Senior Recruitment Consultant

Perfect Personnel are seeking to add a Senior Recruitment Consultant to their existing team of dedicated consultants. Specialism: Industrial Recruitment / Multi-Sector

Are you an experienced Recruitment Consultant who knows how to build strong client relationships, develop business and deliver results, but is ready for more responsibility? We’re looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team. This is a hands-on role combining recruitment, client management and business development with the opportunity to lead, coach and develop a team of Trainee Recruitment Consultants. While we recruit across a wide range of sectors, we have particular expertise within industrial recruitment, so experience within industrial, temporary or high-volume recruitment would be a strong advantage.

The Role

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, you’ll take ownership of your own clients and recruitment activity while playing a key role in developing the next generation of consultants within the business. You’ll be expected to lead from the front: building relationships, winning and growing business, delivering an excellent service and helping your team achieve their potential. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing a portfolio of new and existing clients
• Building strong, long-term relationships with hiring managers and decision-makers
• Identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts and win new business
• Managing the full recruitment process from initial vacancy through to successful placement
• Sourcing, interviewing and selecting high-quality candidates
• Managing temporary and permanent recruitment requirements
• Leading and supporting a team of Trainee Recruitment Consultants
• Coaching trainees on candidate generation, client management, sales and recruitment best practice
• Setting expectations and helping trainees work towards individual and team targets
• Monitoring performance and providing regular feedback and support
• Leading by example and maintaining high standards across the team
• Working closely with senior management to identify opportunities for growth

Who We’re Looking For

This position is aimed at experienced recruitment professionals who are ready to take the next step in their career. You’ll already understand that successful recruitment is about much more than filling vacancies. You know how to develop relationships, understand your clients, find great candidates and create opportunities. We’d like to hear from you if you have:

• Proven experience as a Recruitment Consultant
• A strong track record of managing and developing client relationships
• Confidence in business development and winning new opportunities
• Experience managing the full 360 recruitment process
• Strong communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills
• A commercial and target-driven mindset
• The ability to work at pace while maintaining excellent service standards
• A genuine interest in coaching and developing less experienced consultants
• The confidence to lead from the front and take responsibility for team performance
• Previous management experience would be desirable
• Must own your own vehicle due to a large part of your role being on the road visiting clients
• Industrial recruitment experience would be particularly valuable, although experienced consultants from other recruitment sectors are encouraged to apply

What We’re Looking for in a Person

We want someone who is ambitious, positive and people-focused. You’ll enjoy working in a high-performance environment, but you’ll also understand that great recruitment businesses are built around great people. We want someone who can challenge their team to perform while creating an environment where people feel supported, motivated and recognised. You’ll be the type of recruiter who takes pride in their results, cares about their clients and candidates, and wants to help the people around them succeed.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to step into a senior position where you can make a genuine impact. You’ll have the autonomy to develop your own desk and client relationships while taking responsibility for developing a team of new consultants. As the team grows, there will be opportunities to take on greater leadership responsibility and progress your career within the business. If you’re an experienced Recruitment Consultant looking for your next challenge, and you want a role where you can continue billing, develop people and play a bigger part in the growth of a recruitment business, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and take the next step in your recruitment career.
