Anson McCade is looking to expand and requires only the most talented individuals who are keen to move into a fast paced and challenging environment where success is determined by your own hard work.
We work with a number of major blue chip organisations who are looking to recruit candidates with extremely specific and niche skills. We work niche roles and specialise in high-level IT and Investment banking so you should have an interest in one of these sectors. Your role is essentially to act as the middleman between clients and candidate but firstly, you will need to find these rare candidates!
Your duties will involve searching the market for the best candidates. We do this in a number of ways; Advertising, Social Network Sites, Searching Job Boards and most importantly networking. You will become a specialist in a niche market area in order to network effectively – Job boards are only a starting point. We are not here to help candidates in to roles - to develop lasting relationships with clients and candidates alike. We will work with you to help you develop your own individual style that means you will have the confidence to ask questions that others don’t – and most importantly your market knowledge will give the candidates the confidence to answer them. Product knowledge is therefore essential as is gravitas and your communication skills as you will be talking to the top 10% of the market.
This is a phone based role where you will be cold calling contacts you have developed – This is the hardest but most rewarding part of the job! You will be developing leads in a number of ways to try to find the candidates that don’t need to advertise themselves. You will essentially be able to grow your own desk as you become a specialist in a specific skill set and work with a number of clients to fill their most complex roles.
This is not an easy role. It is a role where you will face many set backs and rejections but you will have to have the motivation to continue. It is a sales role where you are required to hit and exceed targets and you will be financially rewarded on performance. Ours is a competitive, professional environment where you will need to work hard in order to establish your own network and develop your business, you will also need to have a strong, well balanced, politically incorrect sense of humour to enjoy the working environment.
