Junior to Senior | Social Work Recruitment | Leaders in Care | Manchester
A lot of agencies can claim they nurture excellent recruiters, fortuately we've got the track record to back it up.
Our contract division consistently produces the majority of the business's top performers, with our social work team at the heart of that success.
We're now looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our social work team, supporting children's and adults' services across the UK.
You don't need years of experience or an established book of business. You need the right attitude, a willingness to learn and the drive to succeed.
We've got the market, the experience and the environment to help you become a top performer.
Why join us? Social work was the founding team of our contract division six years ago. Since then, the division has broken every company record, won multiple Team of the Year awards and seen consultants achieve three promotions in a single year.
Our social work market has consistently ranked among the three highest-performing desks in the business, and every one of the company's record-breaking consultants is part of this team.
You'll be working alongside people who know how to win business, build successful desks and turn opportunities into consistent billings.
The opportunity
You'll join an established market with existing client relationships, a strong reputation and colleagues who know it inside out.
We operate off-framework, building direct relationships with local authorities and winning business through the quality of our service.
Business development is a big part of what we do. You'll be picking up the phone, opening doors, developing relationships and helping essential services find the practitioners they need.
You won't be expected to know everything from day one. You'll have experienced consultants around you to help you develop your approach, understand the market and turn conversations into placements.
Who we're looking for
Ideally, you'll have some recruitment experience and understand the fundamentals of running a desk.
Social work or contract recruitment experience would be an advantage, but neither is essential. We're equally interested in consultants from other markets who have the ambition and commercial mindset to succeed.
We're looking for someone who:
- Enjoys business development and building client relationships.
- Is competitive, commercially minded and motivated by results.
- Wants to learn from experienced, consistently high-performing consultants.
- Values high standards, honest feedback and clear expectations.
- Has the ambition to progress and is prepared to put the work in.
The environment
We take performance seriously, but that doesn't mean making recruitment unnecessarily complicated.
High standards, clear expectations and leadership that leads from the front. No admin for the sake of admin, and no pointless KPIs that reward activity without results.
You'll have the training, technology and support to succeed, alongside the autonomy to develop your own approach as your experience grows.
Our refurbished office is in Ancoats/Northern Quarter, surrounded by some of Manchester's best coffee shops, restaurants and bars, with excellent transport links.
What you'll get
- Competitive salary dependent on experience.
- Commission with no thresholds.
- Quarterly growth bonuses.
- Quarterly achievers events.
- Company holidays.
- Clear progression from Consultant through to Principal and leadership.
- 24 days annual leave, plus time off between Christmas and New Year.
- Star Days for overperformance.
- Gym flexitime.
We've had consultants join us, outperform their previous best and progress faster than they expected.
We're looking for someone who wants to do the same.
