• A self-motivated and target-driven attitude with a desire to exceed earnings potential.
• Strong knowledge of candidate attraction techniques, including headhunting, Boolean searching, and LinkedIn sourcing.
• Experience with CRM systems and recruitment software is beneficial but not essential.

• £25,000 - £35,000 base salary + realistic first-year OTE of £50,000.
• Hybrid working – 2 days from home after probation.
• Choice of being based primarily in South Shields or Gosforth High Street, with some travel between offices required.
• Full autonomy to grow your own desk and specialise in industries of your choice.
• A supportive and collaborative team environment with the backing of an established brand.
• Excellent opportunities for career progression as we continue to grow.
• Access to industry-leading training and recruitment tools.
