Recruitment Consultant

Finding an employer in the recruitment sector who willing to invest in your development as a real expert, while rewarding you well for your efforts, is not easy.  Often this is solely based around how much money you make for the business.  

Contract Scotland was established to redefine recruitment and set a new standard, to challenge how the recruitment industry works.

With 30+ years in business and following an ambitious we are going to grow and improve again.

To achieve that we need to add more great people to our team.

But who are we?    

Fundamental to our success has been the basic principle that all those who contribute to that success should share in the rewards. To that end, we operate a quarterly, uncapped profit share scheme – a model uncommon to most recruitment businesses in the UK. 

For the model to succeed it does require each team member to be accountable to one another, bringing its own kind of pressure. But for those prepared to take on that challenge, the possibilities for your career are exceptional.  

So what does life as a new graduate look like at Contract Scotland?

• You will benefit from our well-developed training programme designed to provide you with a solid foundation to build from.

There are some other benefits we need to mention! 

• Market leading company car/car allowance scheme. 
• Hybrid working – Working with your team, you’ll have some choice as to where to be based to achieve our shared goals. At times that could mean working remotely, or in our newly refurbished office!

 Here’s what you’ll need to succeed; 

Standout communication skills - whether it’s with the rest of the Contract Scotland team or our external clients/candidates, we need people who can present themselves well and talk to all kinds of folk. 

Discipline/ability to be organised - There’s lots to do, and you need to be able to prioritise and multi-task daily. 

Ambition - you’ll be surrounded by experienced & capable people, but you will be given the space & freedom to succeed on your terms, so we’re after people who are driven to be the best at what they do! 

Persuasive - we’re looking for people who can demonstrate how their likeability/influence will lead to success & strong relationships. 

Selfless/ability to work as a team - this might sound odd for a recruitment consultancy, but we want people who aren’t always looking out for number one and can consider others and work as a team to achieve their goals.

If you are hungry to kick start your new career and we sound like the right kind of organisation for you then we'd love to hear from you.
