Transferable skills:
Commercial awareness, negotiation, relationship management
For the right person, this 360 recruitment role offers far more progression than many traditional career paths.

Building relationships with candidates and clients
Having confident commercial conversations
Working in a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment
Matching candidates to suitable roles
Managing multiple priorities professionally
Handling feedback, pressure and rejection positively

A genuine motivation for a career change
Strong people and communication skills
Resilience, confidence and a positive mindset
Willingness to learn, take feedback and push yourself
Comfort working in an office‑based environment while training
If you’re looking for something “easy” or low-pressure, this won’t be the right fit. If you’re looking for growth, challenge, and reward — it might be.
