Are you ambitious, commercially driven and motivated by earning potential?

Premier Education is looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our friendly team and work on our Primary desk. It's a billing role on an established warm desk, with existing clients, candidates and business to build on.

Experience in temporary recruitment, ideally within education or a similar market, is preferred. We're looking for someone who understands the pace of a temporary desk, enjoys the commercial side of recruitment and is motivated by making placements and billing.

We're also open to people with an education background who are commercially minded, or candidates with strong sales/business development experience.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is friendly, driven, commercially focused and wants to succeed.

The Role

You'll be responsible for:

Managing and developing an established warm desk
Building relationships with schools and developing new business
Building and managing a strong candidate talent pool
Sourcing, interviewing and registering candidates
Advertising vacancies and marketing candidates
Matching candidates to suitable roles
Negotiating offers and managing placements
Generating billings and working towards individual targets
Growing your desk and maximising your earning potential

Commercially driven and motivated by earning potential
Confident, ambitious and target-focused
Comfortable picking up the phone and developing new business
Resilient and able to handle rejection
Organised and able to manage a busy desk
Proactive, competitive and self-motivated
A strong communicator with a positive can-do attitude

This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to manage candidates. We want someone who wants to build a desk, win business, make placements and bill.

What we offer

£28,000-£35,000 basic salary, depending on experience
Uncapped commission with no threshold
Performance-related pay awards
Established warm desk with existing business
