Join Life at Proactive

Are you looking for a job in recruitment?

Come and join a passionate team of dedicated people who deliver an exceptional recruitment service to our clients, from 12 branch offices across Shropshire, the West Midlands and North West.

We’d love for you to join us and share our passion for people. Being driven to succeed is part of our fabric, and sharing in each other’s success is at the very heart of our culture.

Whether you’re looking for your first job in recruitment as a trainee or you’re an experienced recruiter with a solid agency background, you’ll feel right at home as a member of the Proactive family.

Your New Job in Recruitment with Proactive

No two days are the same as a Recruiter at Proactive Personnel. You’ll be a natural people person with a flair for outbound sales and relationship management. You’ll be working in a busy office environment as part of a dedicated team in one of our branch offices, generating new business and recruiting people across the region aligned with your core sector.

We encourage our people to think differently and build on their potential. So we’ll give you the opportunity to join an existing recruitment desk, or build your own vertical market desk. Using our dedicated in-house and external sourcing tools, you’ll find and interview candidates, and work with them until they’re successfully placed in a new role.

Focussed Career Progression

A job in recruitment isn’t just a job, it’s a step towards a brand new career. We know that career success means different things to different people. That’s why we’ve worked hard over the years to develop a career plan for every one of our recruitment consultants, to ensure they’re on the path to their own version of career success.

You’ll have regular reviews and branch support from your Branch Manager, Regional Director and other experienced recruiters. You’ll also work to realistic targets for which you’ll be very well rewarded when you smash them (which we’ll help you do!)

We have a proven history of promoting internally. In fact, all of our directors started in the business as recruitment consultants and have worked their way up through the ranks.

What Our People Say...

I love working at Proactive because no two days are ever the same. The best part of my job is the close-knit team I work with daily; we're always there to help each other and provide support when needed.

Proactive Personnel are a great company to work for, they're extremely supportive and help you to achieve all of your career goals. The company has given me the chance to succeed and build the career I've always dreamt of. There is no better feeling than when you help a candidate into the next step of their employment. They really are the best company to work for.

I have been with Proactive Personnel for 9 years and I absolutely love working here! I started as a trainee consultant at 19 and have worked my way up to becoming a senior manager. What I love most about my job are the opportunities I have been given and the support I have from the business. Looking forward to the next 9 years here!

Talking about why I love my job is easy for me 🙂 I had worked in administration previously and I've always been very conscious that I'm not actively bringing in revenue for the business. At Proactive, even though I don't directly make money per se, I'm always made to feel important and appreciated. I can see day to day how the work I do helps my colleagues and my value in the team. Also, Proactive works around its employees and has helped me to not only have a career that fits around me but really value the work that I do.

The best thing about my job is working with fantastic candidates and clients and building relationships with them both. It's great when a candidate gets their dream job and a client fills their role with an amazing candidate. Relationship building is the best part of the role at Proactive!

I have been with Proactive for almost 5 years now, starting as an Apprentice Admin and progressing into a Principal consultant managing an amazing team of some incredibly talented consultants. I feel incredibly lucky to work for a company where everyone is supported to achieve, and gender equality is never an issue. I learned from two amazing managers (Kerry and Sammy), who were both female and always made me feel valued and to speak up for what I want.
