Graduate Recruitment Consultant

Are you an ambitious individual who loves talking to people, getting to understand their motivation and supporting them on their path?

Are you resilient, tenacious and prepared to make mistakes in order to learn and keep progressing?

Having joined Academics 5 years ago in what was a new branch at the time, I've seen consultants join and grow in what has become a very successful branch. The business is constantly reviewing and adapting the way we train entry-level consultants with a clear 3 month programme and the opportunity to share experiences and learn with other consultants with a similar length of service from all across the country. Our Sussex branch is one of the newest within the Academics group and there's an opportunity for you to join an up and coming team.

A dominating force in the education recruitment sector, Academics are constantly growing which is creating more and more opportunity for staff in-house to progress their own career, so now really is the best time to get on board.

Perks (there are so many):

• Excellent Training and Development
• Excellent commission structure which fairly rewards your hard work
• Performance-related salary incentives
• Clear career progression path
• Flexible working pattern during term-time (07:00-16:30 | 08:00-17:30 | 09:00-18:30)
• Reduced working hours during school holidays
• 27 days annual leave (increasing each year) + bank holidays
• A company that looks after you (the company protected us with 100% salary during furlough)
• Glitzy Christmas events
• Summer do's - and plenty more outings throughout the year!
• The main one.... Friday drinks in town!

The role will include:

Initially whilst you are training, you will be posting adverts, searching on job boards for CV's and then contacting prospective candidates to pre-screen them for a specific role.

Once you've nailed this part, you'll be trained to start making sales calls to schools and introducing them to the candidates you've worked hard to get to know.

Desirable qualities for this role

• Excellent phone manner and customer service skills
• Fantastic work ethic and a positive attitude
• Ability to cope in a busy, pressured environment
• A good team player with the ability to work on own initiative

Look forward to having you on board!
