Thinking about becoming a recruiter or recruitment consultant? Working out how to become a recruiter might be a bit daunting if you haven’t quite got to grips with what the industry is all about. We’re going to take a look at recruitment job roles, qualifications, skills and where to find the best job vacancies.
Whilst all recruitment roles are similar they do vary slightly. Here are a few job titles you might come across in your search for recruitment jobs…
Resourcers/Researchers - This job role supports consultants by focusing on resourcing candidates for the vacancies they have.
Recruitment Consultants - These are responsible for securing new clients to work with, maintaining relationships with them, and sourcing candidates for the clients’ vacancies. These recruitment roles are typically divided into:
For managed services job titles may include names such as Account Manager, MSP Coordinator, and Resourcing Business Partner (these are typically jobs relating to larger contracts).
Internal Recruitment / Talent Acquisition - These teams are in-house staff that look after the recruitment needs of their own business, working with recruiters from external agencies on hard-to-fill roles.
Qualifications and Skills - Although there is no standard for required qualifications, some schemes with a broader remit may have certain prerequisites. However, working in recruitment means you’ll have to have strong interpersonal skills, enjoy working to targets/deadlines and be resilient.
Adaptability and a willingness to always be learning are also very important when working in recruitment!
You will find thousands of recruitment consultant vacancies on all major job boards such as additionalresources.co.uk, so how do you find the right one? Ultimately, if you demonstrate the desire to work in recruitment and exceed targets, then combining that with good communication skills and demonstrable resilience will mean many recruitment companies will be keen to hire you.

Most experienced recruiters at some point in their career consider setting up on their own but there are many hurdles to overcome in doing this, which is why most people don’t.
The current work-from-home situation means that recruiters are realising the benefits of being home-based, working flexible hours and enjoying a good work-life balance. They are also assessing what value their employers provide. For many people, there is the realisation that they really could work for themselves and earn significantly more, if only there was a straightforward way of doing this.
