Recruitment Consultant

Recruitment is a fast-paced and dynamic industry where every day you can make an impact by changing someone’s life and helping businesses succeed. Mass Resources is a leader in Civil Construction, Mining and Renewables recruitment and we’re looking for confident, ambitious, driven and hard-working people who want to begin their career in recruitment and join our Perth office.

We launched our White Collar division just a few months ago but the team are already exceeding expectations so we're ready to take on another consultant to help us deliver permanent and contract recruitment in the mining and renewables sector. 

The roles you'd be recruiting for are typically mid to senior level, include all variety of Mining Managers, Engineers and Site Supervisors and require a high level of attention-to-detail and good matching skills. The market is very job-heavy and candidate short so you'll need to be excellent at finding and engaging with passive candidates, good at managing and controlling a process and have resilience, patience and persistence.

What is recruitment?

It’s a varied role but essentially you’re responsible for matching candidates to jobs and helping companies to find the talent they need. At Mass you’ll begin by focusing on candidate management which includes:

• Sourcing candidates – via our database, writing job ads and asking for referrals
• Screening candidates over the phone
• Assessing candidates in person
• Managing candidate compliance
• Undertaking candidate care to ensure they’re happy and safe in their roles

As you progress, there’ll be opportunities to manage jobs and do business development, and as our company grows you’ll have the chance to find your own clients and manage accounts.

It’s a hard job as candidates are scarce, and good people find work quickly, so you’ll spend a lot of your day on the phone speaking to people and interviewing in the office, and you'll need a high level of drive and resilience to persist with this task.

What will lead to success in recruitment?

Recruitment can be an enjoyable and successful career for people from all types of backgrounds and with all kinds of skills but typically it suits individuals who are:

• Confident communicators – you’re talking to people all day long and interacting with lots of different types of people
• Hardworking and driven – it’s a demanding job which often requires extra effort and hours
• Persistent and resilient – you’ll need a positive attitude to manage knockbacks and overcome challenges
• Have great attention to detail and a good memory – you’re dealing with a high number of candidates, managing multiple roles and have many compliance and admin process that must be completed
• Enjoy hard work and a challenge – the market is busy but tough and it’s going to take a lot of consistent effort on your part to achieve success

Given the nature of the candidates and clients the White Collar team deals with, a background in construction or mining or previous experience in professional or B2B sales is highly desirable.
