5 Reasons to get into Recruitment

Money - As a recruitment consultant working for a reputable recruitment consultancy, you will be provided with a substantial and uncapped commission structure, allowing you to earn the money you deserve in accordance with the results you deliver. You can realistically expect to earn 40k in your first year progressing to in excess of 80k in your third year.

Training ? As a trainee, you will often be assigned to a senior consultant who will act as your mentor, and will guide you through the recruitment process and will be targeted on your successful development. Your training will be provided by experts in your specialist market and will continue throughout your career, allowing you to reach your potential.

Career Progression ? Unlike many graduate schemes, all that you achieve working in recruitment is easily measurable and quickly acknowledged, allowing the most successful consultants to progress to Managerial level and beyond as rapidly as they deserve. It is possible to head up your own team inside just two years.

The role - Recruitment is unique to any other sales roles in the sense that you are selling a person as opposed to a product. As no two people are ever the same, the role of a recruitment consultant is consistently challenging, as your success will be dependent upon your ability to build and maintain excellent relationships with your candidates, help them develop their strengths and understand their unique requirements.

Entrepreneurial - In addition to finding your own candidates, you will also need to win over new clients, which will often involve negotiating with Managing Directors and CEO's, and you will enjoy the satisfaction obtained from successfully developing your own desk.

You need to join the right company in order to benefit from all of the above. At Drummond Graduates, we have spent several years researching and developing partnerships with some of the most reputable and prestigious recruitment consultancies in the UK, all of which will provide you with all you will need to build a successful career.
