Senior Permanent Recruitment Consultant - Office & Commercial

Senior Permanent Recruitment Consultant – Office & Commercial

Maidenhead, Berkshire £32,000 – £40,000 basic + Uncapped Commission Full Time | Permanent

Ready to build a desk that's genuinely yours?

Vanta Staffing is looking for an experienced Permanent Recruitment Consultant to join our established independent recruitment business in Maidenhead.

We're not looking for a trainee and we're not looking for someone who simply wants to service an existing desk.

We're looking for a proven recruiter and biller who knows how to develop relationships, win business, find great candidates and turn opportunities into placements.

Your main focus will be developing our Office & Commercial permanent division across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas.

You'll also have access to permanent opportunities generated through our established Driving and Industrial divisions, together with a smaller element of temporary Office recruitment.

The opportunity

Vanta already has established client relationships, an active candidate database and successful Driving and Industrial divisions.

We now want the right person to take ownership of our Office & Commercial permanent offering and really develop it.

You'll recruit across roles including:

Administration | Customer Service | Finance | HR | Sales | Marketing | PA/EA | Management | Operations | Business Support

You'll also be able to work permanent vacancies across our Driving and Industrial client base, giving you additional opportunities to bill.

This is a 360 recruitment role, so you'll have the freedom and responsibility to develop your own market.

What you'll be doing

You'll manage the complete recruitment process, including:

Developing new business across Bucks, Berks and surrounding areas

Building relationships with existing Vanta clients and identifying additional recruitment opportunities

Winning and taking detailed permanent vacancy briefs

Proactively introducing quality candidates to prospective clients

Sourcing, interviewing and qualifying candidates

Managing client and candidate relationships throughout the recruitment process

Arranging interviews and managing feedback

Negotiating offers and closing placements

Developing repeat business and long-term client relationships

Cross-selling between Office, Driving and Industrial

Managing a smaller Office temporary desk where required

About you

Previous recruitment agency experience is essential.

We're looking for someone who can demonstrate a strong track record within recruitment, particularly permanent placements and business development.

You should be able to show us what you've billed, how you've built your desk and the relationships you've developed.

Office or Commercial recruitment experience would be particularly attractive, but we're happy to consider an experienced recruiter from another sector who has the right local knowledge and proven record.

You'll ideally:

Have at least 3 years' recruitment agency experience

Have a proven permanent recruitment billing record

Be confident developing new business

Be comfortable making calls, arranging client meetings and opening doors

Understand that great recruitment is about relationships, not just posting adverts

Know how to source and engage passive candidates

Be commercially driven and motivated by results

Have strong knowledge of the Berkshire/Buckinghamshire market

Be comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your desk

Want the freedom to develop a division rather than simply inherit somebody else's way of doing things

Why Vanta Staffing?

We're an independent recruitment business, which means decisions can be made quickly and good ideas don't have to go through layers of management.

You'll have the backing of an established business while being given the autonomy to build your desk.

We offer:

£32,000 – £40,000 basic salary, depending on experience and track record

Uncapped commission

Existing Vanta client relationships to develop

Established Driving and Industrial divisions providing cross-selling opportunities

An existing candidate database

Genuine autonomy over your desk

Direct access to the business owners and decision makers

The opportunity to build and grow our Office & Commercial permanent division

Maidenhead office location

Long-term opportunity to develop with the business

This role won't suit everyone.

If you're looking for a role where vacancies simply land on your desk every morning, this probably isn't it.

But if you're an experienced recruiter who enjoys winning business, building relationships, making placements and seeing your billings grow, we'd really like to talk to you.

You may currently be working for a large recruitment group and want more autonomy, or you may already work for an independent agency but feel you've reached the limit of what you can build there.

Either way, if you've got the recruitment track record, we'd like to hear from you.
