We also have 1 day a week working from home, incentives including a supercar for the weekend as well as 2 annual holidays and 4 lunch clubs.

You’ll need to be resilient, confident on the phone, and comfortable managing multiple tasks. Whether you're sourcing candidates, building client relationships, or negotiating offers, your sales skills will be key to your success.

Experience Required:

  • Sales Experience: You have a proven track record in sales, whether that's in a call centre, estate agency, or other target-driven roles.

  • Drive & Determination: You’re motivated by achieving and exceeding targets, with a desire to earn big and progress quickly in your career.

  • Excellent Communication Skills: You’ll be liaising with clients and candidates, so you must be confident, persuasive, and able to build rapport easily.

  • Full UK Driving Licence: You'll need to drive to meet clients and candidates, so a driving licence is essential.

  • Interest in Engineering: While not essential, any interest or background in engineering or technology will be a bonus.

    If you’re a driven sales professional who thrives in a target-focused environment and wants to carve out a rewarding career in recruitment, Hernshead offers the perfect opportunity for you
