Founded in 2021, Elvet Recruitment is a specialist consultancy serving the construction and built environment sectors across the North of England. With a strong foundation, a growing reputation, and ambitious expansion plans, we are now looking for a driven Recruitment Consultant to join us at our newly refurbished office in Mandale Business Park, just outside Durham City Centre.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a business at the perfect time — established enough to offer stability, but young enough that your impact will genuinely shape our future. You won’t be just another number - you’ll be a key part of a small, ambitious team where your contribution genuinely matters.
The Role
As a Recruitment Consultant, you will run a full 360° desk, recruiting white‑collar permanent staff into an active and well-established client base within the construction industry. You’ll have the autonomy to build your own desk, backed by a supportive team, modern systems, and a leadership style that trusts you to deliver.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop deep market knowledge across clients, projects, and roles
* Maintain and grow relationships with existing clients
* Conduct business development to win new opportunities
* Source, screen, and consult candidates throughout the recruitment process
* Manage your own workload and time effectively
* Network to become a recognised expert in your sector
Candidate Profile
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds - whether you’re new to recruitment or an experienced consultant. What matters most is your ambition, resilience, and drive to succeed. Experience in telesales or a sales environment is advantageous, but not essential.
If you’re competitive, motivated, and want a career where your effort directly impacts your earnings and progression, you’ll thrive here. If you want a role where you can build something, earn well, and progress quickly, this is the opportunity.
