🚀 Ready to kick-start your career in recruitment? If you’re someone who:

You might be someone who:

Is confident, outgoing, and enjoys building relationships with people online and offline (but most importantly in Real Life…)
Strong communication skills - you will be talking to clients from all walks of life, so the ability to know the difference between a "morning BRUV" or a "good morning, Tom" is needed (seems obvious, but trust me - it's not...)
Is genuinely eager to learn the ins and outs of recruitment and the construction industry
Has a positive, “can-do” attitude and isn’t afraid of a challenge
Wants to build a long-term career with clear progression opportunities
Is not afraid to talk to people, day in, day out - face to face or over the phone
Takes initiative and is not afraid to ask questions.
Would jump at the chance of meeting a client face to face - on a construction site or in a swanky office in Mayfair.

Comprehensive training & ongoing development
Clear career progression path
Tenure-based annual leave increase
Quarter-end company activities

What you can expect from this role:

Year one – head down, training, repetition – the ‘blood, sweat and tears’ year.
Year two – you’re starting to have a clue about what you are doing, candidates and clients remember you and you will have made a few placements which will feel quite exciting (but also heartbreaking when the placement falls through.)
Year three – the penny fully drops, you have your own candidate and client pools, your placement numbers should have grown considerably, as well as your earnings and overall commission.
Year four – BINGO. Welcome to the Senior Recruitment Club
This is obviously a tongue in cheek summary but should give you an idea of what you are embarking on, before you click apply. Success in recruitment doesn’t usually happen overnight. It comes from the unglamorous daily grind of showing up, not giving up, drinking too much coffee and trusting the process. By stacking tiny, repetitive wins day after day, that persistence finally pays off when your dream candidates suddenly start accepting your offers!

If you’re still reading and ready to start an exciting new career, then maybe this is the place for you to take your first step into recruitment. Apply with your CV today 🚀
