Graduate Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Our company is in its 14th year of supplying specialist personnel throughout Scotland and beyond! We, like any company, have been hit by recessions, economic downturns, and of course the pandemic… however… we have kept going by holding firmly to our first principles. We believe in the power of people and the ability to work in a moral, ethical, way. Our team comes first, last and everything in-between.

We take chances with people, those that convince us they are looking to get into recruitment, either as their first job after Uni, or as a career change. It doesn’t always work out but we still believe it’s the right way to go, join us as a Trainee and hopefully you will fall in love with recruitment as we have.

The central role of a Graduate Trainee Recruitment Consultant focuses around communication, both verbal and written. You need to be good at building relationships, with clients and candidates, both face to face and on the telephone/video call. Straight away it will involve business development, alongside utilising entrepreneurial skills, to build your specialist section. Of course it is a trainee role so you will be mentored, however, you need to have the self-confidence to throw yourself into the role from day 1.

We are a small supportive team, we believe in working as a team so everyone can reach their own potential whilst the business as a whole pushes forward. The initial graduate training programme lasts 9 months and is broadly mentor based whilst working through your training matrix. Performance reviews are held regularly so you will always know how you are getting on and what to focus on next. Once your traineeship is complete you will be ready to start your CertRP, an industry recognised recruitment qualification.

Our Trainees are paid a basic salary plus commission on all fees, and within the first year you would expect to earn between £28.000 and £32.000. (based on first year P60 figures). The commission is uncapped which would really suit a high achiever.  As we operate a meritocracy your package will increase as you develop, our varied career opportunities suit those who are interested in people management or alternatively business management.

In short we are looking for someone who is a genuinely nice person, not scared to get stuck in and has the drive and ambition to work hard. Business meetings are becoming more common again so a drivers licence is needed. Please do some research on the role and if you are interested send in your CV with a covering letter letting us know why you are interested in the role and what skills you think you have to offer.

Please note as we generally get a lot of interest we will not be able to respond to those who have not included a covering letter as generic applications don’t work for us.
