Recruitment Consultant
Talk Recruitment Ltd — Coleshill (North Warwickshire / North Solihull - 8 mins from NEC)
Who we are
We’re a family-run recruitment consultancy where people come first. We care about doing good work for clients and candidates. We have a reputation for filling hard-to-fill roles and long-term client relationships.
No egos, no bravado — just a professional, supportive team environment.
The role
As Recruitment Consultant your role exists to support the talent acquisition strategy of clients, attracting candidates to job roles, delivering a quality experience and generating revenue in line with targets.
We take great pride in the service we offer our candidates and clients. We strive to be professional, personable and a genuine partner to all our customers. You will be expected to uphold those values whilst becoming a valued member of our ambitious, focused team.
Your growth path
From day one you’ll have a personalised development plan and structured training.
Initially your role would involve a mix of client and candidate management duties, including business development, vacancy management and candidate search / delivery.

If leadership appeals, there’s also a route to Team Leader as you develop.
