Job description
About BMS Performance
BMS Performance is a leading recruitment consultancy with expertise in several sectors including Sales, Engineering, Construction, Medical Devices, Life Sciences, and Professional Services. As the company expands, it seeks a Recruitment Consultant to join its team based in South Dublin.
Role Overview
This position differs from traditional 360 recruitment roles by focusing on candidate sourcing and recruitment process management rather than generating vacancies yourself. You will collaborate closely with Business Development Managers (BDMs) who secure clients and job briefs, while your key responsibility will be to find suitable candidates and ensure the recruitment lifecycle progresses smoothly through to placement.
Key Responsibilities
- Using LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, and CRM systems to source and approach candidates, including passive ones.
- Conducting outbound calls, screening, and interviewing candidates.
- Marketing job opportunities and companies to prospective candidates.
- Shortlisting and presenting top candidates to clients while advocating for their strengths and professionally challenging client expectations when necessary.
- Managing interview scheduling and maintaining momentum throughout the hiring process.
- Preparing candidates comprehensively for interviews, gathering feedback from all parties, and handling objections, counteroffers, and salary negotiations.
- Collaborating with BDMs to prioritise vacancies and optimise placements.
- Taking ownership of multiple live vacancies simultaneously, ensuring end-to-end recruitment coordination with a strong sales-focused approach.
Candidate Profile
- Previous recruitment experience is advantageous but not mandatory.
- Ideal candidates have a strong sales background, comfortable with cold calling, negotiating, objection handling, influencing decision-makers, and working to targets.
- Commercial mindset, resilience, confidence on the phone, proactive attitude, and strong organisational skills are essential.
- Ability to professionally challenge clients and manage multiple recruitment processes concurrently.
Compensation and Benefits
- Base salary ranging from €40,000 to €60,000 depending on experience.
- On-target earnings (OTE) between €80,000 and €90,000+ with uncapped commission potential.
- Pension scheme.
- 25 days of annual leave.
- Hybrid working model and flexible working hours.
- Access to LinkedIn Recruiter and other recruitment tools.
- Continued sales and recruitment training.
- Clear career progression opportunities.
Additional Information
The role entails working in a fast-paced, sales-driven environment with weekly KPIs and revenue targets. Autonomy is offered in daily work management, but ownership and delivering results are expected. Training on recruitment processes and markets will be provided for those from non-recruitment sales backgrounds. A positive, goal-oriented mindset with the drive to succeed is vital.
