Trainee Recruitment Consultant - Edenbrook : Job Details

Associate Recruitment Consultant

Edenbrook is a rapidly growing insurance and investment management recruitment business. We headhunt across all job functions from junior to senior level recruiting in the UK, USA, Middle East, Asia and Europe.

We are an established, successful headhunting organisation with an enviable reputation for providing high calibre candidates to our clients in a wide range of industry sectors.

We are currently looking to expand our delivery team, with this in mind we are looking for a driven and enthusiastic, high-level communicator.

The role will involve filling vacancies generated by a separate consulting team, so it is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to begin their recruitment/headhunting without the pressure of new business sales targets.

Duties to include:

• Mapping industries and companies through telephone research
• Networking across market places
• Internet research using social media and business networking sites
• Approaching candidates in relation to specific roles
• Telephone interviewing
• Communicating with senior level executives
• Identifying and following up sales leads
• Producing written reports
• As you progress:
• Interviewing senior level candidates face to face
• Preparing client pitches and being part of the bid team

You will need:

• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Excellent telephone manner
• A high level of confidence, motivation and resilience

Experience in a telephone based role would help but we are willing to take raw graduates or people looking to change career on a trainee basis, as long as you are highly organised and confident communicating at all levels, with bags of enthusiasm and motivation.

We are an excellent company to work for and believe in rewarding performance. On top of the normal commission scheme there are monthly incentives and end of year prizes. We continually look to invest in our people and have a strong emphasis on training and development

We are close knit team and enjoy socialising together. We have a strong team of core people who have all been with us for some time, we do not have a "hire ’em, fire 'em" culture and we believe in investing in people for the future.
