Recruitment Consultant - Sales Experience

Salary: £25K basic, OTE £40K year 1, £60K year 2

The company:


My client specialises in technology recruitment, specifically SAP and Data & Analytics, working with the likes of Zalando, Muller and the Big 4 Consultancies. Since being founded in 2017, they have had 50% year on year growth in both revenue and headcount. It’s a really exciting time in their growth to join, having opened their second office (in Germany) 18 months ago. They have been top 10 finalists at the best companies awards in both 2022 and 2023, recognising their great culture and training.


To dive into this a little more, the benefits they offer include:


  • Hybrid working – 2 days per week

  • Weekly 1-2-1 sessions with a highly regarded Recruitment Sales Trainer

  • Office closed over the Christmas period (24th - first Monday in January)

  • Private health care (after 1st year of service)

  • Confidential External Counselling

  • Winter & Summer incentive trips (recent trips include Dubrovnik, Chamonix, Ibiza)


With uncapped commission ranging from 15-25%, and top billers hitting over £1million, there is great money to be earned here. Progression is mapped out up to Director level, so you know where you stand and what you need to do to get your next promotion.



The role:


Recruitment is a sales role, however instead of selling a physical product, your ‘products’ are your candidates! This means each day will truly be different. Selling a product can feel repetitive, but when each ‘product’ is a new person to learn about and find a job for, your role becomes a lot more exciting!


Responsibilities include:


  • Cold calling to win new business

  • Negotiating terms with clients

  • Taking briefs on your clients’ ideal candidate

  • Sourcing candidates through headhunting and networking

  • Posting job advertisements to further attract candidates

  • Building relationships with candidates and clients

  • Persuading the client to interview the candidate

  • Aligning candidate and client diaries to organise interviews

  • Receiving and delivering feedback

  • Negotiating salaries for placement

  • Making placements!


As with any sales role, this is a competitive environment. What makes recruitment different i you will not be capped in your progression. Your growth in the company is based on you individual figures, and once you hit your target you will be awarded a promotion. You will have the opportunity to manage a team, whilst still being able to bill and earn your own commission.
