Job Title: Graduate Trainee Recruitment Consultant - Brighton

Founded in January 2010, my client is a small but rapidly growing technical recruitment business who have ambitious growth plans for their offices in London, Brighton and Chester. They have the financial backing and infrastructure of one of the UKs largest technical recruitment groups, a £110m business who were recently listed in the top 50 most profitable recruitment companies in the UK.

Ultimately, the role of a Recruitment Consultant is to win business in the form of new job requirements from other businesses. In this case you will be targeted on finding technical opportunities on a contract basis that you will then look to fill with the best candidates in the quickest time frame. This role involves lots of cold-calling to find decision makers and negotiating on the fees you will be charging. It is a hugely dynamic and fast-moving environment and as such very lucrative.

You will benefit from an initial off-site introductory training course as well as further mentoring in your first six weeks. This is then followed by another sales course at which time you will be given realistic goals to achieve. At three months you should be working independently with help and advice when needed.

The basic salary for this positions starts at £15k, which goes up to £17.5k then £20k based on hitting financial targets. Given that you will also be making commission on all deals, you will be expected to earn £25-40k in year one and £40-80k in year two. As this is a fairly new business there are fantastic opportunities to advance to team leader and managing positions as soon as you deserve it.

The environment is very sales-driven but also very lively. The company will be offering rewards for top performers on top of the competitive commission scheme and will add incentives to keep the sales floor on their toes.

We are only interested in really aspirational graduates and those with a genuine drive to acheive high earnings. This can be a tough career and those who are the most resilient will fare better when it comes to the new business sales. In terms of academic criteria, my client is pretty open but those with less than a 2.1 will need a good reason. Evidence of drive and ambition in the form of other jobs or hobbies is most welcome.
