Location: Bolton | Hybrid
Build your market. Build your reputation. Build your career.
Recruitment has changed. We believe the way recruiters work should change with it.
The People Pod was founded by two people with more than 20 years' combined recruitment and sales experience who saw an opportunity to challenge traditional recruitment methods.
Rather than chasing volume, we focus on quality over quantity. We build genuine relationships, invest in understanding our clients and candidates, and take a more considered approach to finding the right people - not simply the most available people. That philosophy has helped us build a growing specialist recruitment business working with ambitious brands across the UK and Europe.
We're now looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to help grow our Property, Real Estate & Construction offering.
A head start, not a standing start.
You'll have established clients and live vacancies to work on from day one, giving you an immediate platform to generate revenue while building your own market, network and reputation. And you'll have the freedom to develop your own area of specialism across:
Property Management | Real Estate Investment & Asset Management | Property Development | Built-to-Rent (BTR) | PBSA | Lettings & Residential Property | Facilities Management | Construction & the Built Environment
You'll have the backing of an established business, experienced recruitment leaders and a collaborative team - but the autonomy to build your desk in your own way.
We're not looking for someone to simply manage a desk. We want someone who wants to make their mark.
What you'll be doing
You'll take ownership of your market and the full recruitment lifecycle, from winning new business through to identifying, engaging and placing exceptional candidates.
Build and grow your own client portfolio across your chosen Property, Real Estate or Construction market.
Win new business through targeted business development, networking, market mapping and proactive outreach.
Build a high-calibre candidate network through headhunting, referrals and strategic market engagement.
Manage the full recruitment process, from initial conversation through to offer and placement.
Develop relationships with senior stakeholders and key decision-makers.
Become a trusted recruitment partner, providing market intelligence, talent insights and advice rather than simply filling vacancies.
Identify opportunities to introduce clients to our wider recruitment and talent solutions.
Build your personal brand and profile through LinkedIn, content, networking and industry engagement.
Work collaboratively with the wider People Pod team, sharing ideas, opportunities and market intelligence.
What we're looking for
We're looking for an experienced recruiter who understands what it takes to build relationships, win business and deliver results.
You'll ideally have:
Previous experience as a 360 Recruitment Consultant / Senior Consultant.
Experience within Property, Real Estate, Construction or a closely related market would be advantageous, but isn't essential.
A proven track record of winning new business and developing client relationships.
Experience building and maintaining a strong candidate network.
A track record of successful placements and managing the recruitment process from start to finish.
The confidence to engage with senior decision-makers and build credible commercial relationships.
A commercial, entrepreneurial mindset and the desire to build rather than simply manage an existing desk.
Resilience, energy and a genuine desire to succeed.
A belief that quality relationships and great recruitment matter more than simply chasing volume.
What you'll get in return
We believe that if you perform well, you should be properly rewarded - and that your career shouldn't have a ceiling.
Competitive basic salary + top-tier commission structure
Fast-track career progression
The opportunity to build and own your own market
Established clients and live vacancies to give you momentum from day one
Exposure to interesting clients and opportunities across the UK and internationally
30 days' annual leave
Your birthday off
Car allowance scheme
Holiday incentives
Lunch clubs at top restaurants
Regular team socials
Mobile phone
Modern Bolton office with breakout areas, kitchen, pool table and fully stocked fridge!
Gyms, restaurants and shops within walking distance
A collaborative environment where success is recognised and celebrated
Build something you're proud of.
We're growing, we have ambitious plans for the next few years, and we'd like the people who join us now to be a big part of that journey.
You'll have the opportunity to build a successful market, develop your own reputation, earn well and progress your career - while working within a business that genuinely believes quality beats quantity
