West Midlands Permanent £23.5K - £25K / Hour
Are you motivated by targets, curious about people and ready to develop a career in sales? Join Boden Group as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, where you’ll learn how to win new business, build strong candidate relationships and connect talented people with career opportunities.
We specialise in recruitment across Facilities Management, with hands-on training and support from experienced consultants to help you develop your market knowledge and recruitment skills.
This is an active, sales-focused role with business development and candidate management at its centre. You’ll spend your time starting conversations, following up opportunities and building relationships, while learning how consistent activity translates into successful placements.
Business development
Research prospective clients and identify businesses that could benefit from our recruitment services.
Contact hiring managers through telephone calls, emails and LinkedIn, building confidence in introducing Boden Group and opening new conversations.
Understand clients’ hiring needs, identify opportunities and arrange meetings for yourself and experienced colleagues.
Follow up leads consistently, using candidate insights and market knowledge to make your approach relevant.
Work towards agreed activity and performance targets, keeping accurate records of conversations and next steps.
Candidate management
Find and engage candidates through job boards, LinkedIn, referrals and our recruitment database.
Speak with candidates to understand their experience, motivations, availability and career ambitions.
Build a network of suitable candidates, maintaining regular contact and keeping their information up to date.
Match candidates to relevant opportunities, prepare them for interviews and provide timely feedback.
Support candidates throughout the recruitment process, from their first conversation through to accepting an offer and starting their new role.
You don’t need previous recruitment experience, but you will need the drive to learn, take feedback and keep going when a conversation doesn’t lead to an immediate result.
We’re looking for someone who:
Enjoys speaking with people and is willing to make proactive outbound calls.
Is motivated by goals and takes ownership of their activity.
Listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions and follows through on commitments.
Can organise their workload and manage several conversations at once.
Brings resilience, curiosity and a positive approach to teamwork.
Experience in sales, customer service, hospitality or another people-focused role would be useful, although it isn’t essential.
You’ll receive hands-on training, structured mentoring and the opportunity to learn from experienced recruitment professionals, with a clear route to develop your expertise and progress as your performance grows.
