At COS we believe our consultants are our greatest assets. We value their contributions, ideas and individuality. Over the years many suggestions made by our staff have been implemented and have become the foundations of our dynamic and progressive organisation today.
Our supportive and experienced management team are pivotal in the career development of our staff, motivating, encouraging and promoting a hard working but fun environment for all.
With our streamlined systems and by using one of the most sophisticated people matching systems available - the market leader in recruitment software, our Consultants are free to focus on what they enjoy doing best - placing our candidates in jobs.
Each COS branch has its own individual character whilst maintaining our stylish corporate identity. With the emphasis on team work in both work and play, our staff get together for fun events, group activities and charity functions throughout the year.
The skills and aptitudes needed for success as a Recruitment Consultant are, essentially, very different from those required of an 'H.R.' or 'Personnel' Consultant. A Recruitment Consultant's role will usually include a substantial amount of sales, both 'warm' sales - development of existing accounts - and 'cold' sales - targeting prospective new clients. Successful Consultants will always, therefore, be extremely 'driven' individuals, display a strong self-belief and positive 'can do' attitude and often have a history showing a highly competitive nature. Although personal accountability is essential, the ability to deliver greater results through effective team working is an increasingly sought-after skill in today's marketplace.
To be considered for a Consultancy role at COS we require ambitious, confident and goal oriented individuals who enjoy responsibility and working in a high-pressure environment. They should have proven sales experience, the ability to handle multiple priorities and work to strict sales targets and deadlines. Excellent planning ability, interpersonal and communications skills and the ability to work shift hours (we work 2 types of shift - 8am to 4.30pm and 10.30am to 7pm) is essential, plus own transport, clean driving license and good keyboard and IT skills.
We offer a very competitive salary and commission structure (as well as running several annual inter-branch competitions), contributory pension scheme, medical insurance, private health scheme, stylish business suits, holidays increasing according to length of service up to 30 days, flexible working hours... and a great Xmas party!
