We’re always interested in hearing from recruiters who have a track record of success.
Where We Are
Our office is a 2 minute walk from Horsforth train station. There’s good coffee, plenty of lunch options and numerous pubs on our doorstep. We’d like you to be here at least 2 days per week – after that, it’s up to you.
Our Culture
We take our jobs seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. If you’re a hard worker but you can laugh at yourself every now and again, you’ll fit in here. We’re drama free and there’s no office politics. Above all, we’re dedicated and we’re ambitious, but we’re humans too, and we expect you to have a life outside of work.
The Job
We hire 360 recruiters. Your vertical will be ingredients, nutrition or food and beverage brands – exactly where you’ll fit in and the functions you’ll focus on will depend on your background. When it comes to the service levels we give to our clients and candidates, we don’t compromise. There’s not a lot more to say – you’ll probably have plenty of questions, but we’ll talk through them over a coffee.
Your Future
Too often, the only way you can progress in a search firm is by managing a team. Maybe that’s what you want – that’s cool, we can get that plan in place and make sure you’re trained and ready for when that day comes. But maybe you can’t think of anything worse. We’re small, we’re growing and we’re agile. That means that we can listen to your aspirations and not push you down a path that isn’t right for you.
Your Earnings
Our commission scheme is quarterly and you can earn up to 50% of your billings. We’ll show you it before you join, so you can put last year’s billings in and see what you would have made here before making any commitment. We want to be transparent and our system is easy to understand and really lucrative for anyone who’s a regular biller.
What Do You Need?
We’ll need to see some recruitment experience – it might be a little, it might be a lot. But this is a tough gig, so we need evidence that you’ll stick it out when times are hard. Apart from that, you’ll be articulate – you’ll need to be credible in speaking to pretty senior people. You’ll be able to write a compelling advert, craft an intriguing email and develop relationships with all sorts of different people. Attitude is key – we’ve got to this point by building a good reputation, so you need to be the person who, if they say they’ll do something, they do it. Oh, and personality! We’re not corporate robots here, we’re individuals with opinions that we’re happy to share. That’s part and parcel of why clients like to deal with us – we build partnerships rather than taking orders.
Want to know more?
A few questions that tend to come up:
My experience as a recruiter isn’t in food or nutrition – can I still apply?
Yes, we don’t need to see specific experience. Permanent, low volume, high value fees are what we will need to see, though. We can teach you the rest.
What’s your dress code?
We’re not living in 2005, we don’t do dress codes.
Do you have incentives?
Yep, and the bigger we get as a business, the bigger and better those will be. Got an idea? Let’s hear it – we’ll only set incentives that everyone buys into.
