Job Description

Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Location: Manchester

Salary: £25k-£26k + uncapped comms £30k realistically year 1

Job Type: Full-time

Ready to start a career where your performance actually matters?

Are you a recent graduate, or early in your career, and looking for a role where you can learn, earn and progress quickly?

We're looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our client.

You don't need previous recruitment experience. What matters is that you're ambitious, driven, confident talking to people and willing to put the work in.

Recruitment is a fast-paced, people-focused career that combines sales, relationship building, negotiation and problem solving. You'll learn how to identify great candidates, win new business and work with businesses to solve their hiring challenges.

What will you actually be doing?

You'll be trained across the full recruitment process, giving you exposure to both candidate delivery and business development.

Your role will include:

• Speaking with businesses to understand their recruitment requirements
• Building relationships with hiring managers and clients
• Sourcing and identifying candidates using databases, LinkedIn, social media and referrals
• Speaking with candidates and conducting telephone/in-person interviews
• Building and managing your own candidate network
• Writing and supporting with job adverts
• Matching candidates to the right opportunities
• Preparing candidates for interviews and supporting them throughout the process
• Arranging interviews and managing the offer process
• Developing relationships that lead to repeat business
• Identifying new business opportunities and developing them into clients
• Attending client and candidate meetings as you develop
• Managing your own workload, targets and pipeline

You'll be involved in the full recruitment lifecycle, from finding a candidate right through to them accepting an offer.

No recruitment experience? That's OK.

We're not looking for someone who already knows how recruitment works.

We're looking for someone with the right attitude and potential.

You could be a recent graduate, have 6–24 months' sales/customer service experience, or simply be looking for your first real career opportunity.

You'll need to be:

• Ambitious – you want to build a successful career
• Resilient – you're comfortable hearing "no" and getting back on the phone
• Confident – you're happy speaking to candidates and clients
• Commercially minded – you're interested in sales and earning potential
• Organised – you can manage multiple priorities
• Competitive – you enjoy having targets and measuring your performance
• Personable – building genuine relationships comes naturally to you
• Hungry to learn – you want to develop and progress

What does progression look like?

This isn't a role where you're expected to stay a Trainee Consultant indefinitely.

You'll have a clear opportunity to progress into a Recruitment Consultant position by demonstrating consistent high performance.

Progression is based on what you achieve, including:

• Revenue generated
• Quality of your work
• Candidate and client relationships
• New business generated
• Conversion rates
• Your ability to manage the full recruitment process
• Consistently hitting and exceeding targets

As you develop, you'll gain experience in client meetings, candidate interviews, business development and managing your own vacancies and pipeline.

Why recruitment?

Recruitment gives you the opportunity to build skills that can take you a long way in your career.

You'll develop experience in:

Sales. Negotiation. Communication. Business development. Networking. Relationship management. Commercial awareness.

And the better you become, the more responsibility and earning potential you can take on.

If you're competitive, ambitious and enjoy working with people, recruitment can be an incredibly rewarding career.
