Careers with Abraxas
At Abraxas it's not just a job ... it's a career!
We select candidates with a strong background in business to business sales, and the most important qualities that we look for in a new recruit are the ability to empathise with people, and, therefore, understand clients' and candidates' needs. Previous recruitment experience is highly regarded but not essential.
The initial training process consists of a combination of several days "classroom" training covering topics such as the recruitment life cycle and the technical development life cycle. Thereafter training is conducted at the desk, and through ongoing training courses. Courses may be targetted to meet individual needs, or provided to larger groups to help our consultants develop continually.
Abraxas takes sales people and gives the right training to develop quality recruitment consultants. Our focus is on developing rounded, professional consultants who have strong sales ability combined with excellent understanding of the recruitment and IT marketplaces.
In addition to learning the full 'Recruitment Life Cycle', each trainee learns how to sell other Abraxas service lines; how to build and develop relationships with key clients; questioning techniques and negotiation skills; and gains a full understanding of our fee structure.
Every consultant has a weekly meeting with their Team Leader, a monthly goal setting meeting, two annual reviews, and the opportunity to increase their basic pay through sales success.
Abraxas has a policy of promoting internally, and offers additional training in Team Leading, Management and Motivation; futhermore we have a Senior Recruiter programme covering Account Management, Presentation and Negotiation skills.
Abraxas aims to provide the best quality service by hiring and developing the best talent in the recruitment industry! Why not give us a call today, and find out more about the exciting opportunity Abraxas has to offer you?
