Trainee Tech Recruiter - Manchester in Warrington

Who we are: A dedicated tech recruitment agency founded in 2014 by Directors with over 40 years combined experience, we partner with a plethora of household names UK wide & beyond to source top level technologists across every industry specialism.

The role: After a record breaking year and a move into our shiny new offices overlooking the city, we are looking to grow the team once more. We're not one of the big boys so you won't be part of a 10 person intake, we can dedicate the time and resources you will need as an individual to make yourself a success in what is a hugely competitive industry. We can also offer a wide choice of market specialisms under the direct mentoring of our experienced leadership team. You will be responsible for expanding our service offering along the lines of your chosen market, bringing on board new clients and making sure they're serviced to the levels we have become renowned for. You'll get plenty of help along the way and we pride ourselves on avoiding the churn & burn approach to expansion - if you're dedicated & committed, we'll be with you all the way.

So what are we looking for? Successful recruiters come from many a background but most have experience in some sort of customer service or sales role where people interaction plays a big part. What you will need though is a commitment and dedication to delivering for your clients whilst being driven to achieve, and surpass, targets set. With this should be a genuine thirst for both personal and financial success in what is one of the most competitive industries you can imagine. We only recruit for highly sought after technical staff and competition is tough, we know it’s not easy but nothing that's worth the reward ever is! As technology is our sector of choice, you will also need to develop a deep understanding of your chosen speciality - Google can always help but a few weekends with your head buried in the right kind of book won’t go amiss.

Traits you will need to bring:

• Communication - strong written and verbal communication skills are a must as you establish and build relationships across the industry
• Self-Promotion - your ability to promote your personal brand is an essential part of what we do. Via Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, personal and company blogs etc, you will be reaching out to prospects and must have a firm grasp of how to market yourself with confidence
• Organisation – with numerous clients and candidates seeking your expertise, you will need to master the art of multiple plate spinning
• Initiative – an ability to think on your feet and resolve any issues is vital.
• Work ethic – it goes without saying in any role but you get out what you put in. This is especially true in recruitment.
• Resilience – things go wrong in recruitment, often! You’re representing people and those people have a tendency to change their minds - often to your detriment. Shout, scream, sulk a little……..then pick yourself up and go again.

And what you can expect:

• Comprehensive training in all aspects of the role – both “classroom” and “on the job”
• Uncapped, market leading commission scheme with no thresholds and quarterly incentives to progress
• Team holiday incentives – last year saw the team visit Las Vegas
• Clothing allowance
• 25 days holiday, birthday off & WFH options after probation
• Access to marketing lead tech & Linkedin recruiter account
• Company pension scheme
• Awesome Altrincham centre office location overlooking the markets with pool table, table tennis, beer fridge & underground parking (also available to use at the weekend, very handy for shopping!)
• Relaxed, friendly culture – we’re competitive but we’re not Wolf of Wall Street

Curious? You probably have lots of questions but if the above genuinely sounds like the kind of challenge that excites we would love to hear from you. Drop us a line with your latest CV and we can arrange an initial, informal chat.
