As an experienced sales professional, what's it like to sell a service that you know isn't very good?
It's difficult to sell when, deep down, you don't believe what you're saying.

Graduate Trainee Recruitment Consultant
£Very Competitive + Benefits + Commission/BonusGRADUATE TRAINEE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT
£Very Competitive + Benefits + Commission/Bonus
Nr Pershore, Worcestershire
What's your mental picture when you think of a Recruitment Consultant?You'll probably think of a power-dressing, sales beast with an expensive watch and loud voice who uses phrases like 'Work hard, play hard' and 'Go hard or go home'.
If you fancy a career in recruitment based on that picture, then you're not for us. Sorry, but we need someone very different.
Why?
Because we're the type of recruitment agency that uses the word 'professional' in its purest sense. During the past thirty-five years, we've built our business by giving our customers a high-quality, professional service. It's a simple but effective policy as they keep coming back to us for their recruitment requirements.
We now need to expand our team and want to invest in someone like you to become a successful and professional recruitment consultant. And we prefer the word 'invest' than 'train' because, like all good investments, we're in it for the long term and know that we have to allow time for our investment to mature.
Our first investment will be to develop you for your future career in recruitment. This includes our own in-house and online learning courses to support you plus external recruitment coaching and training with some of the UK's best recruitment trainers.
While you're learning the theory through these highly structured courses, we will give you practical experience by placing you alongside an experienced recruitment consultant. There's no substitute for practical learning and having that mentor to guide you through the recruitment process is a crucial part of your development.
And we know all of that learning takes time, so we have realistic expectations that you will focus your first three to six months on education, not billing. Our experience tells us that the billing takes care of itself in the future if we get the learning part right.
As for your background, we expect you to be degree qualified in a business or technical discipline and have a desire to work in a sales-based role. Like all sales roles, your personality will dictate your success and having natural confidence with the ability to communicate clearly and maturely with people will be critical to your career.
With much of our training being in-house via local training providers or via webinar, you will need to live within a commutable distance of our offices near Worcester, so possible locations could include Worcester, Cheltenham, Pershore, Gloucester, Warwick, Stratford, Kidderminster, Droitwich or Stourbridge, Hereford, Ledbury, Evesham, Malvern, Redditch, Alcester, Bromsgrove, Stourport.
