Recruitment Consultant Permanent

ID Search & Selection is a specialist recruitment agency and we have been working in medical communications recruitment for nearly 20 years. We have an opportunity for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our team in and be based in our West Byfleet office, Surrey.

We recruit for medical communications professionals at all levels of seniority on behalf of healthcare advertising, medical education, PR and market research agencies and pharmaceutical companies – both on permanent and contract assignments. We mainly work on UK appointments although client geography does dictate that we sometimes work internationally. ID Search & Selection is a preferred recruitment partner to many of our clients and we enjoy a great reputation with both our clients and candidates.

This is a chance to join a successful team, but have the autonomy and freedom to run your own desk. We are looking for ambitious candidates who will have previous experience within a recruitment agency and will have a track record of achieving targets and delivering strong and consistent billing. We foster a supportive and enjoyable working environment where we help and encourage people to reach their potential.

In return you can expect an excellent working environment, good basic, excellent uncapped commission plan, 20 days holiday per year, and life assurance. Office hours are 9.30 am to 5.30 pm although we do make ourselves available to speak to candidates outside of office hours.

You will be responsible for the full life cycle of recruitment including client service, candidate management and business development. We are looking for good rapport builders who go out of their way to do their best for their clients and candidates. To be considered for this role, candidates must have previous recruitment experience and live within easy commuting distance of our West Byfleet offices.
