Junior Recruitment Consultant

About the Role

Kane Selection, a Leeds-based recruitment agency focusing on North American clients within construction, heavy equipment, and construction technology sectors, is seeking a Junior Recruitment Consultant. This is a phone-centric position where the majority of the day involves outbound calls to candidates and eventually to clients unfamiliar with our firm. Strong phone confidence is essential, and the role includes comprehensive training through structured onboarding, on-the-job experience, and daily consultant support. Following initial training, work hours adjust to North American time zones with later shifts, arranged to fit the individual.

Key Responsibilities

• Initiating outbound calls to identify, qualify, and manage candidate relationships
• Conducting phone and video interviews with candidates
• Utilizing job boards, LinkedIn, and direct outreach for sourcing candidates
• Making both cold and warm business development calls as experience grows

• Composing and publishing job advertisements
• Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date CRM system

Candidate Profile

• Resilient in the face of rejection, maintaining motivation for new opportunities
• Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written
• Organized approach to managing a busy schedule of calls and follow-ups
• Comfortable engaging with diverse individuals from site managers to CEOs
• A genuine interest in the construction industry and an eagerness to learn

Experience in telesales, call centers, or customer service is advantageous but not mandatory.

• Not suited for those unwilling to spend most of their day on the phone
• Unsuitable for candidates seeking fixed nine-to-five hours without flexibility
• Not an administrative or resourcing role, but a consultant position
• Not ideal for those preferring email communication over phone calls

Compensation and Benefits

• Basic salary ranging from 24,250 to 27,000 per year
• Uncapped commission from the first successful placement with no minimum threshold
• Structured onboarding program and hands-on training experience
• Daily coaching provided by billing consultants to support growth
• Pathway to advance to a full Recruitment Consultant role
• Hybrid working model available after successful probation period
• Professional work environment emphasizing quality delivery and strong relationships
