Recruitment Consultant

Richmond, £30-40k + Benefits for Mind, Body and Soul

Are you a marketer who’s looking for a fresh challenge? 
Ever considered a career in recruitment? 

Probably not. 


But then if you thought Stopgap was just like every other recruitment agency, who could blame you?

But there’s the hook.  Stopgap is not a ‘traditional’ recruitment agency. Based in Richmond, we are the UK’s largest independent marketing recruitment agency.  We pride ourselves on being Positively Different and, for over 17 years, have proved that recruitment can be filled (pun intended) with passion and integrity.

Run by ex-marketers, we were the first specialist freelance marketing recruitment agency in the UK and, have now become one of the industry’s most famous names, collecting a raft of awards on the way, including ‘Best Recruitment Agency to Work For’ (Recruiter Awards 2010).

If you have a genuine interest in people as human beings, are passionate about making a positive difference and would like to join a friendly, hardworking business, this is a superb opportunity to turn your outstanding people skills into a rewarding career.

Interested?  You’ll need these key skills:

Good organisational ability; can multi-task; can build relationships; good intuition; perception; good negotiation ability; good written and verbal communication; good attention to detail; the ability to provide coaching / mentoring to candidates; solid marketing knowledge.

It’s also important to us that you share our guiding principles:

Daring


You will actively take a path less travelled if it helps you get where you want to be and you won’t be afraid of change if it is needed to help you get there.

Passionate


You will always be prepared to go the extra mile and have the drive and determination to succeed.

Collaborative

We are not a place that is interested in ranking boards, competitiveness or egos. We want someone who is bothered about their team – not themselves.

Agile


We’re flexible to the needs of those we work with, adapting and evolving, ever ready to respond to any issue.

Integrity


You will have a genuine interest in people as human beings and appreciate the need of honesty – even if this is hard. You will be brave enough to challenge but in a sensitive, caring way.

You’re looking for a job where:

You spend a lot of your day talking to people both in person and on the phone. You get a buzz out of helping others and understand, and are happy, that there is a fairly hefty administration element to recruitment. You know how to strike the balance between having fun with your team, and getting your head down.

So, do you think you’ve got what it takes to be part of the UK’s ‘Best Recruitment Agency to Work For’? We ask everyone to write us a letter to send along with their CV and salary expectations – an interview before the interview if you like! In your letter we’d like you to answer the following questions:

1. Why the Stopgap Group – why are we right for you? 2. What are you passionate about? 3. What are 5 key words that best describe you?
