360 Recruitment Consultant

Company Description

Horizon Resourcing is a growing specialist recruitment company providing temporary and permanent staffing solutions across the veterinary, healthcare and social care sectors.

We believe successful recruitment is built on genuine relationships, sector knowledge and a clear understanding of what each client needs. Our approach is consultative, responsive and commercially focused, allowing us to build long-term partnerships rather than simply fill individual vacancies.

Our consultants are supported by a dedicated delivery team that manages candidate sourcing, engagement and pipeline development. This structure enables our consultants to concentrate on building client relationships, developing new business and turning opportunities into successful placements.

Role Description

We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our team in Ipswich on a full-time, office-based basis.

This is primarily a client-focused and business-development role. Unlike a traditional 360 recruitment position, you will not be expected to source your own candidates. Our dedicated delivery team is responsible for identifying, engaging and qualifying suitable professionals, giving you more time to focus on clients, vacancies and placements.

Your main responsibility will be to develop relationships with new and existing clients, understand their staffing requirements and secure temporary and permanent recruitment opportunities. You will then work closely with our delivery team to match suitable candidates to those roles and manage the process through to a successful placement.

Key Responsibilities

* Building and maintaining strong relationships with new and existing clients

* Developing new business through outbound calls, emails, meetings and networking

* Identifying staffing requirements and securing new vacancies

* Taking detailed and accurate job briefs from clients

* Advising clients on candidate availability, market conditions, pay rates and recruitment strategies

* Working closely with the delivery team to identify suitable candidates for each vacancy

* Presenting candidates to clients and coordinating interviews, feedback and offers

* Negotiating rates and terms while protecting commercial margins

* Managing placements from initial vacancy through to confirmation and aftercare

* Maintaining accurate records of client activity, vacancies and placements within the recruitment system

* Achieving agreed activity, revenue and placement targets

* Representing Horizon Resourcing professionally at client meetings and industry events

About You

We are looking for someone who is confident, commercially minded and comfortable developing relationships over the telephone, by email and in person.

You should have:

* Strong communication and relationship-building skills

* Confidence in approaching prospective clients and developing new business

* A proactive, resilient and results-focused attitude

* The ability to understand client requirements and turn them into recruitment opportunities

* Strong organisation and attention to detail

* The ability to manage multiple vacancies and priorities in a fast-paced environment

* Confidence using CRM systems, LinkedIn and standard office software

* The ability to work collaboratively with a dedicated candidate delivery team

Previous recruitment, sales, account management or business-development experience would be beneficial, but we are equally interested in individuals with the right attitude, commercial awareness and willingness to learn.

Why Join Horizon Resourcing?

* A dedicated delivery team responsible for candidate sourcing

* A Generous commission scheme, earn up to 30% of your billings + Bonuses

* More time to focus on client relationships, business development and placements

* The opportunity to develop a specialist market and build a successful client portfolio

* A supportive, collaborative team environment

* Modern recruitment systems and established candidate pipelines

* Clear opportunities to grow alongside an ambitious recruitment business

If you are commercially driven, enjoy building relationships and want a recruitment role where you can focus on developing clients and making placements, we would like to hear from you.
