About the role:
We're looking for someone who's ready to learn, who is full of energy and enthusiasm. You'll be focused on identifying those special candidates our clients rely on us to find. You will:

We're a close-knit team, from recent graduates through to experienced Consultants, with backgrounds in sales, events and recruitment. We put great value in collaborative working and encourage our Consultants to cross sell and share candidates, for which we also offer incentives.
As a Trainee Consultant, you'll work in close partnership with the Directors and other Consultants in your area. You will be well supported by our two Directors who both have a decade in the industry and have studied, volunteered and worked in the wider Health, Safety Environment space.
What we're looking for
Most import to us is your desire to learn and your determination to grow and succeed. It's all about who you are. Our reputation has been built on in-depth industry knowledge and finding those candidates who add unexpected value. That's why world-famous clients rely on us. But we're a team, and we'll be there to help you, every step of the way.
You'll need:
Tenacity, excellent organisational skills and a great work ethic
Sales experience would be beneficial, however the right attitude and personality is more important to us
A degree or equivalent vocational qualification would be ideal
The desire to learn, commit to our proven training methodology Our expectations
We'll give you all the time you need, to settle in and get to grips with the technology, and how we work. We'll also help you understand the industry. Everyone is different so we make sure your development path is tailored to you. What matters most to us is that you show determination and commitment, and stick to our values.
How we'll support you
We invest heavily in the latest technology, so you'll have 'best-in-class' tools and systems to help identify the highest-calibre candidates. Our Bullhorn CRM system is easy to use, while you can access Broadbean to post all your ads, across specialist and generalist publications, at once and easily manage responses. The recently-updated Irwin Colton website is a fantastic tool that's mobile and SEO optimised for maximum effectiveness. And you'll have Professional LinkedIn Membership.
Real expertise you can bank on
Our assertion of deep, respected market knowledge is no spurious claim. Our popular Safety Bytes videos, where industry leaders regularly appear, demonstrate our knowledge and reputation. In a crowded marketplace, where great service is standard, true market insight is a valuable commodity and our Safety Bytes series, with over 10,000 regular viewers sets us apart as the true industry experts.
Your manager
You'll be working directly with one of the Directors. They have a friendly, hands-on approach, although are respectful of experience and skills learnt elsewhere. You can always come and talk to one of the Directors if you need to, whether that's to bounce ideas or if something's wrong.
