Recruitment Consultant

Recruitment Consultant / Recruiter | Commercial | Leicester, Leicestershire | £28,000 to £32,000 DOE + uncapped commission

Are you a sales, business development or account management professional who is commercially sharp, a little competitive, and fed up of working hard while someone else decides what you're worth? A move into recruitment could be exactly what you're looking for, and this is a role where your effort lands straight in your own pay packet.

365 People Group is a growing, multi-sector recruitment agency in Leicester. Our Commercial division was built from the ground up just over a year ago and now recruits across commercial, professional services and business support roles right across Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands. We would rather be known as the agency clients trust and consultants enjoy working for than the biggest name in the region.

We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join us and run their own desk.

The Role

You will manage the full 360 recruitment cycle: winning new business, building relationships with clients and candidates, and matching the right people to the right roles. It is a sales-focused role with real ownership, and how far you take it is largely down to you.

Key Responsibilities

• Business development: winning new clients through proactive sales calls and outreach
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and candidates
• Managing the recruitment process end to end, from first call to offer accepted
• Sourcing and qualifying candidates across a range of commercial roles
• Negotiating offers and closing deals
• Working towards and exceeding your individual targets and KPIs

What We Are Looking For

• A background in sales, business development, account management, customer-facing work or recruitment (B2B or B2C) is an advantage, but the right attitude matters more
• A commercially minded, target-driven approach and a genuine desire to earn well
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Resilience and a strong work ethic
• A positive attitude and a willingness to learn

What Is On Offer

• Basic salary of £28,000 to £31,000, depending on experience
• Uncapped commission on permanent placements, with high earning potential
• A two-month minimum commission guarantee while you settle in
• Hands-on coaching and mentoring from an experienced MD and a dedicated Managing Consultant
• 22 days holiday 
• Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 17:00, Friday 08:00 to 16:00, so the weekend starts early
• Clear, performance-based progression, plus incentives, perks and trips abroad

If you are a driven people person with the right transferable skills, a Recruitment Consultant, Recruiter or sales professional who wants to build something and be paid properly for it, apply now with your CV and we will be in touch.
