Working in recruitment can be challenging. That’s why we offer extensive training and development, both through tailored programs and on the job. If you have the right drive and ambition, it can be quite rewarding and straightforward. And if you’re worried about the long hours that are often synonymous with recruitment, we offer the support you need to stay on track and avoid the long hours that disorganised recruiters can face. We also offer peak work hours and flexible time.
Everyone at Robert Half receives a base income, guaranteed. However, recruitment consultants have much greater earning potential because the bonus plans we offer are un-capped. The bonus structure also works on a tier-system, which becomes more lucrative the more you contribute - so what you put in, you directly get out. Our operating models are geared around working as a team, putting our clients and candidates first via our Ethics First policy.
About three months. We offer a very robust training program as part of your onboarding. With our tried and tested 13-week plan and ongoing training, you will quickly understand our metrics and KPIs, and get the hang of the role in just a few short months.
Our valued team members are in agreement – Robert Half is an enjoyable and rewarding place to work. We are very collaborative, offer sufficient training at the beginning of your onboarding to follow-through and we embrace an entrepreneurial team spirit. Our culture is not just about account management - we enjoy the thrill of hunting down new business and nurturing that relationship. And being under the umbrella of Robert Half, you’ll get the highest level of technological support to help you get the job done, focus on business development and make administration and sales easy.
No. Robert Half does not consider candidates who are not permanent residents, however, in certain circumstances we might consider particularly skilled or qualified applicants.
While we offer a career for those who want to focus more on candidates, most of our consultants are ‘360 recruiters’ where you would operate on both the client and candidate side, rather than only one pathway.
Helping people is very rewarding. Helping a candidate find a new job or assisting a client recruit new talent is an amazing accomplishment. The office environment is also great – feeling that you are part of a team with incredible support is a great motivation as well.
Recruitment can be challenging and highly competitive. Our most successful recruiters are highly resilient. They are also driven and motivated to be successful, work collaboratively and want to be able to measure success based on merit, rather than tenure.
While the roles are not mutually exclusive, if you would like to be an HR generalist, you might want to consider working directly for a corporate organisation. While there are aspects of our business that are similar, Robert Half is not an HR company.
Helping people find their dream job is definitely something we want in our recruiters, but it is not the sole driver. Your commercial acumen adds the most value to our business.
