KEY BENEFITS
Why choose this programme?
Set up every consultant for success. Recruitment is a tough industry to break into. Without structure, consultants with less than six months’ experience can quickly lose confidence, drain managers’ time, and struggle to deliver results. Our Rookie Programme fixes that.
Key benefits:
-
Government funded – Access up to £7,000 of government funding per new hire, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to train and develop your rookies.
-
Level 3 Recruiter qualification included – Every participant works towards a nationally recognised Level 3 Recruiter Development Programme– adding credibility to their learning and value to your business.
-
Quick results – 12-week intensive training, followed by a tailored 5 month building-phase – Our structured programme accelerates the rookie’s journey to billing with an intensive 12-week start-up phase and with learning completed in only 8 months.
-
Practical, real-world learning that sticks – Training is designed around live recruitment activity, so rookies immediately apply what they learn on the job – embedding skills faster and improving long-term performance.
-
Lightens the manager training load – With ready-made resources, review packs, and just around an hour a week of oversight required, we make it easy for your managers to support rookie’s development without sacrificing their own productivity.
Don't just take our word for it.
