About Us
Accounting Placements is a specialist recruitment and career development company focused on helping aspiring accountants break into the UK accounting industry.
Our Employment Placement Programme supports candidates who are struggling to secure accounting roles by providing practical work experience, career support, interview preparation, and assistance with securing employment opportunities.
We are now looking for a confident, motivated Sales Associate to join our growing team and speak with candidates who have already expressed an interest in progressing their accounting careers.
The Role
This is primarily a consultative sales role.
You will speak with prospective candidates, understand their current situation and career goals, explain how our Employment Placement Programme works, and help suitable candidates decide whether the programme is right for them.
You will be working with predominantly warm leads and booked consultations, rather than spending your day cold calling random prospects.
Your responsibilities will include:
