Experienced careers in recruitment - Roles and responsibilities

Experienced careers in recruitment roles and responsibilities

Are you excited by the fast-paced working environment, varied roles and people-focused career that working in recruitment can offer? Then read on to discover more about the daily roles, responsibilities and activities of Hays consultants.

  • Supporting your team throughout the day

    As a senior consultant, you may also be a people manager. This means that one of your key responsibilities each day will be supporting those who report into you: helping them prioritise their workloads, supporting them with any challenges they may encounter and helping them to be the best professionals possible.

  • Engaging with talent

    More experienced consultants will know exactly the type of person who will be a good fit for a role and organisation. They will directly engage with potential candidates, including those not currently looking for work, to ensure they find the right professional for every role.

  • Hosting a client meeting

    Senior consultants will use client meetings as opportunities to go above and beyond discussing roles that an employer needs filled - such as offering insights into how the recruitment landscape in their sector is changing, what soft skills they should be prioritising or helping them identify weaknesses in their hiring processes.

  • Developing their market

    Understanding your market and finding innovative strategies to ensure Hays is the 'go to' recruitment expert in your area is an important part of a senior consultant's role. For example, hosting a networking event in your area, with an interesting agenda and expert guest speakers helps to add real value for our clients.

  • Mentoring and recognising successes

    The responsibilities of being a people or business manager extend beyond simply helping your team with their daily workloads. Mentoring junior colleagues, identifying where and how performance requires support and recognising the success of others - including nominating your reportees for prestigious internal awards - are all a part of this.

  • Helping foster a great Hays culture

    Hays is very proud of its inclusive, fun and friendly culture. Senior consultants often play an active part in fostering this - whether by organising a fundraising activity to support our charity partner or being part of a steering committee to drive forward an issue close to their hearts, such as supporting mental health and wellbeing or LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
