So why should I get into recruitment I hear you ask… Well below, we have borrowed six famous sporting quotes to try to explain a bit about the job and why making the move into a recruitment role may be the best career decision you could ever make. (Brownie points for being able to tell us who made each quote!)“You miss 100% of shots you don’t take” (WG)This is not an easy job and you will be asked to step outside your comfort zone on a daily basis. However, the rewards are well documented and if you want a break from your mundane nine to five then surely, it’s time to push yourself and give recruitment a shot.“If you fail to prepare, you are prepared to fail” (MS)In recruitment, no two days will ever be the same and your time is extremely valuable. To be able to get the best out of your time you have to be prepared to manage yourself and your business, ultimately you will be responsible for your own success so the better you prepare, the better chance you will have.“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” (TN)You can have all the ability and talent in the world but in recruitment, your attitude is the primary driver for success. If you are prepared to work hard and are determined to succeed regardless of what challenges you face then you will achieve all the goals you set out to.“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” (MA)This is an extremely competitive role and you have to be prepared to compete and perform at all times, this is a job where every day you get to win and be paid for it. You will have to be elegant in your approach but always prepared to fly into action when the time is right.“I wouldn’t say I was the best Manager but I was in the top one” (BC)Our management team have accumulated many years of success in recruitment; our ability to train and develop Consultants is unrivalled.
