You work in recruitment, you know how tough the job can be. Spinning lots of different plates, regularly putting out fires, with good days, bad days and amazing days I get it. Im a recruiter too.
Ill never be hands:off here; I love it too much. Ill be with you in the trenches. Ill be doing BD with you, Ill be resourcing a job until I physically cant do anything more. I love it. I need you to love it too.
What will you be doing?
Lets not beat around the bush. This will be a 360 role. Youll find the jobs and fill them.
Youll have access to job boards, our database, our current clients (upselling), LinkedIn. Youll have everything you need to do the job but the rest, thats on you.
Recruitment is a simple thing, but crikey it s tough, testing and rewarding all at the same time. You ll want to be incentivised. That s one of the reasons we do this crazy job isn t it? Everyone is on the same commission structure here and it isnt changing Ever. You bill above your threshold and youll get 15 on everything from GBP 5:10k and then 20 on everything above GBP 10k and 30 above GBP 20k.
We offer hybrid working, with 2/3 days a week in our office in Quedgeley, Gloucester and the rest being able to be worked from home. We are ideally looking for someone full time, however if you are an experienced recruiter looking for a part time role, it is still worth you picking up that phone
So who are we?
Well, the business is 9 years old. Built on 20 years experience of recruiting in the insurance industry. We do alright. We are recognised in the industry, highly thought of, seriously connected and definitely one of the go:to agencies out there, despite our small size in comparison to the competition
As a business, we very much believe its quality over quantity.
You ll be the 4th person in the business. We are small but mighty.
We recruit right across the insurance sector. (It s more buoyant than you d think) as well as the commercial and industrial markets too.
The vision for you (well we have 3 possibilities) We are looking for someone to come in and take over a small existing claims recruitment desk. This desk has a few clients already but we are looking for someone ambitious who wants to come on board to grow this area of the business, with the opportunity if successful to grow a team of your own. We are also keen to speak to you if you are already an insurance recruiter, recruiting into the broking or underwriting space, and looking for a change and finally we would also consider those who want to come on board and set up a new desk in a new sector (away from Insurance) and are open to what this may be as it will all be dependant on you
What do you need to bring to the table?
Honestly, you HAVE to be a decent person and love recruitment.
Love the ups and downs, love the involvement you have with client s growth plans and the instrumental impact you have on peoples lives when you find them their next role. It s not bums on seats, its making sht happen for people.
You ll have to be a phone:first type of recruiter though. You know what I mean, you see a job advertised or you get a hot lead and you ve done something with it, and you ve picked up the phone and had a conversation with somebody. Not just Yeah, I ve sent an email
Oh, and a decent track record of billing consistently.
Anyway, if you ve got this far, and you think youd fit in well, we should probably be setting up a chat. It will be about you, what you are looking for and if CKB Recruitment fits around that. Don t worry about not having a CV you don t need any of that to have a chat. Show us you re a phone:first recruiter. Give Kieran Boyle (MD) a call.
