Responsibilities

As a recruitment consultant, you’re the vital link between clients and candidates. The role is demanding, diverse and involves:

• using sales, business development, marketing techniques and networking to attract business from client companies.
• visiting clients to build and develop positive relationships with them.
• developing a good understanding of client companies, their industry, what they do, their work culture and environment.
• using social media to advertise positions, attract candidates and build relationships.
• headhunting – identifying and approaching suitable candidates who may already be in work.
• using candidate databases to match the right person to the client’s vacancy.
• receiving and reviewing applications, managing interviews and tests, and creating a shortlist of candidates for the client
• requesting references and checking the suitability of applicants before submitting their details to the client

• informing candidates about the results of their interviews
• negotiating pay and salary rates and finalising arrangements between client and candidates
