Why Recruitment Could Be The Perfect Career For You

Why recruitment could be the perfect career for you

On the hunt for a new career but not sure where to start? If you’re looking for something people-focused, with opportunities for growth aplenty, then recruitment could be the perfect career for you.

Here’s why…

 

You’re a People Person

Recruitment is a people-focused industry. Our success is measured by the relationships we build with employers and candidates alike, and the recruiters most likely to thrive are those who draw their energy from interaction with others.

Being successful in recruitment requires excellent communication skills. You’ll be expected to communicate professionally and effectively with a wide range of people from all walks of life. You’ll need to be able to relay information clearly, dig deep to discover their needs, wants, and passions, and communicate in a way that makes people feel heard. If you’d describe yourself as a people person, you’re already halfway there!

Recruitment is full of opportunities for relationship-building and meaningful interaction. If those are things you’re passionate about and naturally good at, recruitment could be a great career choice for you.

 

You’re a New Graduate

According to research, 30% of successful recruitment professionals began their careers immediately after graduation. Unlike many occupations, the recruitment industry doesn’t require you to have multiple qualifications and years of experience under your belt. Instead, this industry values enthusiasm, dedication and a willingness to learn – things that, as a new graduate eager to embark on a successful career, you should have in abundance.

Securing a role as a fresh graduate can be challenging. Many industries will choose to select experienced candidates, leaving graduates with fewer options. Within the recruitment industry, however, new graduates bursting with personality, drive and enthusiasm are exactly what we’re looking for.

If you’re a new graduate on the hunt for an opportunity that will kickstart an exciting career, consider looking into recruitment roles.

 

You’re Ambitious

The recruitment industry provides plenty of opportunities for career growth, and success is measured by hard work and drive. If you’re an ambitious individual who enjoys always reaching for the next rung of the ladder, a career in recruitment can accommodate your desire for success.

While there are plenty of entry-level positions available, we often find that these individuals progress quickly, working their way into more senior roles as they gain more and more experience. Whether you’re striving to secure a position in Senior Management in the future or even open your own recruitment agency, this industry leaves the door for opportunity wide open.

If you’re ambitious and looking for a career that will give those ambitions the chance to fly, recruitment could be a perfect choice.

 

You Have No Experience

The recruitment industry values your soft skills above all – anything else can be learned on the job. Many recruitment agencies will provide full, in-house training to ensure you’re getting hands-on experience while already enjoying the benefits a role in recruitment can provide.

Don’t be deterred by your lack of experience – it’s all part of the job!
