The role of the Recruitment Consultant

Quality recruitment is not about ticking boxes, it’s about solving problems. And because every job and workplace is different, one size doesn’t fit all. Our recruitment methodology is tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We take this into consideration to provide highly specialised recruitment solutions based on industry experience, cultural fit and skillset. That’s where you come in.

Skills we look for

We use psychometric testing to help us understand your abilities and natural talents, giving us an insight into how well suited you are for a particular role. Basically, it helps us to know if you have the skillsets that fit with what we need and how we work.

Negotiation

Negotiating is a big part of your role as a consultant. It’s how you get the best result for everyone.

Communication

At its core, recruitment is about people. Communicate with purpose both in person and in your writing.

Goal-orientated/Competitive

Are you motivated by achieving goals? Embrace your competitive nature – this is your chance to shine.

Independent thinker

We’re firm believers in the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. We’re a united team of independent thinkers.

Leadership

Own your knowledge, skills and achievements, and lead with confidence.

Emotional intelligence/Assertiveness

You know how to read people and use it to your advantage.
