About Gemini PeopleGemini People is a growing recruitment business with ambitious plans for expansion across the Midlands and beyond.
As part of that expansion, we are looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our Leicester office and build a brand-new industrial recruitment desk from the ground up.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to develop a career in recruitment, sales and business development. You don’t need previous recruitment experience — we’re looking for the right attitude, ambition and willingness to learn.
THE ROLEThis is a start-up desk position, meaning you’ll be given the opportunity to develop your own client portfolio and candidate database within our Industrial Division.
Your focus will initially be heavily sales and business development based.
You’ll be responsible for identifying businesses across Leicester and Leicestershire that require warehouse and industrial staffing solutions, opening conversations with decision-makers and developing those relationships into long-term recruitment partnerships.
As your client base grows, your role will develop into a full 360 recruitment position, managing both the client relationship and candidate delivery.
Initially, you’ll be focused on:*Identifying and prospecting new warehouse and industrial businesses
*Making outbound calls and developing new business opportunities
*Building your own client database
*Speaking with business owners, HR teams and operational managers
*Understanding client staffing requirements
*Introducing Gemini People and our recruitment services
*Arranging client meetings and developing commercial relationships
*Winning new temporary recruitment contracts
*Maintaining regular contact with prospective clients
*Using CRM systems to manage your pipeline and activity
*Working towards agreed sales and business development targets
AS THE DESK DEVELOPSOnce you have established your client portfolio, you will gradually take responsibility for the full recruitment cycle, including:
*Taking job requirements from clients
*Advertising vacancies
*Sourcing suitable candidates
*Interviewing and registering candidates
*Managing candidate compliance
*Coordinating placements
*Managing temporary workers throughout their assignments
*Maintaining client relationships
*Growing existing accounts
*Identifying additional recruitment opportunities
*Building a profitable and sustainable recruitment desk
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FORWe’re not necessarily looking for someone who has recruitment experience.
We’re looking for someone who is:
*Ambitious and wants to build a successful career
*Confident speaking to businesses and decision-makers
*Comfortable making outbound sales calls
*Competitive and motivated by targets
*Resilient and able to handle rejection
*Organised and able to manage multiple priorities
*A strong communicator
*Proactive and willing to take ownership
*Commercially minded
*A genuine team player
*Hungry to learn and develop
Previous experience in sales, telesales, business development, recruitment, customer service or a target-driven environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.
