GRADUATE 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.

RECRUITMENT RESOURCER/RESEARCHER

Nr Pershore, Worcestershire (Hybrid Office/Remote Home Working available)

£Very Competitive Benefits Bonus

If you've worked in recruitment for any length of time, you'll know it's a complex industry. An outsider may think it's simply about posting an advert, sending CVs, billing a fortune, then heading off to the nearest Audi showroom.

But you know there's so much more to being a recruiter. You need to be great at business development, account management, researching and interviewing candidates, positioning suitable candidates to the client, organising interviews, and on it goes.

Having done that for a while, maybe you've realised that one of those elements stands out more for you than the others. For example, possibly you know your strengths lie in researching and selecting candidates rather than the sales-based parts of your role.

If that's the case, you're probably feeling trapped in your current position. Some recruiters view resourcing as a low-level role. A backroom staff position while they are the stars of the show. Your company may consider it the same and frown upon you wanting to 'take a step back'.

At Martin Veasey Talent Solutions, we view it very differently. We know that attracting and assessing appropriate candidates is a crucial part of the recruitment process, and we value our resourcers as highly as anyone else in our team.

As such, we've invested heavily in our researching function with state-of-the-art software and tools to help our resourcers locate the best candidates for our clients. In addition, we work globally, with clients across every continent, so you will be able to grow your skills and experience by working with international candidates.

Our expertise lies in the engineering, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, supply chain, purchasing, logistics, and construction industries, so your experience in any of those sectors will count in your favour. However, we're happy to consider other related backgrounds as well.

As for locations, we're reasonably flexible on you either working purely from our offices in Worcester or a hybrid involving working from home as well.

There are many more details to discuss, so please indicate your interest in this role by emailing your CV to and quoting reference #843224 or call us on 01905 381 320.
