About Us:
Confido Consult is a dynamic, niche recruitment agency specialising in the rapidly growing Building Control and Surveying markets. We provide both contract and permanent recruitment solutions to a wide range of clients, with a unique approach that sets us apart from our competition. Our specialist expertise, combined with a strong industry reputation, has established us as leaders in our markets, now presenting opportunity to add to our dream team!
With a market-leading commission structure and uncapped earning potential, we offer a rewarding environment with no external shareholders or silent partners – meaning we can afford to be generous!
What really sets us apart however is our culture. While our generosity will draw you in, it’s our supportive, fun, and motivating environment that will keep you with us.
We don’t follow the typical, numbers-driven KPI culture. Instead, we take a tailored, common-sense approach. Focus on quality, follow our lead, and you’ll perform without needing to make pointless calls just to hit a target. For us, it's about doing things the right way, not the traditional way.
At Confido, we also believe in having fun along the way. Our vibrant office, located in the heart of Liverpool’s waterfront, is designed for collaboration and relaxation. When you’re not advancing your career, you’ll find plenty of ways to unwind – from darts and table tennis to ‘wellbeing massages’, early finishes, company-funded socials, and constant incentives.
We’re specialists in our market, which means you’ll be working a ‘hot desk’ with plenty of jobs to make an impact on from day one. Thanks to our strong reputation, the opportunities are endless, meaning you'll have the perfect platform to thrive and progress (and quick!).
As part of a small but ambitious team, you’ll have the chance to be a key player in our growth story. You'll receive 1-2-1 support directly from the MD and be in pole position for promotion opportunities as we continue to expand. This is a unique chance to shape your career and grow alongside a business that truly wants nothing more than to see you succeed.
