What is the role?

Our Business Support team in Reed’s Peterborough office are looking for a new Recruitment Consultant to join their successful team of recruiters where you will be focusing on the temporaries market. This opportunity has come about due to family leave although we would like to train and retain a new Consultant on a permanent basis. It does mean that you will be able to pick up a couple of temps already in bookings, but we are looking for you to invest a lot of time in business development to build this desk back up because there were a few temps that got taken on permanently with clients. 

The role will very much involve growing new client relationships to fulfil their recruitment needs, then developing this client base into long term profitable relationships. This will require some level of cold calling, business development and account management. We have had a lot of success in this area through doing drops in the local area, which is why a car driver would be essential, but we cover all expenses. 

You will be working alongside your Business Manager who also recruits for her own successful desk, a very experienced Consultant on a Finance & HR desk billing over £250k per year, a newer Consultant already billing £10k per month, and a brand new to recruitment Graduate who has started billing after initial training. The previous Consultant working this desk now on family leave, was successful with 3 promotions up to Executive Consultant level within 2 years, so we have lots of proven success within the area. 

Reed will provide industry leading training, as well as professional and personal development, to ensure you can become the most knowledgeable Consultant in your field. You will be supported throughout your career with Reed and rewarded for all your hard work and dedication through our Career Development Framework. This means automatic pay rises, promotions and a lot of recognition for achieving success.

What do Reed offer in return?

• Uncapped bonuses, rewards and incentives for all Consultants, and even a free holiday and Tesla are up for grabs!
• High achiever’s awards and events
• Hybrid and dynamic working
• Paid sabbaticals and monetary rewards for length of service
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and the ability to buy, sell and carry over holiday
• Reed Discount Club
• Pension Scheme and health club benefits
• Plus, many, many more!

Who would suit this role?

We are looking for anyone with some recruitment experience, and/or sales experience.  We would also love to speak to anyone with client facing/account management experience. You will need to comfortable and confident in a client facing role because you will be doing a lot of client visits.
