Offer for interview for a Recruitment Consultant position...

JohnnyNeumonic

Out of the blue this morning I got a phone call asking me if I would be interested in a recruitment consultant position. Now, I never applied for this job, I applied months ago for an entirely different position. I'd never even thought about this as a career, but tbh when she mentioned the salary on offer and the potential for bonuses, there's no way I could say no to the interview. Now I've looked at the position on the company website and had a quick look at the company, but is there anything specfically that people are looking for in a recruitment consultant? I've some sales/marketing experience, but I wouldn't mind knowing what kind of stuff they might ask and if there are any stock Q&As with this type of position.

Also, she said that the salary would effectively double to €50,000+ if targets were met, which she reckons were very realistic. Now I obviously wouldn't know what they were, but is this kind of salary realistic for this position? TBH I don't know of many relatively recent grads getting this kind of money and I'm weary she's spoofing me. I'd appreciate any input here.

Hi I was just wondering which agency you have the interview for because I have one too and have pretty much the same questions as you.:D

Maybe I'm just a better negotiator. It's all about getting the bluff just right

".....It's all about getting the bluff just right.....". That would be a great tag line for any Recruitment Company advertisement
