Start your career in recruitment

If you’re looking for a career where you can really make a difference, then it’s worth considering how rewarding a career move into recruitment could be.

Why recruitment?

From working with our clients to find the right people to help their business thrive, to supporting candidates to secure them work – there’s always ways to make a difference when you work in the recruitment industry.

No day is the same in our branches, where you’ll find our busy recruitment, admin and compliance teams supporting our clients and chatting to our candidates. It’s a real team effort to find the right people to fill our vacancies, working in a role that gives you a lot of opportunity to gain new skills and experience.

Whether you’re searching for candidates to share with our clients, or undertaking all the necessary compliance checks to onboard new starters – there’s always the chance to learn and develop your career.

Why join NRL?

We’ve delivered recruitment expertise for our clients since 1985, so there’s nothing we don’t know about recruitment. What’s more you’ll find so many colleagues across our Recruitment branches who have been with us for decades – ready to share their knowledge and insight to help you grow your own career.

Through an independent and anonymous survey of our workforce, we discovered that 97% thought the NRL Group is a great place to work, and 98% felt they were given the resources and equipment to do their job. An overwhelming 99% felt they were made to feel welcome when they joined the company, so you can be confident that you’ll be working with a fantastic team in a certified™ Great Place To Work®.

You’ll benefit from a structured training programme, together with the chance to undertake formal training through the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) – so there will be plenty of opportunity to continue learning.

“I started my career as a Recruitment Clerk and worked my way up to Senior Recruitment Consultant - the industry has great opportunities and career progression. It is very rewarding and you really make a positive impact on people’s lives - you genuinely make a difference. You speak to a wide variety of contacts across all different sectors and build long-term relationships - no day is the same. I would definitely recommend a career in recruitment.”

We’re committed to building an inclusive business

Many of our Recruitment Consultants are Inclusive+ Recruiters, something which they have worked hard to achieve through formal training before putting their knowledge into practice. Working with our clients we know what a difference it makes to build diverse and inclusive teams, that help to drive forward ideas and innovation within a business.

Everyone is different, which we see as a great thing. That’s why we take the same approach when we’re recruiting for new colleagues to join our own teams. Welcoming applications from all walks of life, hoping to remove the barriers that can often deter people from applying. If you’d like to work in recruitment, then we’d like to hear from you.
