Graduate Recruitment Consultant

We welcome applicants without prior recruitment experience but seek individuals who are ambitious, eager to learn, and driven to succeed. While this career offers fantastic rewards, it requires determination, quick thinking, and a strong business acumen. You should be comfortable engaging with candidates and clients at all levels, whether on the phone, in person, or online. We embrace challenges and are committed to helping companies grow, advancing candidates’ careers, and providing valuable advice.
As a Recruitment Consultant, your role will involve consulting with both clients and candidates to understand their needs and make suitable matches. You will specialise in sourcing candidates for niche roles within your designated sector. Throughout the course, you will develop research and marketing skills, enhance your sales and business development capabilities, and refine your communication and negotiation skills.
Our Recruitment Master-course runs for six weeks and will set you up for long-term success if you bring your drive and determination. Led by our experienced Talent Manager, the course covers various recruitment modules, focusing on the art and science of recruitment and the sales process. The learning experience will be immersive, interactive, and on-the-job.
