You work in recruitment, you know how tough the job can be. Spinning lots of different plates, regularly putting out fires, with good days, bad days and amazing days... I get it. I'm a recruiter too.

I'll never be hands-off here; I love it too much. I'll be with you in the trenches. I'll be doing BD with you, I'll be resourcing a job until I physically can't do anything more. I love it. I need you to love it too.

What will you be doing?

Let's not beat around the bush. This will be a 360 role. You'll find the jobs and fill them.

You'll have access to job boards, our database, our current clients (upselling), LinkedIn. You'll have everything you need to do the job but the rest, that's on you.

Recruitment is a simple thing, but crikey it’s tough, testing and rewarding all at the same time. You’ll want to be incentivised. That’s one of the reasons we do this crazy job isn’t it!?! Everyone is on the same commission structure here and it isn't changing! Ever. You bill above your threshold* and you'll get 15% on everything from £5-10k and then 20% on everything above £10k and 30% above £20k.

We offer hybrid working, with 2/3 days a week in our office in Quedgeley, Gloucester and the rest being able to be worked from home. We are ideally looking for someone full time, however if you are an experienced recruiter looking for a part time role, it is still worth you picking up that phone!

So who are we?

Well, the business is 9 years old. Built on 20 years experience of recruiting in the insurance industry. We do alright. We are recognised in the industry, highly thought of, seriously connected and definitely one of the go-to agencies out there, despite our small size in comparison to the competition!

As a business, we very much believe it's quality over quantity.

You’ll be the 4th person in the business. We are small but mighty.

We recruit right across the insurance sector. (It’s more buoyant than you’d think) as well as the commercial and industrial markets too.

The vision for you (well we have 3 possibilities)… We are looking for someone to come in and take over a small existing claims recruitment desk. This desk has a few clients already but we are looking for someone ambitious who wants to come on board to grow this area of the business, with the opportunity if successful to grow a team of your own. We are also keen to speak to you if you are already  an insurance recruiter, recruiting into the broking or underwriting space, and looking for a change and finally we would also consider those who want to come on board and set up a new desk in a new sector (away from Insurance) and are open to what this may be as it will all be dependant on you!

What do you need to bring to the table?

Honestly, you HAVE to be a decent person and love recruitment.

Love the ups and downs, love the involvement you have with client’s growth plans and the instrumental impact you have on people's lives when you find them their next role. It’s not bums on seats, it's making sh!t happen for people.

You’ll have to be a phone-first type of recruiter though. You know what I mean, you see a job advertised or you get a hot lead and you’ve done something with it, and you’ve picked up the phone and had a conversation with somebody. Not just “Yeah, I’ve sent an email!

Oh, and a decent track record of billing consistently.

Anyway, if you’ve got this far, and you think you'd fit in well, we should probably be setting up a chat. It will be about you, what you are looking for and if CKB Recruitment fits around that. Don’t worry about not having a CV you don’t need any of that to have a chat. Show us you’re a phone-first recruiter. Give Kieran Boyle (MD) a call.
