Recruitment Consultant | Built Environment | Belfast | Strong Base + Up to 25% Commission
Are you in sales, good on the phone, and know exactly what you billed last quarter? Or are you already a recruiter, ready for a new market and a team that will back you? Either way, I’d like to talk to you.
Vickerstock is a specialist engineering and technical recruitment consultancy, with a head office in Belfast city centre and offices in Dublin and Manchester. Our Built Environment team is growing, and we’re adding a new consultant to cover the construction design market.
When people hear “construction recruitment”, they often think of trades and site labour. That isn’t what we do. We recruit the professionals behind major projects: the people who plan, design, cost and deliver them. That covers everything from data centres and wind farms to schools, hospitals and large residential developments.
If you’re coming from sales, you don’t need recruitment experience, because we’ll teach you that ourselves. If you’re already recruiting in another market, you’ll find this an easy move, with strong client relationships already in place.
Why this opportunity?
- A client base already in place, giving you a running start and real opportunities from day one
- A clear area of focus within the team, so the new clients and relationships you win are yours
- Full in-house training from people who’ve built their own desks in this market, including some who moved into recruitment from sales themselves
- Commission of up to 25% of everything you bill
- A clear route from consultant to senior, with a team that’s growing around you
- A sector with constant demand, covering architecture, building services, data centres and BIM
Your new role as Recruitment Consultant
You’ll work closely with the existing Built Environment team, focusing on the construction design market. That means growing what we already do with our existing clients and winning new business alongside it. To begin with you’ll keep it broad, covering architects, M&E building services and data centre design engineers, and CAD/BIM roles, with a focus on contractors and fit-out firms. As the desk grows, you’ll start to specialise.
Day to day, you’ll develop existing accounts, find and win new clients, take vacancies, then headhunt, interview and place candidates. You’ll negotiate terms and offers, and look after both sides through the process. Most of your success will come from picking up the phone and building relationships that last.
What you will need to succeed
- A track record in B2B or B2C sales, or in recruitment in any sector
- You know your figures and you’re honest about them. Targets, results and where you landed against them
- Confidence on the phone and a willingness to make calls every day
- Drive to earn, and the work ethic to grow accounts and win new ones
- Good organisation and the ability to juggle a busy workload
- An interest in construction or the built environment would help, however we’ll teach you the market
This could suit a salesperson who wants to earn more than their current role allows, or a recruiter on another desk who wants a new market with real growth behind it.
What’s in it for you?
- Strong base salary
- Commission of up to 25% on all billings
- Private medical insurance and life assurance
- Hybrid working once you’ve passed probation
- 35 days holiday
- Monthly one-to-one coaching and full in-house training
- Casual Fridays with a 4:30pm finish, plus social events throughout the year
