360 Recruitment Consultant

Company Description

Horizon Resourcing is a growing specialist recruitment company providing temporary and permanent staffing solutions across the veterinary, healthcare and social care sectors.

We believe successful recruitment is built on genuine relationships, sector knowledge and a clear understanding of what each client needs. Our approach is consultative, responsive and commercially focused, allowing us to build long-term partnerships rather than simply fill individual vacancies.

Our consultants are supported by a dedicated delivery team that manages candidate sourcing, engagement and pipeline development. This structure enables our consultants to concentrate on building client relationships, developing new business and turning opportunities into successful placements.

Role Description

We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant to join our team in Ipswich on a full-time, office-based basis.

This is primarily a client-focused and business-development role. Unlike a traditional 360 recruitment position, you will not be expected to source your own candidates. Our dedicated delivery team is responsible for identifying, engaging and qualifying suitable professionals, giving you more time to focus on clients, vacancies and placements.

Your main responsibility will be to develop relationships with new and existing clients, understand their staffing requirements and secure temporary and permanent recruitment opportunities. You will then work closely with our delivery team to match suitable candidates to those roles and manage the process through to a successful placement.

Key Responsibilities

Building and maintaining strong relationships with new and existing clients

Developing new business through outbound calls, emails, meetings and networking

Identifying staffing requirements and securing new vacancies

Taking detailed and accurate job briefs from clients

Advising clients on candidate availability, market conditions, pay rates and recruitment strategies

Working closely with the delivery team to identify suitable candidates for each vacancy

Presenting candidates to clients and coordinating interviews, feedback and offers

Negotiating rates and terms while protecting commercial margins

Managing placements from initial vacancy through to confirmation and aftercare

Maintaining accurate records of client activity, vacancies and placements within the recruitment system

Achieving agreed activity, revenue and placement targets

Representing Horizon Resourcing professionally at client meetings and industry events

About You

We are looking for someone who is confident, commercially minded and comfortable developing relationships over the telephone, by email and in person.

You should have:

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

Confidence in approaching prospective clients and developing new business

A proactive, resilient and results-focused attitude

The ability to understand client requirements and turn them into recruitment opportunities

Strong organisation and attention to detail

The ability to manage multiple vacancies and priorities in a fast-paced environment

Confidence using CRM systems, LinkedIn and standard office software

The ability to work collaboratively with a dedicated candidate delivery team

Previous recruitment, sales, account management or business-development experience would be beneficial, but we are equally interested in individuals with the right attitude, commercial awareness and willingness to learn.
