a background in sales, business development, customer service, retail, hospitality or another target-driven environment would be a great advantage.

  • Speaking with businesses to understand their recruitment requirements
  • Winning new vacancies and developing existing client accounts
  • Advertising vacancies and sourcing suitable candidates
  • Managing candidates through the recruitment process
  • Negotiating and closing deals
  • Working towards individual and team targets
  • Developing your knowledge of recruitment, sales and business development

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Confident, bubbly and outgoing personality
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport
  • Comfortable speaking to people on the phone
  • Driven, ambitious and motivated by achieving results
  • Resilient and able to handle rejection
  • A genuine interest in sales and business development
  • Previous sales or customer-facing experience would be beneficial, but is not essential
  • Recruitment experience is not required - full training will be provided

If you're confident, competitive and looking for an opportunity where your earning potential can grow with your performance, we'd love to hear from you.
