Recruitment Consultant Sales in Northam

You don't need recruitment experience.
You do need ambition, confidence, curiosity and the desire to become genuinely good at what you do. One Way has been recruiting across the construction industry since 2005. We're independently owned, established and still ambitious about where we go next. We're looking for people who want to build a proper commercial career with us. You may already work in sales, property, automotive, hospitality, account management, customer service, construction or another people-focused environment. Or you may simply know you're capable of more than your current role is giving you. We're more interested in your potential than whether you've worked in recruitment before. What is recruitment?
Recruitment is a sales career built around people and relationships. You'll speak with businesses about the people they need, find and engage candidates, develop relationships, negotiate, solve problems and ultimately build a network and market of your own. Some days you'll win. Some days you'll hear no. You'll need to be comfortable picking up the phone, starting conversations and following opportunities. The better you become, the more responsibility you'll get and the more you can earn. What you'll be doing.
You'll learn how to: Build relationships with new and existing clients.
Find and engage candidates using our database, job boards, LinkedIn and other technology.
Make outbound calls and create new business opportunities.
Understand clients, their businesses and the construction projects they're delivering.
Manage candidates from initial conversation through to placement.
Negotiate rates and fees.
Develop your own network and market.
Use CRM, data, AI and technology to work intelligently and efficiently.
Manage your own pipeline and commercial targets.
Become someone clients and candidates genuinely trust.
You won't be expected to know all of this on day one. We'll teach you. Who we're looking for.
We're not particularly interested in a perfect CV. We're interested in the person behind it. Someone who is curious, driven, adaptable, commercially minded, resilient, good with people, comfortable with technology and willing to keep learning. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room. Good salespeople listen as well as they talk. You do need the confidence to make things happen rather than wait for them to happen. What you'll get from us.
Competitive basic salary.
Uncapped commission and genuine earning potential.
Structured training and support.
Experienced recruiters and business leaders around you.
Modern recruitment technology, CRM, data and AI tools.
Clear expectations and measurable targets.
Genuine responsibility as you develop.
Career progression based on ability and performance.
The opportunity to develop your own client and candidate network.
Hybrid working once you've completed your initial training and demonstrated that you can perform effectively.
Why are we initially office based?
Because we believe you'll learn faster. Recruitment involves conversations, negotiation, judgement and problem solving. Sitting alongside experienced people means hearing how they handle calls, objections, clients and difficult situations. For approximately your first 12 to 34 weeks, we'd therefore expect you to be predominantly office based. Once you're established and performing, we're open to a more flexible way of working. We care about results, accountability and being part of the team. About One Way.
One Way was established in 2005 and specialises in recruitment across construction and the built environment. We've spent more than 20 years building relationships with contractors, developers and construction businesses across the UK. We're not trying to become a huge recruitment factory. We want good people, good clients and a business where people are trusted, accountable and rewarded for the value they create. The industry is changing quickly. Technology and AI are changing recruitment too. We see that as an opportunity. We want people who are interested in using those tools while retaining the thing that matters most in recruitment: relationships between people. Interested?
You don't need to already call yourself a salesperson. You don't need recruitment experience. And you don't need to tick every box before applying. If you're doing alright in your current job but have a feeling you've got more in you, we'd like to hear from you. Come and have a confidential conversation with us and find out whether recruitment could be the career you haven't considered yet. One Way is an equal opportunities employer. Applications are welcomed from people of all backgrounds, and selection is based on the skills, attributes and potential relevant to the role.
