If your degree hasn’t led you straight into your desired profession, it can be tricky trying to work out where to head next.
There are so many different career options on s1jobs it can feel quite overwhelming.
One sector that’s expanding more than ever due to growing demand for talented candidates is recruitment.
Recruitment agencies are being hired by organisations more frequently to help seek out the best candidates for roles but they are always on the lookout for people to join their recruitment ranks too.
Specifically, they want motivated and ambitious individuals – so who better to hire than fresh-faced graduates with bags of energy?
Here are a few reasons why joining the recruitment sector might be the graduate job option for you.
Multi-faceted role
As a recruitment consultant, you’ll find yourself doing a number of different tasks.
Whether it’s doing a spot of marketing, negotiating or even interviewing, you’ll be gaining various skills that will help you progress within the industry – or transfer to a different sector.
No two days will be the same. In the morning you might be attending an event and the same afternoon meeting clients and candidates.
Financial rewards
Working in recruitment leads to all kinds of financial rewards, if you meet your targets and close those deals.
You can find yourself on a very comfortable salary straight off the bat and this will only continue to grow.
Career progression
If you consistently meet targets, you can find yourself climbing the career ladder without having to work for years or waiting for a job opening.
This will appeal to graduates who assumed they would have to stay at the bottom of the pecking order for a while before promotion.
Many managing directors of recruitment agencies started off as consultants and quickly worked their way up to boardroom executives.
Plus, you’ll be provided with lots of training and mentoring to help you progress.
It’s challenging
If you find yourself in a recruitment consultant role, it’s likely you’ll be busy all the time. It’s a job not suited to everyone due to the high level of confidence and communication skills needed, but you will find yourself picking up the necessary skills as you go along.
It’s an incredibly challenging job but when you match the right candidate to the right opportunity, you’ll be rewarded with immense job and personal satisfaction.
If you’re a graduate with the drive to progress up the career ladder, find the perfect HR/Training/Recruitment role on s1jobs.
