Careers at Pearson & Partners: recruitment consultant

You take on your own market, speak with its specialists every day, and earn on the revenue you bring in. From our office in Amsterdam.

Open role

Recruitment consultant.

Amsterdam

€52,000 to €100,000+ OTE

Apply

A consultant at Pearson & Partners owns one or more markets, such as software engineering, data, or finance. You locate specialists, qualify them, and introduce them to clients. Then you guide both sides to an accepted offer.

Every call has one goal. A candidate call ends in an agreement to send a CV. A CV leads to a first interview, then a second, then an offer. Your week is measured in new first interviews.

What you do

  • Call and meet clients and highly educated candidates, every day.
  • Match candidates to roles on skills, level, and commute.
  • Manage your clients and candidates in the Pearson App, our own CRM.
  • Fill your own pipeline: you locate candidates and prospects in your market.
  • Write vacancies and campaigns, and put your strongest candidates in front of clients.
  • Win new clients in your market.
  • Plan interviews, offers, and start dates with both sides.

What we offer

  • Commission on the revenue you bill, with on-target earnings of €52,000 to €100,000+ a year.
  • International incentive trips with the team.
  • Training from your first day, in the Pearson App.

What we ask

  • A university degree (WO), or a higher professional degree (HBO) plus sales experience.
  • Commercial drive: you want to persuade people and close agreements.
  • The nerve to call a stranger and ask for a meeting.
  • Ownership of your results, in good weeks and bad ones.
  • Hours that follow the work. Candidates often have time before nine or after six.

Development and training

You learn the trade in the Pearson App.

Training holds the same method the senior consultants use on their own calls.

  • Basis: modules that take you from your first call to an accepted offer.
  • Assessment: tests per subject show what you master and what needs work.
  • Calltrainer: describe a situation from a call and get an answer from our own training material.

Our mission

For the people who work here, and those who apply.

For employees

Pearson & Partners is as strong as its consultants. So you get your own market, a method that works, and pay that follows your results. Every placement starts with a conversation with both client and candidate, and you lead both.

For applicants at Pearson & Partners

We treat you the way we treat our candidates: a clear process, an honest picture of the work, and a fast answer. Every applicant is different, so we look at what you have done and won, next to your CV.

For trainees

You learn the trade from consultants who do it every day, with training from your first day. You get your own market early and learn by doing: locating, qualifying, introducing, and helping a candidate accept an offer.
