Recruitment Consultant - Reed Specialist

Description:
As a Recruitment Consultant you will be responsible for building rapport with clients through cold-calling and building upon existing relationships. You will run your desk as though it were your own business, so will need to be able to manage both the highs and lows that this will bring. You will need to be pro-active, not afraid of a challenge and enjoy a thriving sales environment! You will be responsible for winning new business through ongoing sales activity (i.e proactive cold calls, sales visits, sales drops, sales presentations) and meet and exceed all targets set by your business manager.
You will understand and match companies’ recruitment requirements and applicants’ job aspirations, and be able to manage the expectations of both. You will use market leading technology and will have access to the most comprehensive training, development and support network in the industry.
