Recruitment Consultant

Location: 16 Market Place, Kendal, LA9 4TN

Salary: up to 28k doe + commission

Hybrid: 8.30am-5.00pm 2-3 days in the office.

We’re looking for a sales or business development individual who knows how to reach targets, be resilient with their wins and sometimes loss of business but be mindful of how to bounce back and establish new wins and be conscientious on how to prioritise workload.  

More than anything we seek someone with the hunger, emotional and intuitive intelligence to find new and innovative ways to attract candidates. Working on the Perms desk, you have access to high fee roles in specialist areas such as accountants, office managers and IT roles.

You may even be an existing recruiter looking for a positive change, a new patch and industry, and to work alongside a dedicated team. Adecco is here to support you in that.

The Team

Your manager, Kelly, is not just enthusiastic, she’s invested in your potential and professional growth. She’s not looking for a slow start, she wants you at the forefront, making an impact, billing, and flourishing right from the beginning. She’s a hands-on manager, willing to give you as much training and help as you need to make you the very best recruiter you can be.

The team may be small but it’s mighty!

You’re in charge of pioneering your permanent desk across Kendal. You’re the main character in how you approach perm placements and provide essential customer service and support to your candidates. It’s time to know the market, know your clients and deliver the best candidates.

We need you to thrive on business development, cold calling, and knocking on client doors – a recruiter ready to shine. With guidance from exceptional talent, you’ll experience continuous progress and embrace learning opportunities.

  • Manage the candidate sourcing process and identify suitable candidates through screening in accordance with the client’s agreed requirements and agreed service levels
  • Arranging interviews, preparing candidates for interview, taking client and candidate feedback  
  • Maintaining relationships with both registered and placed candidates including placement administration and aftercare.

An existing recruitment background would be advantageous, but we are open to anyone who has rigorous sales drive and can evidence their enthusiasm for such.

Alongside this, we’re looking for someone with:

• A positive, motivated, and charismatic attitude
• Strong business and commercial acumen
• Ambitious nature who can keep up a professional and consistent pace with clients
• The drive to be a team-player within a supportive team and company environment

• Benefits: Company Pension Plan, Life Assurance, retail discounts, season ticket loan etc.
• Tailored programme of training and development.
