Junior Recruitment Consultant

Recruitment Consultant

As a Recruitment Consultant at Davies Talent Solutions, you will support specialist temporary and contract recruitment across a wide range of external clients, predominantly in the Insurance & Financial Services industries. This role is considered a 180-recruitment role, meaning you will be responsible for candidate generation and delivery in the first instance.

While you will partake in client meetings and shadow Senior Consultants on negotiations, you will not be responsible for proactive business development or client account growth until you have mastered the candidate delivery side of your role.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in consultative sales, with a genuine interest in supporting job seekers and clients. The role can be based in London or Brighton, and requires office attendance at least 2 days per week.

Responsibilities

• Source, build, and develop strong candidate pipelines through multiple channels, including networking, proactive outreach on LinkedIn, role advertisements, and referral schemes.
• Work alongside colleagues to understand and sell client requirements and elevator pitches to relevant candidates.
• Use active listening to understand candidate strengths and opportunities, and to articulate these to clients and colleagues.
• Coach and advise candidates on resume writing, interviewing, and skills testing.
• Continuously build market knowledge and share relevant information with the wider team.
• Develop knowledge of the wider consulting business areas.

Requirements

• Some customer-facing work experience required; previous recruitment experience is advantageous.
• Highly motivated to deliver high-quality outcomes for candidates, clients, and the wider Davies Consulting team.
• Motivated by achieving and exceeding targets and KPIs.
• Confident communicator with strong active listening skills.
• Resilient and tenacious in the face of rejection.
• Curious and eager to continuously learn and improve sales, time, and relationship management skills.
• Comfortable working autonomously and independently while still working toward team goals and objectives.
• Ability to be based in, or travel to Brighton (at least twice monthly).
