Overview

Established in June 2018, Counted is a finance recruitment brand, based in Worcester. We work with both large household names and smaller local companies across the West Midlands to help them find the best Accounting talent. We place the best Accountants in the best businesses.

Our Mission

To build a leading Accountancy recruitment business, which is a pillar of the community where candidate experience is key. We will place the best accountancy talent into the best companies, where success follows as a result of quality service and clients are made to feel special.

Main Duties

Your job is to manage our full recruitment process, find new talent and help us fill roles. Alongside the resourcer, you will help recruit roles across the business, whilst keeping client care front and centre. The role itself is fast paced, very varied and mixes elements of customer service, inbound sales, administration and marketing.

You need to enjoy speaking to people! The role itself is a targeted and KPI driven role, but you will be given all the support you need to succeed. The role does have a sales element, so you need to be comfortable on the phone, but this is not a cold calling role. You will be calling clients that are known to us and operate in the accountancy & finance space. You are key to helping us keep our clients happy & managing our talent pipeline.

Desired Experience

The candidate will be a down to earth individual with real drive and ambition to succeed. The key and most important skills you will need to succeed is, drive, a strong work ethic and compassion for others.

Experience in a telephone based role previously is advantageous, as is any experience managing relationships of external customers or suppliers. But we have had real success with applicants who have come from any customer facing role such as hospitality, retail or marketing. Graduates have also been successful, but a degree is not a pre-requisite. Regardless, you will need to be comfortable regularly picking up the phone to new people!
