Could your next role be as one of the team here at Personnel Placements as our new Recruitment Consultant? You'lll be joining an independent, generalist recruitment agency to help businesses grow their teams by finding jobs for people at all levels and sectors. 

As the new Recruitment Consultant, you’ll do just that – consult with, understand and offer advice and support, so you will be able to build relationships with hiring managers, decision makers and HR professionals. We are led by the businesses that we recruit for but are candidate focused, so having the ability to get to know job seekers and really understand their skills, experience and ambitions is key. We'd need you to have customer service experience and great verbal communication skills. 

Day to day you will be meeting candidates both face to face and via video call, using questioning techniques to gather information, explore skills and experience and understand what they need from their next career move. As a Recruitment Consultant you’ll also be taking and making calls to your business clients to take details of new job opportunities.

We use a really clever database to record everything we need to be able to match each candidate to the perfect job. This will include placing candidates in both permanent job roles and temporary assignments and using the database to create relevant documentation.

Good IT skills are also essential as well as knowledge of social media platforms including Facebook and LinkedIn. Past experience of recruiting people in any sector would also be an advantage but not essential as we’ll provide full training.

We offer an OTE Team Bonus paid every quarter. 20 days holiday (rising to 25) plus bank holidays and additional paid holiday days when the office is closed between Christmas and New Year. Initially, this role will be office based but there is flexibility and a hybrid style of working is also something we will support for the right person.

We do have a full job description, which you will find below, but for us, it’s about finding someone who has the right skills, attitude and work ethic who will fit into our team of passionate, professional and friendly recruiters!
