TRAINEE RECRUITERS
Working within the recruitment industry can be both professionally and financially rewarding and can very often lead to a satisfying and lucrative career. Recruitment is a sales role – no matter what one tells you! It is challenging and exciting and no two days are ever the same. The ideal consultant would be tenacious, self motivated, resilient, highly motivated, determined and will hold self believe. A great tip to remember is to treat people the way you would like be treated yourself.
- Preparation is the key.
- Arrive 10-15 minutes early to your interview.
- Create a positive entrance, always smile at the person that welcomes you and
greet them with a firm handshake.
- Always do your research on the business you are going to. Take a note pad
and pen in with you – this shows that you are keen and you have carefully prepared
for your meeting.

- Most of all know about your self so you are able to talk fluently through
your c.v.
- Be clear on all your leaving dates and the reasons why you have left your former
companies.

and KPI’s.
- Sell you self. Talk though all you key attributes.

– tell them you are!
