You will be expected to do new business, however there are a lot of warm / luke-warm leads that can be worked to your benefit. It is approximately a 50/50 split of new to existing accounts. 95% of the permanent work my client does is contingency based, however there is some retained work– and if retained work is your specialist area, then this is will be welcomed. Consultants are encouraged to meet all clients and candidates when convenient.

- Team is fun, good banter, but hard working.
- Excellent training
THE CANDIDATE:
We are looking for someone with recruitment experience. Our client's preference is someone sharp, intelligent and confident. Ideally you will have some IT knowledge, but this is not essential as you can learn the technical aspect of the role. We prefer candidates with a degree but this also is not essential. You must be tenacious as well as patient and polite.
