Introduction to Recruitment – New Consultant Training 

 

 

Giving your consultants the very best start in recruitment is vital to their ongoing development, and is a great investment in your business. It’s simply not good enough to point someone at a desk and market and hope that somehow things will work out, but I see it so often.

 

The solution is great basic New Consultant Induction Training. Learning good basic habits and skills at the very beginning makes for great future consultants.

 

 

Who is New Consultant Training for?

 

These courses are run across 3 days and are designed to provide those new to recruitment with a sound understanding of the recruitment process, as well as the key skills necessary to succeed.

 

Fully modular, the courses days can be run concurrently or a week or so apart to give on-the-desk experience before the next module.

 

New Consultant Training can be tailored to both permanent and temporary desks.

 

 

“My colleagues and I had the pleasure of attending training with James organised by our company. James was extremely approachable and made us feel at ease immediately. He understood within the first half an hour exactly where our personal strengths and weaknesses were, as well as the types of learners we are and tailored his teaching around this whilst delivering a dynamic and structured programme that was thoroughly engaging and highly informative the whole way through.

 

We left the course with a thorough understanding of the material as well as a copy of his book which reinforces all of the topics and ideas discussed. I would highly recommend James for the future!“


Laura Fairweather, Consultant – Invenia Resourcing

 

“Brilliant! James is dynamic, engaging interesting to listen to and the content is all very relevant. Honest, motivational and thought provoking.”

“James is a great trainer covering a broad range of training modules for recruitment consultants. As I am new to recruitment, I attended his training which I found very useful. I highly recommend him!”

 

Rebecca Garrie, Consultant – HCL Workforce Solutions

 

 

“James has a proven track record in leading managing and growing teams and businesses in ways that really chimed with our needs. He very quickly understood our business, our position in the market and the values created around the brand. This was key for us to create a training and development programme which didn’t disrupt our culture internally and helped build and develop our capability and service offering externally.

 

James’ style is collaborative and engaging and he has been very well received at all levels of our business. We’ve engaged James on an ongoing basis to support us as we continue to grow.”
