Principal Recruitment Consultant
About the Job
As Principal Recruitment Consultant, you will be a fundamental addition to the Stafffinders team so we’re looking for someone with the determination to elevate their career to the next level. To succeed in this role, you should be outgoing, adaptable to different individuals, and willing to pick up the phone and get out and meet people. Alongside this, you should have a desire to nurture and develop your team of Recruitment Consultants and Junior members to create a robust and successful team.
Whether your background is in Commercial, Industrial, IT or another recruitment sector, you could be just what we are looking for. We are very much open-minded.
You may be a Recruitment Consultant who enjoys seeing team members in your division smash their targets and wants to guide and mentor more junior members of staff. As a great leader, you can progress from Principal Recruitment Consultant to Recruitment Divisional Manager and manage your own team. Or, you may prefer to look after your own desk and focus on pushing yourself to success. If so, you can progress from Principal Recruitment Consultant to Recruitment Business Manager.
We understand that some excellent recruiters are making a return to work or are looking for the flexibility of part-time work. This is something Stafffinders are always open to and would be happy to discuss your availability with you.
