About us

We work with construction professionals considering their next career move and who want to make the most informed decision – now and for the entirety of their careers. Having been established for over 15 years, we have built a solid foundation in our sector and have one of the most credible reputations in the industry, an excellent staff base of skilled consultants and a vibrant, professional and exciting working environment.

We believe one of the reasons we have been so successful is that we know our industries inside and out. Our team has a background in construction, civil engineering and consultancy. We talk our client’s language.

You can also be confident that we do things right. It is common for recruitment to be tarnished as a volume-based, transactional sector with a lack of understanding for the nuances of the market within which each company operates. You won’t find any of that at Cityscape Recruitment. We work to very high standards with transparency and expect our team to operate armed with extensive industry knowledge, and we value and reward our people for delivering against that vision.

We have a proven history of developing trainees into the best consultants in their field – each team member is given encouragement, support and, most importantly, the opportunities to progress. They are also rewarded for their achievements. As with any sales-based role, we offer a competitive benefits package. This includes a generous monthly commission structure which often exceeds the base salary. To put it simply, we know that our employees are the foundation of our business. We make it our responsibility to ensure that this foundation is looked after.

About the role

We currently have an opportunity for an experienced recruitment consultant to join our busy Residential Development team. You will be working alongside the team’s manager who has 10 years of experience working in this sector.

This opportunity will provide you with the platform to further develop a lucrative section of the business and build on a strong, focused client list.

The dedicated recruiter will be given a good balance between support and autonomy to manage their desk. And in doing so, they will manage the process, develop and manage client and candidate relationships, source candidates for roles, liaise with other consultants in the business and will fulfil a full 360 recruiter role.

As a growing company, your position within the business will naturally elevate to a role with more responsibility, gaining more experience over time. There is room for this individual to not only progress towards senior consultant but also beyond into divisional leader positions.

Rewards and benefits

Remuneration will be extremely generous. We base salaries on the experience and abilities of each professional but offer beyond the typical level in the industry. You can expect a basic salary from £30,000 to £35,000.

We will also pay you a commission on all placements increasing the yearly earnings significantly. In addition to basic salary and commission, we offer a generous benefits package.

Requirements

Successful applicants will ideally have prior experience in construction recruitment and will be capable of business generation and client delivery leading to fees. This particular area of the business benefits from an established and mature client base with multiple organisations. The most suitable applicants will have experience of recruiting for a range of permanent appointments.

However, we are willing to consider and meet with applicants who have proven recruitment experience that is not within the construction sector or applicants with limited exposure to the recruitment sector, for example, those in a resourcer/trainee role who are looking for the next step.

We are also keen to consider individuals who are qualified in construction or civil engineering or have previously worked in the Residential Development sector specifically. The market knowledge and understanding gained from this background offer a unique starting point for a potentially excellent career in construction recruitment.

Most importantly a successful Recruitment Consultant will be self-motivated, have a confident personality, be willing to work with a variety of people, be conscientious, show strong organisational skills and demonstrate a high level of intelligence.
