Recruitment Consultant – Permanent or Interim FMCG
Manchester City Centre | Hybrid working | Competitive salary + bonus from day one
Are you confident, driven and able to build strong relationships over the phone?
A growing specialist recruitment business in the food and drink manufacturing sector is hiring two Recruitment Consultants due to continued growth:
- One consultant to join its Permanent Recruitment team
- One consultant to join its Interim Recruitment team
Previous recruitment experience isn’t essential. You could already be working in recruitment, or you may come from a successful sales background and be looking for a new career where your effort is genuinely rewarded.
The opportunity
You’ll join a fabulous, supportive team that will give you the training and guidance needed to build a successful recruitment career.
Working within the FMCG market, you’ll develop relationships with businesses across the food and drink manufacturing sector, helping them find talented permanent or interim professionals.
This is a role for someone who enjoys speaking to people, is comfortable picking up the phone and has the drive to create opportunities rather than waiting for them to arrive.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll be doing
- Building relationships with new and existing clients
- Speaking with candidates and understanding their career goals
- Proactively developing new business over the phone
- Sourcing and interviewing suitable candidates
- Managing the recruitment process from initial conversation through to placement
- Developing your knowledge of the FMCG and food manufacturing market
- Working closely with an experienced and supportive team
What we’re looking for
You don’t need previous recruitment or FMCG experience, but you will need:
- A proven background in sales, with the ability to evidence your performance
- Confidence speaking with prospective clients and candidates over the phone
- A genuine desire to do well and build a successful career
- Resilience, self-motivation and a positive attitude
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- The confidence to ask questions, learn and take ownership of your desk
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Recruitment experience would be welcomed, but attitude, drive and evidence of sales success are more important.
What’s on offer
- A generous bonus scheme from day one, with commission of up to 25% and additional rewards for high performance
- A supportive team with experienced leaders who genuinely want you to succeed
- Full training and ongoing development
- Hybrid working – must pass probation first
- Modern offices in central Manchester, close to Manchester Cathedral
- Monthly lunch clubs, team events and company incentives
- Healthcare scheme, including dental and physiotherapy
- Clear opportunities to develop and progress as the business continues to grow
- A collaborative, grown-up culture without unnecessary micromanagement
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a growing business where you’ll be trusted, supported and rewarded for your success.
