Lead Recruitment Consultant

We’re looking for a Lead Permanent Sales Consultant to join an established recruitment business, working on a busy blue-collar permanent desk.

You’ll need a strong sales background within Construction, FM or Engineering recruitment, with a proven track record of winning business and building a desk.

This is not an account management role. The focus is on sales, winning new business, generating vacancies and building your own desk, alongside supporting and leading a small team.

The role

• Build and develop your own permanent desk across the blue-collar market
• Win new business and generate permanent vacancies
• Work across an established business with access to multiple PSLs
• Develop new and existing client relationships
• Manage your own candidates, clients and placements
• Team Lead responsibility for a small team, providing support, direction and day-to-day guidance
• Lead by example and maintain your own billing activity
• Help develop the team through your own approach to sales and recruitment
• Be proactive in identifying and picking up new opportunities

About you

• Strong permanent recruitment and sales experience
• Background in Construction, Facilities Management or Engineering
• Proven ability to win new business
• Confident and capable of leading a small team
• Driven, commercially minded and target focused
• Comfortable building and developing a desk
• Hands-on and still keen to pick up work yourself
• Able to lead by example rather than simply manage
• Motivated by both personal billing and helping a team perform

We’re looking for someone who wants to build their own desk, bill and develop a small team around them.

If you’re a strong sales recruiter with the relevant sector experience and are looking for a genuine Team Lead opportunity within an established recruitment business, get in touch.
