One of the UK's most respected mid-senior search firms, established by the former owners of a leading London based professional recruitment firm, recognised as a Sunday Times 'Best Small Company to work for'.
The core business is to identify, engage with and assess highly sought-after talent, for a very select group of organisations in the Financial Services industry.
They've built a fantastic reputation, not as one of the biggest, but as one of the best at what they do. They aren't the type of company to shout about their success, the house style is to under promise and over deliver, but suffice to say they're doing well.
Working with experienced recruiters, this is a key role in the team and provides the perfect entry point into the business, allowing you to develop all the skills and knowledge to progress to become a Recruiter, while at the same time identifying and qualifying the talent our clients rely on us to deliver.
Dealing with very senior and highly regarded customers, learning new skills and assimilating lots of information rapidly isn't easy. You'll need to enjoy working as part of a team and achieving stretching targets. The days can be long and demanding so resilience and motivation is a prerequisite, but in return you will be rewarded with both progression and financial rewards.
To be successful you will need the following attributes:
Interpersonal effectiveness - you will be required to build a network of contacts, so you will need to be totally comfortable liaising with people of all different levels to achieve your goals.
Drive - as with anything worthwhile, there are no shortcuts. To be successful requires hard work, solving problems and overcoming challenges.
High Performance - This company have high standards, so look for high achievers. Generally we look at graduates from top universities, with a 2:1 (level) or above in an academic subject, or some other meaningful evidence of consistent achievement, coupled with demonstrable success while working in a target led environment.
