After eight years of making their mark on the Midlands, Gleeson are ready to expand their current service offering with a branch that delivers a bespoke, all-encompassing, stress-free (for the client) form of recruitment. Drum roll please... introducing Gleeson Futures: a start-up RPO backed by the full force of Gleeson Recruitment Group. We have an unparalleled network across the Midlands and Thames Valley, 11 sector specialisms and several industry awards under our belt, giving us the knowledge and experience needed to hit the ground running. All we need now is a confident, creative and energetic individual to be part of the team. The new RPO arm will offer immersive, individual and tailored talent solutions to both new and existing clients. We need you to be tenacious, with a keen eye for detail and a hunger for progression. With one live RPO client already under our wing and a number of client presentations scheduled, we need someone with the confidence to independently visit clients, attend network events, and market, present and sell the solution to potential partners. To be successful in this challenging but rewarding role, you will need a holistic understanding of marketing principles in addition to exceptional commercial acumen, leadership and organisational skills. Identify new business opportunities with both current and new clients: building on existing relationships and mapping the market to generate leads, then creating, presenting and selling bespoke solutions to them. Work alongside and report to the Managing Director: you will schedule and attend meetings with the MD in addition to creating tenders and making bids for projects of work together. Have significant experience within an RPO / Talent Solutions role: a successful track record of building and maintaining a sales pipeline is essential. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a dynamic and growing leadership team (even if we do say so ourselves). If you want to work for an ambitious start-up, where your contributions will directly affect the future growth and success of this business, this is the role for you. By applying you will be registered as a candidate with Gleeson Recruitment Limited. Our Privacy Policy is available on our website and explains how we will use your data.

Is the siren call of all things marketing and digital reeling you in? We don’t mind if you’re powerless to resist. We do mind if you could take it or leave it. Gleeson Recruitment is collaborative in nature. KPI’s…they’re not really our thing. We like to stick to an absolute MAXIMUM of one: the target of how many meetings you make. There is no counting cold calls or totting up how many CVs have been sent out to clients. You don’t have to believe us, but we’re telling the truth. When we meet a client who’s looking to fill role regardless of sector, we’ll introduce them to all divisions (we don’t just fling them randomly from branch to branch like hot potatoes. More of an active listening to their needs/using our expert knowledge kind of deal). But how – we hear you ask in alarm – could this be? A recruitment firm without KPI’s? What kind of a depraved establishment are you running? What next? NO DESKS? NO CLOTHES? Easy…we’ve got oodles of desks, and the clothing policy is smart/casual (just to stress this: no clothes in the office is way, WAY too casual). What we’re after… This is a new division, which means there’s a lot to gain – but nowhere to hide! We’re after a confident type who’s at ease with the idea of building up a successful team. Some previous experience with CRM systems is vital. Experience with Bullhorn is better. When we talk about relationships in recruitment, we’re normally referring to people. But in this case, you’ll also want to have a good relationship with time. To keep all those wily minutes in check, you’ll need to stay ahead of the curve. Junior members will rely on your wise words of advice. Last time we checked; wisdom comes from experience; so, you’ll need to be a pretty damn capable recruitment consultant. You’ll be expected to set the precedent with your attitude. This means getting onboard with Gleeson Group values – that is, Fun, Flexible, Supportive, Collaborative and Family Oriented. As you might’ve gathered from our ‘Flexible’ value above, we think it’s fair to allow for some flexibility with your schedule. That being said, we’d still expect some pretty regular facetime in our Birmingham office (don’t worry, you’ll like them). We’re big on Corporate Social Responsibility because, well, it’s nice to be nice. Don’t get in touch unless you’re willing to do a splash of giving back from time to time. As we’re collaborative in nature, we expect you to join forces with other sectors. Whether this means passing leads to other functions, attending joint visits with colleagues, managing accounts on behalf of the wider business, or generally