A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRAINEE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT | Recruitment Professionals

When you're new to the recruitment industry, or looking to start your career as a Recruitment Consultant, it can be hard to know what to expect. In this video I interview a trainee consultant called Jordan, who started his career in recruitment in February 2022. We chat all about what a typical day is like for him, what he's learnt since he started the role and how he's coped with the ups and downs of the job.
It's an informative and honest chat, and I'd like to say a big thank you to Jordan for taking the time to speak with me. If you would like to connect with Jordan you can find him on LinkedIn - / jordanoaten-engineerin... .

This is great as I have an interview for a trainee recruitment consultant tomorrow! It’s good to see how things work.

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

Hi Sara, glad you enjoyed the video. How did your interview go?!

[@Nishka88]

hi i have one today just wondering how it went, what did they ask and did you get the job.

[@Harryspoonify]

Really appreciate this video, I've applied for a trainee recruitment role to move into from retail, I love working with people as I'm a social person and love to help people progress so I hope the move is a good decision! Thanks for the info 👍

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

I'm sure it will be, you sound well suited to it. Good luck with your interview 🙂

I want to get into recruitment but don’t feel ready enough due to lack of confidence when it comes to working on the phone and communication in general, is their anything you would suggest in this situation?

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

What can help is getting a job in the interim that will give you some experience in dealing with and speaking to people on the phone. I worked in a call centre before I went into recruitment, and it was the perfect experience for me to develop my skills and prepare me for the working world. I had training to help me get used to working on the phone all day. If you're not keen on something like that, even a customer facing job would be beneficial to give you some confidence. If you join the right recruitment company, they will give you training and help you develop your communication skills don't worry :). Hope that helps.

[@cmagz9225]

Recruitment consultant here, nobody is listening to your phone call. They are all busy doing their own work. Hope that helps

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

@@cmagz9225 🙌🙌 exactly that!

Start as a 180 degree consultant slowly and build you confidence. I went from shy researcher to succesful consultant in a year. you can do it too.

[@user-fu4fq9cj8x]

Trainee IT recruiter here. Been trying to land my first job for six months, but its so difficult without having any experience 😢

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

@@user-fu4fq9cj8x it can be so hard getting your foot in the door sometimes, you're not alone 🖤. Feel free to email me your CV and we can book in a chat, I'd love to help.

Hi ma'am Could you make video on Resume marketing consultant

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

Hi, thank you for your comment. Do you mean a video on writing a CV?

[@AuPairChina]

I’m curious. Are you still in contact with him? Is he still in recruitment? Hope he’s doing well 👍🏻

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

Yes he's still in recruitment, at the same company and doing really well. We are still in contact, I spoke to him just a few days ago!

[@AbuBakar-pz9ro]

Can you lose your position as a recruitment consultant if you are not meeting sale targers?

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

In a nutshell, yes...but with a lot of agencies they will do everything they can to help you with areas you're struggling with so you have the best chance possible to hit your targets. There are other things that come into it as well, such as your work ethic and attitude. Hope that helps :)

[@daminitanver6785]

Such an informative video! May I know if there are recruitment consultant jobs in the UK with visa sponsorship, as I'm planning to move to the UK.

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. I don't know of any with the clients I'm supporting at the moment, but there will be some! Where in the UK are you planning to move to?

[@daminitanver6785]

@@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching Thank you so much for your reply 🌸 you are really kind. I do not have any specific location in my mind, however as I have been to London and it's outskirts so I believe if I get an opportunity to move to London, that would be great.

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

@@daminitanver6785 There are a lot of recruitment agencies in London, so I'm sure there will be ones that offer sponsorship. If you have LinkedIn I would start connecting with agencies in London and the outskirts, then messaging any of the managers/owners. They will like your direct approach and might be happy to chat to you more about the role, so if there aren't any positions for you, at least you've gained some extra knowledge!

[@daminitanver6785]

@@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching I can't thank-you enough for your knowledgeable replies, yes I do have LinkedIn. May I know if I can connect with you on LinkedIn? Also, it would be really kind of you if you could pass on such opportunities which provide visa sponsorship for me if you come across any. 😊

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

@@daminitanver6785 of course you can, I think we may have already connected actually. If I hear of any I'll be sure to let you know.

[@AuPairChina]

Kate! I want to work for you! I’ve decided to get into recruitment and go for it.

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

That's brilliant! Where are you based?

[@AuPairChina]

@@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching I’m based in Manchester. I have a face to face interview next week! Are you currently taking people on!?

[@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching]

@@AuPairChina I don't have a recruitment company, my business offers recruitment training and coaching. But if you email me your CV I can see if there're any clients I know around your area I can recommend you to ☺️

[@AuPairChina]

@@kateoneillrecruitmentcoaching Okay! Let me look into your coaching. That could give me a cheeky head start when I start working!
