Recruitment Consultant

Job description

As a Principal Consultant, you’ll play a pivotal role in generating new clients and business for RTS. You’ll focus on building strong relationships with senior leaders across some of the largest public sector organizations in the country. This is a consultative, relationship-driven role where your ability to engage and open doors will be key to success.

We’ll support you every step of the way with:

• Full training and onboarding
• Ongoing sales support forums
• A 9-month ‘no threshold’ bonus scheme
• Team bonus incentives
• A clear career path to success

You’ll also have access to the best industry tools and resources, including:

• HubSpot CRM
• Reed’s in-house database of prospect clients
• Specialist LinkedIn access
• Third-party database tools
• A library of case studies and client information

What makes this role different?

This is not a traditional recruitment sales role. While lead generation and business development are important, the emphasis is on relationship building, understanding client needs, and providing tailored solutions.

You’ll start with a light sales focus—primarily generating meetings and learning the sector—before moving into a more consultative approach.

You’ll work closely with our leadership team, and we’ll help you close deals while you learn the ropes. If you’re tenacious, resilient, and great at building rapport, you’ll thrive here.

Who we’re looking for

We want talented individuals with ambition and a collaborative mindset. If you’re eager to propel your career forward and help us make a real impact in the public sector, we’d love to hear from you!

Skills and experience:

• Proven ability to generate new business or leads
• Strong senior stakeholder engagement skills
• Experience in at least one of the following:
• Consultancy or managed services
• Care/SEND/public sector industry
• Resourcing/recruitment (with a consultative approach)
• Tenacity, resilience, and excellent relationship-building skills
