5 reasons why graduates are choosing a career in recruitment

Degree complete, you’re commercially savvy, money motivated & career-driven but unsure what to do next?

Many graduates are choosing to join the £42 Billion pound UK recruitment industry! Could this be your future career?

Recruitment offers…

1. Graduate schemes & Structured Training plans.

2. Big Earning potential.

3. Career Ownership – Dictate your own progression opportunities.

4. Personal Development Opportunities.

5. The Perks! Such as, Competitions, Lavish social events, Discounted benefits schemes for gyms, bars, retail shopping restaurants, Beer Fridges, Wellness Packs, Office Dogs, Team achievement nights!

Why start here?

We provide graduates with tailored training and career development opportunities to help you progress your career at speed!

You’ll work alongside and be mentored by experienced top performers within the industry to help you develop your skills and put your education & life skills into action!

Through training & support, we will help you to become a well-rounded recruitment professional, leading to a long term and rewarding career in recruitment. You can even choose your sector, Food, Drink, Education, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Finance, follow your passion & personality style!

The role after training

Once you know the business sell & role in more detail, you will start to take on further candidate & client responsibility before transitioning into growing & managing your own portfolio of clients and recruitment assignments.

As you start to deliver on your assignments, you’ll open up your salary bracket by having the opportunity to earn uncapped monthly commission on top of basic salary (Here, 90k has been possible by year 5, some have achieved this amount sooner, it’s down to you and your efforts. The formula is simple, listen + absorb + practice + implement + work hard = achieve big).

1. Graduate schemes & Structured Training plans.

There are so many different graduate schemes or jobs to choose from, so before making a speedy decision, you want to make sure you’ve fully considered your options. If you’ve got academic ability, entrepreneurial passion, emotional intelligence, and naturally competitive in your personal life, there will be plenty of employers looking to hire you. But you need to really establish what you want from the day to day and will this role allow you to grow as a person to achieve your life goals?

But why recruitment? It’s Busy – Recruitment never stops, it’s a bustling market and as the economy continues to grow, great employers will always look for the best talent which can only be sourced via recruiters due to market mapping solutions. #itswhatwedo

2. Big Earning potential.

In recruitment, there are strong financial incentives for performance, meaning dedicated, driven recruiters will be paid big monthly pay packets! The more successful you are in delivering the recruitment solutions clients need – and hitting your targets – the bigger the bonus.

Ps we also offer big biller bonuses which consist of an extra 5k on top of basic & commission…

3. Career Ownership – Dictate your own progression opportunities.

Top performers can move up the ladder quickly into more senior leadership roles. Recruitment is an industry where professionals are judged on performance and goal achievement. See next some of our internal case studies!

4. Personal Development Opportunities.

Personal growth is the process of growing stronger, more confident, and more effective as a person and an agent of change for your own life. What comes with this is achievement & Goal accomplishment. We see the importance of wellness in our employees & work to support through wellness Wednesdays, early finish Fridays, goal setting, family inclusivity, stress management support & much more.

5. The Perks.

Our culture is a great balance of professional & fun! We love to look after you!

Our offices are all based in bustling business areas within the city and they aren’t your basic office with coffee-stained carpets & white walls… ALL our offices had an interior designer handy, just saying. Check our Insta for more insight!

Outside of a market-leading commission structure, you’ll have access to;

· Every recruitment ‘tool’ you’ll need to stand out, innovative tech to a marketing team that supports you with brand image! If you don’t have the best, you can’t perform at your best, right?

· 27 days holiday plus bank holidays and extra leave in line with length of service

· Office Dogs & Friday Beers (in house bar stations with free beer & prosecco taps!)

· Two huge annual company-wide events and team socials (Culture is key here!)

· A personal wellness pack – Healthy Mind is key!

But finally, you’re loving the above but what do recruiters actually do?

Recruiters, across all sectors, have a multi-faceted role. You’re a little Marketing, sales, while problem-solving & networking. You’ll be the interviewer, the negotiator, the perfect matcher!

What are the responsibilities?

· Standing out & developing ‘Your Brand’ in a competitive marketplace (social, phone, email).

· Managing both new and existing candidate/business relationships – Account management.

· Targeted candidate mapping via LinkedIn, Job Boards & other sources.

· Conducting candidate interviews and qualifying them against current live roles.

· Ability to sell your recruitment service from start to finish through trust & previous business delivery & case studies. #standoutagainstthecompetition

· Administrative work, such as data analytics, research, CV advancement to support candidate’s application plus much more!
