A guide to recruitment jobs

Every leading recruiter requires specialists in the various sectors in which they recruit so that they can make an impact in that market. The recruiter needs these specialists to build a relationship with their clients to understand their resourcing needs, whether internal or external. They also need to connect with their candidates to find out what sort of jobs they’re after. So if you’re thinking about recruitment jobs then speak to us.
 
Michael Page has been helping shape successful recruitment careers and supporting companies build better businesses for over 40 years. We specialise in the recruitment of permanent, temporary and interim professionals and our workforce of over 220 specialist recruitment consultants, operate from 28 office locations in the UK. This gives us complete coverage and enables us to better match clients and candidates.
 

Recruitment jobs that we recruit for

  • Recruitment administrator
  • In-house recruitment manager
  • Recruitment advisor
  • Recruitment consultant
  • Recruitment Partner
  • Talent attraction specialist
  • Recruitment officer
  • Recruitment manager
 
For a job in recruitment you’ll be expected to work towards exceeding targets. You’ll have to prepare CVs, and use databases to match the candidate to the right client. Build relationships with clients and candidates, use adverts via social media to attract new ones, organise interviews and brief candidates on job roles. You’ll need the ability to multi-task, problem solve, tenacity, self-motivation, and strong negotiation skills.
 
In order to be considered for a recruitment consultant role you’ll need to be enthusiastic and target driven in your approach. You should enjoy the challenge of a fast paced sales environment and fully understand the market that you operate in. 
 

Key tasks

Those in recruitment roles are required to negotiate contracts and headhunt top candidates in order to stay one step ahead of their competitors. Recruiters also interview and assess prospective applicants, go through the process of matching them to the right jobs and from that, draw up a shortlist of the best candidates to interview. Once the successful applicant has been sourced the recruiter will help the applicant all they can and prepare them for interviews while building key relationships with clients.
 

Key skills

The skills required for a recruitment role are varied but most consist of the following.
 
  • Good sales skills because the recruiter needs to sell the candidate to the client.
  • Confidence to push through any deal, and that confidence may also need to be instilled in the candidate ahead of their interview.
  • Energy. A recruiter will need lots of it in order to keep going as they will be looking after plenty of clients.
  • Commercial awareness of the current job market is a necessity.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • The ability to organise time and clients while working in a team.

Qualifications and experience

If you’re not applying for a junior recruitment role then it’s preferable to have prior experience. You’ll need to be a good communicator, have enthusiasm and be able to extract the main selling points of your client.
 
There are no set qualification requirements as such but a good overall level of academic achievement will be advantageous.
