This is a relationship-driven sales role where success comes from building trust, influencing decisions, creating opportunities, and consistently picking up the phone.
As a Recruitment Consultant, you'll spend your day speaking with school leaders and education professionals, developing long-term partnerships, identifying recruitment needs, and matching talented candidates to vacancies. You'll be responsible for growing your desk, generating business opportunities, and building a strong network within the education sector.
We're looking for ambitious individuals who enjoy building relationships, thrive in a target-driven environment, and don't let setbacks knock them off course.
If you're motivated by success, career progression, and earning more through your performance, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and developing relationships with schools and education professionals
- Making proactive outbound calls to generate opportunities and grow your desk
- Winning new business and developing existing client relationships
- Sourcing, interviewing, and managing candidates
- Matching candidates to vacancies and managing the recruitment process

- Managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced sales environment
- Achieving performance targets and increasing your earnings through uncapped commission
