Trainee Recruiter - Scene
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about Scene. After a first year that exceeded all our expectations (yes even in the face of COVID 19) we’re on the hunt for exceptional trainees to join our rapidly expanding team.
We set up Scene in the summer of 2019 for the same reason most people start a business. We had learned a lot, honed a skill, seen the good and the bad and believed we could have a positive impact and build something better. It has been 18 months and we now work with some of the world’s most exciting companies, helping them build high-performing teams across Sales, Engineering, Product and Regulatory. Many of these companies have global reach and look for a talent partner who can help them with recruitment in multiple jurisdictions. We have supported across the UK, Mainland Europe, the Middle East & Asia, Australia, and the US. Our approach is consultative, partnership led, and we move quickly to secure our clients the best talent.
What do we need ?
We aren’t big on standardised KPI’s and metrics, even for our trainees. We want you to be able to work out what rhythm and style suits you best and we’ll work with that to get the best out of you. You don’t need to have previous recruitment experience to apply however we know that certain characteristics and behaviours make great recruiters – if the below resonates with you, we’d love to talk:
· Work ethic – we work hard and when we say we deliver, we do. This can require late nights and early mornings, but our customers’ needs come first. Talk to us about why hard work comes naturally to you?
· A history of high performance – we want to best in our industry, so we need you to want to be the best too. What results are you proud of, where have you shown the desire to and then ability to, be the best?
· Outstanding communication – do you have the ability to have detailed conversations, listen, understand and construct logical arguments which can influence people? If so, we’ll want to know all about it.
· Relationship building – does this come naturally? Where have you built great, long-lasting relationships with a diverse spectrum of people? Have you done this in a professional setting?
· An interest in business – working in recruitment is about so much more than a decent commission structure. You have the opportunity to learn about the world of work. Like anything, to be great, you’ll need to be passionate about the subject, so we will want to know why the economy, entrepreneurship and business interests you.
· Resilience – moving jobs is an emotional rollercoaster and hiring great people isn’t easy. When you are in the middle of this all day, every day, it can be tough. You will feel the heat and things won’t always go your way. Talk to us about grit and where have you excelled, when others have given up? Do you thrive under pressure / heavy workloads?
· Analytical / intellectual capabilities – we deal with so much information and the ability to decipher what is relevant and what is not, is one of the most important qualities to being a good recruiter – where you have dealt with large quantities of information and delivered?
· Ready to accept feedback and learn – with the right mentality, you’ll come into our 12 month program a novice and come out an expert, but we need people with humility, ready to receive feedback, learn quick and work hard to get better. Is this you?