discussing Gleeson HR services with clients, it’s important you know that you’ll need to pool your resources. Finally, don’t be coy when it comes to engaging with our Gleeson Group branding on social media… So why is it worth applying? Brand – Gleeson was set up with the vision of creating a business founded on trust, transparency, and integrity. Culture & Environment – Our people have built a unique culture based upon support and trust, flexibility and collaboration and being family-oriented and fun! Because of this we can attract the best people to our business, who want to work in an adult environment and have a good time whilst doing so. Our brand spanking new offices aren't too bad either. Autonomy – We typically recruit experienced recruiters who don’t need to be measured by KPIs like call times, CVs etc and are looking for the respect and autonomy to run their own pods. Support – We have started an incredible journey and are keen for people to be a part of that. We are passionate about recruiting and about developing people to help them be the best they can be. Experience – We’ve done this before! All our new divisions have been started by experienced recruiters looking for a new ‘home’ where they can grow something special. Referrals – To date more than 80% of our workforce have come through a recommendation to come and work here which says a lot. Of course, we appreciate you may be in a ‘safe place’ right now, however, there is rarely a chance to build something special which you can make your own with the backing, investment and support from experienced leaders. We are one of the fastest growing recruitment business’ in the region and you won't just be a cog in a machine, but part of a collaborative and well-driven team that really cares about our business and our staff. For more information please contact Claire Summerfield clairesummerfield@workwithglee.com or call us on 0121 631 1751.

What kind of a depraved establishment are you running? What next? NO DESKS? NO CLOTHES? Easy…we’ve got oodles of desks, and the clothing policy is smart/casual (just to stress this: no clothes in the office is way, WAY too casual). Has this done us a disservice? Well, you tell us. Other than our team reporting some curious side-effects – weird talk of being happy at work, that sort of stuff – we’ve placed with round about 400 companies over the last year. We’ve also just won the Downtown in Business Recruitment Company of the Year Award *insert casual hair flip* but you know, whatever. It’s cool. We didn’t all literally weep with joy, or anything. Anyhow, enough waffle – you’ve got the gist, we hope. Let’s talk being a Recruitment Leader/Recruitment Manager for The Gleeson Group. Whilst our established Finance and Pharmaceuticals are fully functional with sector leading teams, we are now expanding our functional to mirror leading functions within our Birmingham office. We are interested in meeting experienced recruiters / team leaders with entrepreneurial qualities and networks in the following Thames Valley / South East markets: Marketing & Digital Built Environment Engineering Manufacturing IT/Technology Procurement & Supply Chain Human Resources Executive Search (any sector considered) What we’re after… You’ll need to lead a team. Yes, you – come on, don’t be shy. Seriously, though…don’t be shy. Not if you’re going to lead a team. Have you ever heard of a guru who claims to ‘get the gist’? Us neither. Just bear in mind that when it comes to industry know-how, a guru is exactly what we’re looking for. Much like romantic partners, businesses have needs. We want you to have an understanding of how to address those needs (in a commercial way, mind; not in a weird, intimate way. Don’t try to ‘spice things up’ in accounts, or anything). This is not a cold start up opportunity but an extension to established division and an opportunity to be grow your team as part of a rapidly expanding and exciting business. So why is it worth applying? Brand – Gleeson was set up with the vision of creating a business founded on trust, transparency, and integrity. Culture & Environment – Our people have built a unique culture based upon support and trust, flexibility and collaboration and being family-oriented and fun! Because of this we can attract the best people to our business, who want to work in an adult environment and have a good time whilst doing so. The offices are modern, with top of the range facilities and a great view of the prestigious Forbury Gardens! Autonomy – We typically recruit experienced recruiters who don’t need to be measured by KPIs like call times, CVs etc and are looking for the respect and autonomy to run their own pods. Support – We have started an incredible journey and are keen for people to be a part of that. We are passionate about recruiting and about developing people to help them be the best they can be.
