Build your recruitment career with Venn Group
At Venn Group, we’re looking for ambitious people who want more than just their next job.
If you have experience working with clients or customers and you’re looking for a commercially rewarding career where you can develop your skills, build relationships and progress through the business, recruitment could be the right next step.
You don’t need previous recruitment experience. We’ll teach you the recruitment industry from the ground up.
Your development starts from day one
You’ll join our Graduate/Consultant Development Training Programme, delivered through a blended learning approach designed to give you the practical skills needed to succeed.
You’ll also be mentored by experienced consultants, including some of our top billers across the company, giving you access to people who have already built successful recruitment careers.
Your development doesn’t stop after your initial training. As you progress, you’ll continue to receive coaching, support and opportunities to develop your commercial and leadership skills.
A career with a clear path
At Venn, progression is based on performance and billing, rather than simply waiting for a vacancy to appear.
High-performing consultants have the opportunity to progress to Senior Consultant within 12 months.
As you progress, your responsibilities, earning potential and opportunities within the business grow with you.
What does a Recruitment Consultant actually do?
The role has two key sides: business development and candidate management.
Business development
*Build relationships with existing and prospective clients
*Network with hiring managers and senior decision-makers
*Identify new business opportunities
*Understand clients’ recruitment challenges
*Win new vacancies and develop existing accounts
*Build long-term client relationships
*Develop expertise within your specialist market
Candidate management
*Source candidates for client vacancies
*Speak with and interview candidates
*Build your own candidate portfolio
*Develop a strong professional network
*Match candidates with suitable opportunities
*Manage the recruitment process through to placement
As your career develops, you’ll build your own client and candidate network and become a specialist within your market.
What we’re looking for
We’re interested in people with client or customer-facing experience who are:
*Ambitious and motivated to progress
*Confident communicators
*Commercially minded
*Resilient and determined
*Comfortable building professional relationships
*Motivated by achieving targets
*Collaborative and willing to support their team
Your previous experience could come from recruitment, sales, estate agency, hospitality, retail, customer service or another client-facing environment.
Recruitment experience isn’t essential.
What you’ll receive
*Uncapped commission
*Monthly commission payments
*Clear, billing-led progression
*Opportunity to reach Senior Consultant within 12 months
*Structured development programme
*Mentoring from high-performing consultants
*Private healthcare after your first year
*Annual leave increasing with service
*2 wellbeing days per year
*2 paid charity days per year
*Discounted gym membership
*Retail discounts
*Employee Assistance Programme
*A genuinely collaborative, team-based environment
Why Venn?
Recruitment can be an extremely individualistic industry. At Venn, we take a different approach.
We’re a team-based business.
Our managers are promoted from within, meaning the people leading our teams understand the journey from Consultant upwards.
You’ll be surrounded by people who want you to succeed, with the opportunity to learn from experienced recruiters while building your own career and earning potential.
If you’re ready to turn your client-facing experience into a long-term career, we’d like to hear from you.
