Role: Recruitment Consultant – Microsoft Technologies

Location: Hybrid working in central Tunbridge Wells office

Blue Pelican is hiring and looking for hungry and motivated recruiters to come and be a part of something special.

You’ll be joining our Microsoft practice, who cover the whole product stack ranging from Dynamics 365, Microsoft Business Intelligence, Azure, as well as all the development tools in between. As a team we cover core requirements from top Microsoft Gold Partners and end user clients across all industries. You’ll be partnering with colleagues within the team to win new business and deliver to an established client roster.

This will be a 360 remit, responsible for business development, relationship management, client delivery as well as role sourcing too.

The specialist area you’ll be responsible for growing will cover Microsoft development across all industries. We have no client ownership, so there’s a serious amount of opportunity to grow value from existing clients as well as build relationships and open new doors with prospective clients too.

Blue Pelican’s Mission:

“To be the most trusted recruitment partner to our clients, a respected resource for our candidates, and the most supportive company for our colleagues.”

So when it comes to demonstrating this though our employee proposition, we’ve got the following:

• Training and development with an individual budget allocated for you each year
• A commission plan which pays up to 25% of monthly invoicing
• No desk fee
• Holiday allowance which starts at 26.5 days rising to 31.5 days with service (plus bank holidays of course)
• 37hr week with flexible start and finish times around core hours of 10-4pm
• A defined 5 year roadmap to grow the company by 100%

Incentives and rewards

• 1/4ly - includes top quality lunches at exclusive restaurants, axe throwing, kart racing, West End shows, spa day, etc.
• Additional holiday allowance bonuses for hitting target
• Place on the Plane – e.g. do 120% of your billing target over 6 months and you’re going on a multi-day overseas trip – all expenses paid!

Quality-of-life and culture:

• Brand new offices right in the centre of Tunbridge Wells
• A sense of responsibility and purpose, doing good for our community. Whether it’s something you’re personally motivated by, or even if it’s aligned to what the business is doing and our charity partners.
• No big egos. Ask around and you’re likely to hear one of the big USP’s of working for us are the people. They’re knowledgeable, kind and supportive. They’re good people!
• During your onboarding period it will be incredibly valuable to be able to commit to at least 4 days from office. This is to get up to speed quickly with systems, tools, procedures and processes. As well as take onboard any training and development to support you in your journey. Once confident in your abilities and knowledge, you will be able to adapt to the minimum two days, or as you see fit.

What we’re looking for

• Experienced 360 recruiter, able to demonstrate the ability to open the doors with new business. Negotiating fees, exclusivity arrangements and successfully influencing in a B2B sales environment
• Past experience of hiring within the data or analytics industry would be a real advantage
• Good relationship management skills with a commercial focus. You know how to spot the opportunity for win/win and how to finesse things to get positive outcomes
• You’re organised and know how to structure searches to deliver results for clients quickly and effectively
• Motivated to achieve results, tenacious and driven.

TO APPLY

If you think you’ve got what it takes, you can share your Linkedin profile or email me a CV – it doesn’t have to be up to date, we can work on that once you decide you want to explore a career with us further.
