London, Greater London, United Kingdom Hays Human Resources Full time
Your new company
Hays HR is the UK's largest specialist recruiter with over 60 consultants. Last year we successfully recruited 1,440 HR professionals into HR jobs nationally. Within Hays HR, is the London Central Public Sector HR team, based in Cheapside (EC2). This is a well-established and experienced team of three specialist consultants ranging from Recruitment Consultant to Business Director.

We are now looking to recruit an experienced Recruitment Consultant (Senior Recruitment Consultant or above) to join this successful team.

You will specialise in the recruitment of temp and interim HR professionals into a variety of public sector organisations. This desk has incredible potential, with anticipated billings between £300k-£350k per annum.

This is an exciting opportunity to interact and deliver recruitment services to existing clients, and through your own commercial awareness and drive, deliver targeted and strategic business development.

There is a vast opportunity to grow our market share across the sector, and we anticipate consistent fee growth and client wins.

The benefit of working within this well-established team is you will be collaborating with high-performing individuals, who are truly specialists in their sectors and industries and have an impeccable reputation.

This presents a wonderful environment for the right individual to make an impact quickly on their own desk, and be financially rewarded.

Your new role

As a specialist HR recruiter into the Public Sector, you will become a subject-matter expert in Human Resources and the various components that make up the discipline, including recruitment, learning & development, HR transformation & change, HR Systems, Employee Relations, and many more.

Experience with HR recruitment isn't essential as you will receive a wealth of training in these areas and benefit from the support of highly experienced managers in your office, as well as specialist technical support from our National Specialism Director, and your Director, who will share their 15+ years experience in the specialism.

An ability to learn quickly will be important as you will be expected to recruit successfully in these areas from HR Administrator level to HR Director almost immediately.

Your client base will vary, and you will partner with Public Sector organisations across London.

You will benefit from existing client relationships, but the expectation is that you will also be very proactive and strategic in your business development activities.

Business Development is key to being successful in this position and a large portion of your time will be spent reaching out to sell our recruitment services to new clients, both in meetings and virtually.

Your candidates are also of the utmost importance - in a skill-short market you must demonstrate innovative ways of attracting the best HR talent and provide an outstanding service in introducing them to suitable employers, managing the candidates' experience from initial contract through to appointment and post-start support.

In summary, your role will be an equal split of candidate engagement and client engagement activity.

Your objectives will be based around three key strategic themes:

be visible and build relationships in HR, convert candidate relationships into client relationships, and have a reputation for being a true HR recruitment experience in your market.

What you'll need to succeed

Above all, you should have a strong work ethic where you are motivated and enthusiastic about progressing your career in recruitment.

Prior recruitment experience is necessary (management experience is desirable, but not essential), and you will be prepared to work hard, strive to achieve targets, and have an interest in and ability to thrive within a corporate environment.

You will be naturally inquisitive to help build your market knowledge and build strong business relationships.

You will be ambitious, driven to progress your career and have strong sales skills, with the ability to consult and advise both clients and candidates.

To do all of this you will need excellent interpersonal skills with the passion to achieve results.
What you'll get in return
At Hays, we know that recruitment can be demanding and competitive.

However, as the market leader, Hays offers you the best training in the industry to support you in your development from Manager, Senior Manager and beyond.

You will receive classroom training and on-the-job coaching from highly knowledgeable consultants, which will enable you to develop a lasting and successful career.

We believe in recognising success, so not only do we promote from within, but you will be rewarded with uncapped commission and unrivalled incentives and benefits.
