What is the Role of an IT Resources Recruitment Consultant?
The role of an IT Resources recruitment consultant is fast paced, demanding and diverse. It is also very challenging and exciting and no two days are ever the same.
The role involves attracting business from client companies by using sales,
business development and marketing techniques. This includes building relationships with clients by going out and meeting them, keeping in touch over the telephone and also in writing. It involves getting to know the client companies, what they do, how they operate and the general culture or atmosphere of the workplace. An important attribute for an IT Resources recruitment consultant is the confidence to contact prospective clients and win their business.
You'll talk to and meet job seekers (we call them 'candidates') to
assess their competencies and experiences, their career aspirations as
well as their 'fit' for different positions. You will screen
candidates, interview them and select suitable candidates to put forward
to client companies. Our recruitment consultants are also involved in negotiating pay and salary rates and finalising arrangements between client and candidate. The sense of satisfaction you receive from placing the right candidate in the right job can be overwhelming.
What rewards could an IT Resources recruitment consultant expect?
Salaries will vary based on your experience, but IT Resources usually
pays consultants a basic salary plus a performance-related
bonus or commission. For those who work hard and are good at their job
the rewards will be substantial.
What level of education does a recruitment consultant need?
IT Resources generally welcomes candidates from a range of educational
backgrounds and there is a great future for those with the drive and determination to succeed. We also have a comprehensive career development programme for those wishing to progress quickly.
To build on your academic achievements there are industry specific qualifications, from ITCRA which can be studied for.
What sort of work experience does an IT Resources recruitment consultant need?
People who are keen to learn and have the right personal attributes will
also be welcomed by IT Resources. Mature candidates who are seeking a second
career will find IT Resources offers a stimulating and dynamic role where

disciplines would be useful, although not essential,
for starting a career with IT Resources:

- Sales
Also, if you have background knowledge or professional qualifications in
a specific IT market sector this can be very helpful. The more market
knowledge you have, the more often you'll bring your clients and candidates
together in a successful match.
