Job Description:

At Zest, we don't just "do" recruitment - we transform careers and strengthen teams in one of the UK's most vital industries: Food Manufacturing. We've spent over 20 years building the most trusted recruitment brand in the sector, and now, we're looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant who's hungry to be the best. This is not a back-office role. You'll be on the frontlines - hunting, headhunting, and building relationships within Food Manufacturing's most in-demand professionals.

Job Responsibility:

  • Build and nurture relationships with high-performing candidates in the food industry
  • Search across job boards, LinkedIn, internal CRM, referrals and social platforms to find the best talent
  • Conduct detailed phone and video interviews, qualifying candidates for live roles
  • Partner with Senior consultants to help fill high-priority vacancies
  • Support candidates throughout the process - coaching for interviews, negotiating offers, and guiding through resignations
  • Record candidate insights with precision in our CRM, helping us maintain our legendary reputation for detail and quality

Requirements:

  • A natural people-person: you love asking questions, listening, and learning about others
  • Grit, determination, and a work ethic to match
  • Excellent communication: on the phone, on email, and face-to-face
  • Someone who thrives in a high-performance environment and wants to fast-track their career
  • Bonus if you've worked in retail, customer service, sales or call centres - but attitude is everything

Nice to have:

Bonus if you've worked in retail, customer service, sales or call centres

What we offer:
  • £250 per placement on your director's desk - with potential to increase as you grow
  • Industry-leading training and mentoring
  • After 12 months, you'll be ready to step up into a Consultant role - managing your own clients and deals
  • Be part of a team that celebrates success: past summer parties in Ibiza, Friday drinks, quarterly lunch clubs, and much more
  • Hybrid working, private healthcare, pension, birthdays off, and gym membership
  • Work in our bright, open-plan Stamford HQ, overlooking the meadows - voted one of the happiest places to live in the UK
