Recruitment Consultant in Milton Keynes

IRD Recruitment are growing. We’re a fast growing, small, nimble agency based in Bedfordshire looking to hire our next superstar into the business. The opportunity IRD Recruitment has spent over a decade placing drivers and warehouse staff across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Luton and Dunstable, and we've just launched into construction recruitment too. Now we're opening a new office in Bedford, & we need someone to build the desk that goes with it. This isn't a role where you inherit a book of business and keep it warm. There's no existing desk to take over. You choose the market, industrial, warehouse, driving or construction, & you build it in your way, with the support of the team here at IRD behind you. It’s a great opportunity for a recruiter who perhaps wants more autonomy, more freedom & more excitement in their career & wants to be part of a growing business where they really can make an impact & make a difference. You’ll no doubt come from an agency background already in a market you know very well & you’re no doubt keen to build a presence from the ground up within a business with undiluted support & resources behind you. If so, this is for you. What you'll be doing ● Choosing your market & building a client base from scratch across Bedford & the surrounding area ● Running the full 360 process: business development, candidate sourcing, interviewing, placing & account management ● Setting the tone for what IRD looks like in a brand new territory ● Working closely with the wider IRD team, but without someone looking over your shoulder telling you how to do it ● Building relationships that turn into repeat business, not one-off placements What we're looking for ● Proven 360 recruitment experience, ideally in industrial, warehouse, driving or construction, but we'll listen to a strong case from elsewhere ● A genuine track record of winning new business, not just working leads that were handed to you ● Comfortable with ambiguity. There's no script here, & no one else's desk to copy ● Financially motivated & honest about it. This role pays well because it's built for people who want to earn well ● Based within commuting distance of Bedford What's in it for you ● Full autonomy over which market you build, and how you build it ● Minimum £30,000 p/a plus a commission structure that will never penalise you for growth; genuinely no ceiling on what you can earn ● Backing from an agency with over 10 years of credibility already established in the region ● The chance to build something that's genuinely yours, not a desk that already has someone else's fingerprints on it ● A direct line to the business owner, not five layers of management between you & a decision. We’re nimble, we’re small & we’re keen to grow. Sound like you? If you've been waiting for the chance to build a desk on your own terms, this is it. Apply now & one of the team will be in touch to talk with you further. We can’t wait to talk with you
