If you're looking to build a career in recruitment, sales or business development, this could be the opportunity to get started.

What is Recruitment Really Like?

Recruitment is a fast-paced, target-driven sales career. A large part of your day will be spent speaking to people on the phone. You'll make outbound calls to candidates and clients, build relationships, develop business and work towards clear activity and performance targets. Some conversations will go really well. Others won't. Candidates will turn down jobs, clients will say no and there will be days where things don't go to plan. Being able to pick yourself back up, learn from what happened and keep going is a big part of becoming successful in recruitment. For the right person, however, it can offer excellent earning potential, rapid career progression and the opportunity to build a genuine long-term career.

What You'll Be Doing

• Speaking to candidates to understand their experience, motivations and career goals
• Sourcing candidates using job boards, databases, LinkedIn and networking
• Making outbound and cold calls to candidates and potential clients
• Building long-term relationships with candidates and businesses
• Understanding client recruitment requirements
• Identifying and presenting suitable candidates to clients
• Generating leads and identifying new business opportunities
• Developing relationships with new clients
• Preparing candidates for interviews and gathering feedback
• Negotiating salaries, rates and job offers
• Managing candidates and clients throughout the recruitment process
• Working towards individual and team recruitment and sales targets

Training From Day One

We don't expect you to arrive knowing how recruitment works. New Trainee Recruitment Consultants start with our dedicated Training Bay, where you'll learn the fundamentals of recruitment from the ground up. You'll learn how to:

• Speak confidently to candidates and clients
• Structure recruitment and sales calls
• Find and qualify candidates
• Understand job requirements
• Generate leads and business opportunities
• Handle objections
• Prepare candidates for interviews
• Negotiate and close
• Manage your time, activity and recruitment desk

Your development doesn't stop when the Training Bay finishes. You'll continue through our structured recruitment module programme alongside regular coaching from our Learning & Development team, your manager and experienced recruiters around you. The aim is simple: to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to become a successful Recruitment Consultant.

What We're Looking For

Previous recruitment experience isn't required. We're much more interested in your attitude, potential and willingness to learn. You'll probably enjoy and succeed in this role if you are:

• Ambitious - you want to progress and achieve something
• Resilient - you can deal with setbacks and keep going
• Driven - you're prepared to put the work in to become successful
• Coach-able - you listen to feedback and put it into practice
• Confident - you're willing to speak to new people and pick up the phone
• Competitive - you enjoy targets and achieving results
• Positive and engaging - you can build rapport and relationships with people
• Commercially minded - you're interested in sales, business and earning potential
• Determined - when things get difficult, you look for a way forward rather than giving up

You will need to be comfortable making outbound and cold calls as this is an important part of the role. Experience within sales, retail, hospitality, customer service, telesales, account management or business development can be useful but it isn't essential. Graduates and people looking to start their first professional sales career are also encouraged to apply.

Career Progression

Recruitment can offer much faster progression than many traditional career paths. As your skills and performance develop, you'll have opportunities to progress through increasingly senior recruitment roles, build your own specialist market, take on greater commercial responsibility and, for those who want it, potentially move into management. Your progression is driven by your development and performance, not simply how long you've worked here.

Could Recruitment Be Right for You?

You may already be considering recruitment, or you may currently be looking at careers in sales, business development or other target-driven roles. What matters most to us is that you are ambitious, resilient, willing to learn, comfortable speaking to people and prepared to work hard to become successful. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you. Apply today to find out more about starting your career as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant with Navartis in Doncaster.
