What’s great about a career in recruitment?
Everyday you have the potential to change someone’s life and transform a business! By acting as an advisor to companies and individuals, you are responsible for matching job-seekers to new roles, and introducing industry experts to new career opportunities. And, if you’re hardworking, persistent, and effective at delivering results, you’ll enjoy a long, varied and successful career in recruitment and make a lot of money!
What does a day in recruitment look like?
It's varied - essentially you're responsible for sourcing candidates for your clients' open job vacancies, which involves:
- Calling people from your database
- Engaging with people on social media
- Attracting people via advertising and marketing
- Reaching out to people in the industry who may be open to new opportunities
- Interviewing and assessing people
- Shortlisting and submitting people to clients
- Arranging interviews and coordinating pre-employment checks
- Following up with people you place into work
- Being proactive with other candidates to try and find them job opportunities through business development calls and attending sales meetings
What are some of the challenges I’ll face?
Being a Recruitment Consultant is challenging:
- There’s a lot to learn and it can often take time to see results
- It's a sales job, so there's fee targets and activity KPIs
- All day long, you’re interacting with people – mostly on the phone but also in meetings and interviews - so you need lots of energy and enthusiasm
- Working with people can be challenging so you’ll need to be resilient, have a positive attitude and possess good problem-solving skills
- And finally, there are lots of different aspects to the role so you’ll need good time management, the ability to work at pace, and be comfortable spinning lots of plates!
What kind of person makes a good recruiter?
As the majority of the current vacancies I have within my portfolio of clients are for very technical desks in specialist industries, we're looking for people from professional/B2B sales backgrounds, individuals that have worked in the mining or construction industry, or graduates that have completed technical degrees like Finance, Commerce, Engineering or Psychology. At the end of the day, it's really about your attitude, personality and work ethic, as well as having a strong sense of drive and ambition but these are the preferred backgrounds we're most interested in.
