Candidate Manager / Trainee Recruitment Consultant
Spring Supply Chain
We're looking for someone who enjoys talking to people, loves learning and isn't afraid to pick up the phone.
No recruitment experience? That's absolutely fine.
What matters most is your attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn.
Who are we?
Spring is a specialist recruitment business that works exclusively within the logistics and supply chain industry.
We help businesses hire professionals for management, commercial and leadership positions across the UK. Most of our work involves finding and engaging people who aren't actively applying for jobs, which means we spend a lot of time building relationships, understanding careers and helping people make the right move.
We're a small, ambitious business that believes in doing things properly. We focus on quality, relationships and delivering a great experience for the people we work with.
What will you actually do?
At its core, this role is all about people.
You'll spend your time finding great candidates, speaking to them about their careers, building relationships and helping them through recruitment processes.
Some days you'll be searching LinkedIn and other platforms to identify talent. Other days you'll be on the phone learning about someone's career journey, discussing opportunities or preparing them for interviews.
You'll become an expert in your market and build a network of people who know and trust you.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Finding and engaging candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals and networking
- Speaking to candidates about their experience, goals and career plans
- Building long-term relationships with professionals in your market
- Managing applications and advertising vacancies
- Preparing CVs and candidate profiles - using AI formatting tools
- Arranging interviews and supporting candidates through the process
- Keeping our database organised and up to date
- Working closely with clients and consultants to deliver successful recruitment projects
For those who want it, there's a pathway into a full Recruitment Consultant role. If your strengths are more relationship and delivery focused, there are progression opportunities in that direction too.
You'll probably enjoy this role if you:
- Like talking to people
- Are naturally curious and ask lots of questions
- Enjoy learning new things
- Are organised and good at managing multiple tasks
- Have strong attention to detail
- Can bounce back when things don't go your way
- Enjoy working towards goals
- Like being part of a team but can also work independently
- Aren't afraid to challenge ideas or share your opinion
- £26,000 - £28,000 basic salary
- Uncapped commission
- Realistic Year 1 earnings of £35,000+
- Structured training and development
- Clear progression pathway with regular pay reviews
- Hybrid working once training is complete and you're fully up to speed
- 22 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing to 28 days as you progress through our Career Path
- Early finish every Friday (3pm) when targets are achieved (37.5-39 hours a week)
- Modern office at Exchange Quay, right next to the tram stop
- Free gym and classes on site
Many people joining this type of role can progress into a Senior Recruitment Consultant position within 12-18 months, with earnings of £45,000-£50,000+.
Longer term, there are opportunities to progress into leadership and director-level positions.
