My client, an established Birmingham/Solihull based search firm is looking to add to its research team. My client specialises in senior retained only work, and its team of consultants is supported by a central research team. The research team looks for candidates and works with the consultants to help fill the vacancies. Two opportunities exist to join the team due to expansion.

You will need to be interested in developing a career in recruitment. You will need an excellent telephone manner, a strong educational background, maturity and a high level of confidence. Whilst not a direct sales role, you will need sales skills as a lot of the work involved will be contacting candidates regarding opportunities. This role would suit someone who has experience in a role such as telesales, working in the Banking/Retail sector or other customer orientated environment.

This position will not suit people looking for their first job, as a high level of confidence and gravitas will be required. Indeed, the role may well appeal to returning mums, or people with a significant career history as well as 'second jobbers'.

If you are outgoing and enjoy working with people, have a strong telephone manner, then this may suit. Salary will be dependant on experience but is likely to be in the region of £20-£28. Opportunities to progress either within the research team or to move into a consultants role will be merit based, but are abundant.

Full training will be provided in a very grown up and professional environment. As my client works at the senior end of the market, this is a stable and mature team. Experienced researchers are also going to be well suited for the role, the level of which would be adjusted based on previous experience.
