Workforce is one of the West Midlands’ leading recruitment firms, supplying over 700 businesses annually with high-quality, reliable staff. Since 2003, we’ve built a reputation for delivering results fast while providing an exceptional service to clients and candidates alike.

We’re now looking for a

sales-focused 360 Driving Recruitment Consultant to join our high-performing Cheltenham and Gloucester branch. This is a fast-paced desk with huge potential, so we’re looking for someone with energy, resilience, and a strong commercial drive.

The Role: Recruitment Consultant

As a 360 Consultant in our Driving division, you’ll be responsible for winning new business, filling urgent temporary vacancies, and building long-term client relationships. You’ll need to thrive under pressure, be responsive to ever-changing client demands, and deliver results at speed.

• Maintain strong relationships with active drivers and clients to ensure repeat business

• Keep CRM systems fully up to date for full visibility and compliance

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in recruitment or B2B sales is highly desirable

• Knowledge of the driving or logistics sector is a plus but not essential

• Resilient, competitive and target-driven, with a strong work ethic

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence decision-makers

• Able to work at pace, prioritise effectively and stay calm under pressure

• Comfortable making outbound sales calls and working toward KPIs

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays (increasing to 28 after 3 years)

• Day off for your birthday

• 1 paid volunteering day per year

• Ongoing coaching, training, and certified development programmes

• Career progression into senior or management roles

• Access to 24/7 GP line, mental health support and accident insurance

• High street and gym discounts

• Regular team socials, summer parties and Christmas events
