How do they differ?
Ultimately – they are both sales positions.
Where being an SDR is focused on selling a product, recruitment is more focused on the relationship building aspect, where you will be communicating with candidates and clients to find the best outcome for both parties. The result of placing individuals into a position where they can have a lifelong career, whilst also helping your clients find the right hires to grow their business, is extremely rewarding.
Experience as an SDR is extremely transferable and widely desired within Recruitment firms as both environments are highly competitive, fast-paced, target orientated and require a strong work ethic.
What will the role entail?
On the candidate side:
writing job ad’s
screening candidates over the phone
shortlisting opportunities and prepping candidates for interviews
organising interviews and collecting feedback
offer management
ensuring successful completion of probation period.
On the client side:
outreach to new clients to obtain business
negotiating terms, signing contracts, being briefed on requirements for open positions
actively hiring and consulting clients at every stage.
What are the perks?
Incredible earning potential – through an uncapped commission structure, earning 6 figures in your 3 rd year in is highly achievable!
Learning and development opportunities – opportunity to learn on the go through programmes tailored to you
Fast tracked career progression – you can manage your own team by the end of 2 nd year. Full progression to director level
Fun work environment and culture – holiday incentive trips to Ibiza, Dubai and Val d’Isère, monthly lunch clubs at top restaurants in London and a collaborative work culture
