The Opportunity

Could you become a top-billing Recruitment Consultant?

You might not know the answer yet and you don't need previous recruitment experience to find out

ITS Property Maintenance are looking for an ambitious, confident and hardworking individual to join our specialist team in Reading as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant

We're not expecting you to arrive as a finished recruiter

We're looking for the raw ingredients; personality, confidence, communication skills, competitiveness, resilience, ambition and a genuine willingness to learn

We'll teach you the recruitment part

You'll receive hands-on training and mentoring from experienced and successful recruitment professionals who will show you how to develop those raw skills into the ability to win clients, recruit candidates, generate revenue and build your own successful recruitment desk

There is no shortcut, though;

* Recruitment rewards people who are prepared to work hard, make the calls, learn from setbacks, follow up opportunities and consistently put the effort in

* Put the two together; our training and support + your hard work and ambition and there is a genuine opportunity to build an extremely successful and financially rewarding career

Why ITS Property Maintenance?

One of the biggest advantages of joining ITS Property Maintenance is the experience you'll have around you

You'll be trained and supported by experienced, successful and top-billing recruitment professionals, including working directly alongside an industry-leading consultant with over 20 years' experience setting up and running Social Housing Maintenance recruitment divisions and teams

That experience includes previously building a specialist recruitment business within this market to multi-million-pound annual turnover

You'll therefore be learning from people who understand not only how to recruit, but how to build a desk, develop a market, win clients and turn recruitment activity into sustainable revenue

We'll give you the knowledge, tools, coaching and support

What we can't give you is the hunger to use them

What Will You Be Recruiting?

You'll be trained to recruit across our specialist Property Maintenance and Social Housing division, supplying both temporary and permanent staff.

What Will You Learn?

Recruitment is effectively about building your own business within a business.

We'll train you from the ground up in how to:

* Identify and approach prospective clients

* Make confident B2B sales calls and build relationships with decision-makers

* Research companies, contracts and new business opportunities

* Source, interview and qualify candidates

* Advertise vacancies and search CV databases

* Match and market candidates to clients

* Negotiate rates and manage interviews and job offers

* Look after temporary workers and develop client accounts

* Generate referrals and new opportunities

* Build a profitable recruitment desk of your own

What Do You Need to Bring?

* We're far more interested in your potential and attitude than whether you've worked in recruitment before

* You may currently work in sales, customer service, hospitality, retail, account management, estate agency, automotive sales, sport/leisure or another target-driven environment or simply be looking for your first serious career opportunity

* What matters is that you're ambitious, confident with people, resilient, competitive, hardworking and willing to learn

We won't pretend recruitment is easy

You'll hear no. Candidates will sometimes let you down. Clients…
