What’s the role of a recruitment consultant?
The role of the recruitment consultant is fast-paced, demanding and diverse. It’s also very challenging and exciting and no two days are ever the same. The role involves attracting business from client companies by using sales, business development and marketing techniques. This includes building relationships with clients by going out and meeting them, keeping in touch over the phone and in writing. It involves getting to know the client companies, what they do, how they operate and the general culture or atmosphere of the workplace. An important attribute for a recruitment consultant is the confidence to contact prospective clients and win their business. Recruitment consultants are required to attract candidates by drafting advertising and using a wide range of media. It also involves screening candidates, interviewing them and selecting suitable candidates to put forward to client companies. Recruitment consultants are involved in negotiating pay and salary rates and finalising arrangements between client and candidate. The sense of satisfaction you receive from placing the right candidate in the right job can be significant.
