We are also open to candidates without recruitment experience who have a strong sales, customer service or business development background and the right attitude to succeed.
What We Offer
- Uncapped commission with excellent earning potential.
- Competitive basic salary.
- Fully office-based role in Birmingham.
- Supportive and collaborative team environment.

You'll need to be someone who is happy to pick up the phone, speak to new clients, chase opportunities, recruit candidates quickly and consistently deliver a high level of service.
If you enjoy recruitment, sales, targets, relationship building and earning commission based on your results, this could be an excellent opportunity to join a growing healthcare staffing agency in Birmingham.
