Why Harnham?
Recruitment isn't an easy job but we are very aware that there are lots of opportunities for an aspiring consultant to grasp, so why us?
The Role -
Recruitment is at it's core a sales role, but it's a sales role with a high degree of sophistcation, complexity and satisfaction. Recruitment is split into two parts - Client's and Candidates
Clients
Client's pay recruitment agencies significants amount of money to find them the talent they cant source themselves. These relationships typically arise through cold calling, and so you'll need to be comfortable cold calling businesses to sell your service and expertise (as well as Harnhams). Once you're through that, you negotiate an agreement with the business to work on the roles before going out to market to find candidates. During the process you work closely with the client to ensure you've got a solid brief on the role, are clearly communicating your updates and when the candidate is offered, work hard to negotiate one that will get the candidate off the market!
Candidates
Sourcing candidates is one of the main parts of the role - once you've landed the client you need to find them the best candidate as soon as you can. This is often done through headhunting, advertising, networking and referrals. You will carefully work with your candidates to understand what they are looking for, match their skills and requirements to the clients needs before working with them to get through the interview process and getting them the offer!
The ideal candidate:
The best people in recruitment have real drive, ambition, resilience and motivation so to us this is the most important requirement. Throughout your interview process you will be tested in all of these areas and more so please don’t apply unless you are sure you can compete with the best!
At the end of our interview process you will also have a chance to experience what being a recruitment consultant involves on a day-to-day basis with some time on the sales floor and even calling some of our candidates so be ready to be put out your comfort zone and to learn a lot! Recruitment is obviously a sales based role so any kind of cold sales experience is extremely beneficial however not essential as full training will be provided.
Please note we are also accepting applications for April and May 2018, so if you're interested and more immediately available then please apply.
