Temp Recruitment Agencies London

PitmansPeople is one of the top Temp Recruitment Agencies London.

Some career choices are very odd. In actual fact, there are no usual routes. Take mine for example, I graduated in electronics after a couple of years drifting in and out of jobs I decided contracting was for me.

I felt I could not commit to an organisation on long-term. After a couple of extensions to the contract, I chatted to the agency working on my behalf and told them I wanted work in technical sales and enquired weither they worked in that. They were interested in my technical history and enquired as to weither had considered a career in recruitment consultancy.

History is the rest, as I have heard said.

What qualities are required?

No formal qualifications, no natural progression into the trade, and no training that serves as preparation. The only requirement is that you are able to think fast on your toes, to be a salesman, love gossip, the ability to take to people an get them to be open and honest, a winning desire and the ability to keep getting back up.

Recruitment consultants - What makes them want to be this?

One reason - money! There is no other industry, other than serving as a politician, where a person with no qualifications could earn a lot. Seldom does a person decide on becoming a recruitment consultant to genuinely help others.

What is it like?

A hard job and one that you cannot detach yourself from. For example I am constantly listening to everyone to hear what their occupation is and if it might be relevant to me, either the person as a candidate or the organisation they work for.

he first two years supply you low pay and horrible conditions. EG you can expect to work 10-12 hours per day. After a couple of years you can relax but never take your hands off the wheel as someone is always willing to take over and drive.

Many mountains and valleys. But, the mountains are very tall and the valleys very steep. EG your customer phones you to tell you he is retrenching in the organisation and the first in line is the 10 contractors which are yours.

First step….

Temp recruitment agencies london - the first entry level is as a resourcer.

Spending all their time phoning candidates and try and fill jobs, a resourcer will be at work before and long after the consultants arrive or leave the office.

Then you will be promoted to consultant there you have to start finding clients. Life get's hard here. Keep in mind that 60% of all people that accept a job quit within 12 months.

Meaning, actually that there is a shortage of skilled consultants together with the fact that in fields such as IT and telecoms there is a localised recession, meaning people don't want to even start in the industry. Would you?
