About Us

Based in Maidstone we are a market leading professional recruitment business who have enjoyed a period of sustained growth and development. We provide staff to all businesses in Kent, ranging from independent SMEs to the large multi-national businesses on a permanent, temporary and contract basis. We have enjoyed back to back record years, and are on track to do so again this year.

Our success has led to growth and expansion into new disciplines and new areas, meaning that we are able to offer strong career prospects to those that come and join our business. As well as the chance to progress your career, we also offer a fun and enjoyable culture where you can work with a great group of consultants, which we feel is really important.

Beyond Kent, we are part of the FTSE 200 recruitment business PageGroup, which comprises of Michael Page, Page Personnel and Page Executive. This means that as well as being able to offer greater coverage of the market for our clients and candidates, we also offer the best support network for you as a consultant within our business, including the market leading training and development plans which we offer all of our employees. We are consistently ranked in the Sunday Times Top 100 businesses to work for.

In Maidstone, we are now looking to hire the right candidate to help us continue to develop, either by joining one of our existing disciplines, or by helping us to break new ground in disciplines that we do not currently focus on locally.


Job Description

At PageGroup, we like to recruit people who can manage their own time and their own deadlines in order to hit their own targets. Recruitment is a sales driven role you will get out what you put in, but we prefer to work smarter rather than harder.

The role of a PageGroup recruitment consultant combines business development and commercial customer service, generating revenue by successfully engaging with clients, candidates and colleagues.

Key responsibilities typically include:

• Identifying and developing client/business relationships in a competitive environment
• Advising on and selling the most appropriate solution for attracting candidates and maintaining a candidate database
• Assessing and responding to the needs of each particular client or assignment
• Sourcing suitable candidates and briefing them on the opportunities offered by the client
• Managing the process through interview to offer stage and beyond
• Offering CV, interview and general career advice
• Networking to build business information that can be converted into commercial opportunities

What's on Offer
