Sales – Professional Services Edinburgh   £Neg

Are you an experienced sales professional looking for a change in career direction? Have you successfully sold business to business services such as advertising or consultancy? If so, a career in recruitment could be for you.

The role of a recruitment consultant does not suit everyone. You need to be a skilled multi-tasker since there will be many demands on your time and lots of balls to juggle. Hence a high degree of goal orientation is a pre-requisite and you should not be afraid to make yourself heard. You will definitely need to enjoy the sales process … the chase, … (not to mention the rejection) and of course the many victories! Like any other sales jobs it has its ups and downs, the key difference here is that you can really help change some-one’s life for the better, in addition to earning substantial rewards.

Your responsibilities will include proactively managing and developing existing client relationships within the Accountancy sector. This includes identifying opportunities to grow new revenue and to continually attract new business prospects. Through creative advertising you will also be involved in applicant generation, interviewing and marketing candidates. Effectively you will initiate and deliver the entire recruitment life-cycle.

This is “sales” with a high telemarketing and face-2-face element. Therefore speaking to and meeting new people is something you must relish. Thankfully it is not a completely cold start as you will inherit an established desk. Knowledge of how to sell into the professional services market and being a good judge of character is a pre-requisite.

As an ambitious sales person you will have the capability and potential to quickly build and manage a team. Having been established for over 20 years we will be there to offer guidance but not suffocate your entrepreneurial flair. This is an outstanding career opportunity, so if you think you fit the bill, take the initiative and contact us.
