Recruitment Consultant (Entry Level) - London

Take control of your financial and personal ambitions immediately with a career in Sales and Recruitment with Empiric.

The Opportunity

We have two positions for aspiring Entry-Level Recruitment Consultants to join our company's two highest-performing divisions.

The role of a Recruitment Consultant is highly rewarding.

Financially, your first-year on-target earnings would be £40K, and we have plenty of examples of people earning six figures within a few short years. There is no reason you could not achieve the same. Beyond the financial incentives, the various projects and tasks involved in the role will give you valuable experience and skills in everything from sales and negotiation to communication and marketing. We will also enter you onto our Career Pathway plan on day one, which can take you as far as the Board of Directors based on clear and transparent promotion criteria.

Success in this role is genuinely life-accelerating.

To Be Successful

With an award-winning Learning and Development platform and a team of Leaders that includes some of the top-performing individuals in our industry, we can give you all the skills and knowledge you need to succeed. We will also ensure you are heavily incentivised to perform at your best.

We will teach you how to fulfil all aspects of your role:

• Win customers who require help finding incredibly rare talent to help their business.
• Network and develop relationships with candidates who have these rare skills.
• Successfully manage the recruitment process from presenting a CV to arranging and coaching your candidates through interviews and securing and negotiating offers of employment.
• Become a celebrity in your market through your own personal brand.
• Develop excellent communication, sales, negotiation, marketing and business skills.

All you need to bring is the correct attitude and effort.

The job is highly rewarding, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. You will face genuine tests of your resilience and real challenges and spend much time learning the hard way. Only with real tenacity, positivity, and drive will you be able to take full advantage of the opportunity. To succeed, you will also need to be curious, and specifically for Empiric, you will need to be a team player.

If this sounds like you, you may have the character and personality to take full advantage of this opportunity.

Who We Are

Empiric is an award-winning* technology recruitment company. Our success is built on the platform we provide for our people to flourish (*Think five consecutive years as a Sunday Times Fast Track 100 UK Company and #1 Best Mid-Sized Company to Work For as examples. We have more but want to appear humble).

The approach is simple: give brilliant people the tools, support, and freedom to go and be brilliant. You are in recruitment to achieve your financial, career and personal goals, and at Empiric, we will be with you on every rapid step of that journey. No speed cameras.

Our Commitment to Helping You Achieve Your Aspirations:

Financial Aspirations

We know that, above all else, being a successful Recruiter is a path to financial freedom. That is why our approach puts personal financial rewards front and centre:

• We are positioned at the very top of the specialist IT Recruitment market. Our margins, as well as the average salaries and rates of the individuals we place, reflect that. Specialist Recruiters earn more.
• There is no such thing as a ‘Soft Landing’ in Recruitment. But with almost twenty years in our market, hundreds of paying customers, many of whom are blue chip, international businesses, and guaranteed jobs to work on day one, there are harder places for you to start your recruitment career.
• Placements are how you make money, so we spend heavily on giving you the Tools to make as many of them as possible. As standard, you will get – LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Talent Insights, LinkedIn Adverts, access to multiple Job Boards, Lusha, Ebsta, Daxtra and Salesforce. We will always invest in ways to make your job easier.
• We have a sizeable and passionate Operations & Marketing Team. They aim to ‘clear the runway’ for you so that you can fly. With less ‘Admin’ comes more time to do what you are best at.
• And once you make placements, we will pay you more for completing those placements than you would receive at any comparable Recruitment Business. We have no threshold, and our commission scheme acceleratesquickly to 35%.

Career Aspirations

As well as ownership over your earnings, we want you to have ownership over your career. And True Career Ownership looks like having the Skills, Knowledge, and Opportunity to turn your work into what you want it to be. At Empiric that means:

• Clear, transparent, and uniform Promotion Criteria open to all. We don’t promote on Tenure; we promote on Performance. And due to our mentality of ‘unlimited growth’, there is never a wait to take up a position you have rightfully earned.
• ‘Market Leading L&D’ gets thrown out a lot in Recruitment Consultant Job Adverts. But with 1 full-time member of our Learning & Development Team for every 20 Recruitment Consultants, you can judge us on our actions, not our words. Think bespoke, embedded and forward-thinking learning each day.
• Great people become great by being surrounded by great people. Daily, you will work with Recruitment Professionals recognised across our industry as some of the best.
• Our entire Personal Development Programme is designed to make you the best version of yourself, not just the best Recruiter you can be.

Personal Aspirations

We are a group of like-minded, high-performing individuals. But we are also all wonderfully unique. Whatever your hobbies, interests or passions, at Empiric, you will find a vehicle to pursue the things that matter to you:

• As we operate in over 40 countries and have six offices across Europe and the USA, we support our people in travelling, working, and even relocating fully to the places they want to be. You could join an existing team or even break out to create office number seven.
• Social Enterprise and Charity Work is more important now than ever. We are proud to support our people in supporting the causes that matter to them. We would be equally proud to support you in causes that matter to you.
• We cannot complete your Bucket List for you, but we may be able to help. We run once-in-a-lifetime Holiday Incentives multiple times each year (work that one out). We also regularly take our team out for incredible dining experiences or trips to major sporting events each month. Think Mexico, think Royal Ascot and think many, many Michelin Stars along the way.
• Along with incredible experiences throughout the year, our End of Year Awards allow us to present tailored and truly special gifts to our most successful teammates. Only you can tell us what your special gift will be when the time comes!

We are always oversubscribed for every Entry Level opportunity in the business. To avoid disappointment, please apply immediately if you feel sufficiently excited about everything you have just read.
