Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Hamilton Barnes
London
Trainee Recruitment Consultant | Liverpool Street, London

Who We Are

Hamilton Barnes is a specialist technology recruitment company, recruiting the people who power the internet across networking, cloud, cyber security, data centres, AI and enterprise IT.

Founded in 2014, we've grown into an international business and have been recognised by The Sunday Times Best Places to Work for three consecutive years, as well as being named in the Financial Times 1000 twice.

What We Offer

We recruit at trainee level and develop people from the ground up. You don't need previous recruitment experience.

* 100+ hours of structured training delivered by our leadership team and founders

* Ongoing development through the HB Hub, with 70+ training videos and 100+ hours of learning content

* Support from an independent performance coach

* A clear progression structure, with your development mapped out from trainee to 360 recruiter

* Uncapped commission with the opportunity to significantly increase your earnings as you progress

* A collaborative, competitive team environment with regular socials, competitions and events

* The opportunity to build your own specialist market and progress into leadership over time

The Role

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll learn how to manage the full recruitment process across both candidates and clients.

You'll be responsible for:

* Building relationships with candidates and clients

* Sourcing candidates through LinkedIn, job boards and direct outreach

* Speaking to people over the phone and understanding their career goals

* Developing new business and building your client network

* Managing vacancies from initial brief through to placement

* Negotiating offers and closing deals

* Developing your own specialist market as you progress

It's a sales-focused role, so you'll be working towards targets and your results will directly influence your earnings and progression.

What We're Looking For

We hire for attitude, work ethic and potential, rather than previous recruitment experience.

We're looking for people who are:

* Driven and ambitious

* Resilient when things don't go their way

* Competitive and motivated by targets

* Confident speaking to new people

* Willing to learn, take feedback and improve

* Prepared to put the work in to build a career

Recruitment isn't for everyone. There will be difficult days, plenty of rejection and a lot to learn in your first few months.

If you're actively looking for a career where you can develop quickly, earn based on your performance and build something of your own, we'd like to hear from you - we are actively hiring throughout the business with swift interview processes.
