Trainee Recruitment Consultant - Engineering, Manufacturing & Industrial
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne, England, North East
Salary: Up to £25,500 per annum + bonus, hybrid working
Job Type: Permanent
Company: Kinetic Recruitment
Job Description:
Start Your Career in Recruitment with Kinetic
Are you ambitious, confident with people and looking for a career where your progression and earning potential can grow with your performance? Kinetic Recruitment has been recruiting within Engineering, Manufacturing and Industrial markets for over 40 years, and we're looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our established North-East team in Newcastle.
You don't need previous recruitment experience, as we'll provide a structured training and development programme. However, if you already have some recruitment or resourcing experience and are ready to take the next step towards becoming a Recruitment Consultant, we'd be particularly interested in hearing from you.
What You'll Be Doing Initially
Your first stage will focus predominantly on candidate recruitment and resourcing, giving you a strong grounding in the fundamentals of recruitment. You'll:
- Search for candidates using job boards, our database, referrals and social media
- Speak with and interview prospective candidates
- Build candidate pipelines for regularly recruited skills
- Match candidates to temporary and permanent vacancies
- Develop relationships with candidates and temporary workers
- Support experienced Consultants in filling vacancies for established clients
- Learn about our clients, their sites and the people they recruit
- Maintain accurate candidate records and compliance information
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.
As you develop, you'll take on increasing responsibility for client communication and commercial activity as you work towards managing your own recruitment desk.
Who Are We Looking For?
We're more interested in your potential, attitude and ambition than your current job title. You may already be working as a Recruitment Resourcer and feel ready to develop the client-facing and commercial skills required to become a Consultant. Alternatively, you could be a graduate or college leaver looking for your first commercial career, or already working in customer service, sales, hospitality, retail, account management or another people-focused environment.
We'd particularly like to meet someone who is:
- Confident communicating with different types of people
- Naturally curious and comfortable asking questions
- Organised and able to manage competing priorities
- Commercially minded
- Proactive and prepared to take the initiative
- Resilient and able to deal positively with setbacks
- Motivated by achieving results
- Keen to learn and develop
- Comfortable working as part of a team
You must hold a full driving licence and be able to drive, as you'll increasingly visit client sites as your role develops.
Salary, Bonus & Working Arrangements
- Starting salary £25,500
- Bonus opportunity as you develop within the role
- Newcastle based
- Hybrid working available, with a minimum of 3 days per week in the office
- Normal working hours of 8.30am-5.00pm, with flexibility available
- Full driving licence required
- Laptop and mobile phone provided
- Free onsite parking
Benefits
We want people to build a long-term career with Kinetic, so our benefits develop with your service. From joining:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
- An additional day off for your birthday
- Team and company social events
- Access to training and development relevant to your role
After 3 months:
- Auto-enrolment into our pension scheme - currently 5% employee contribution and 3% from Kinetic
Following successful completion of your 6-month probation:
- You become a member of the Kinetic Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) - when Kinetic is successful and meets its company targets, one third of net profits are distributed equally amongst all Employee Owners in April each year
- £200 annual Personal Development & Well-being Allowance, which can be used towards hobbies and interests outside of work
After 12 months:
- Private Health Scheme (taxable benefit; personal contribution may be required)
- Enhanced Company Pension Scheme - Kinetic contributes 6% when you contribute 3%, together with access to financial advisers
- Option to join the Bupa Healthcare Cash Plan, helping towards costs such as optical and dental treatment
- Death in Service / Life Assurance
Why Kinetic?
You'll be joining an experienced North-East team with a stable, long-term client base and strong relationships across the region, backed by more than 40 years of recruitment experience. This is an opportunity to learn recruitment properly from the ground up, develop alongside experienced people and build towards running your own successful recruitment desk. Because Kinetic is Employee-Owned, following successful completion of your probation you'll also become an Employee Owner, giving you the opportunity to share in the success you help create.
If you're ambitious, enjoy working with people and want to build a long-term career in recruitment, we'd love to hear from you.
