Work for Permanent People

Ever wanted to work in the Rec2Rec sector?

Permanent People began life on 2013, and since then the company has grown to three offices and been named on the official suppliers list to the recruitment industry, the only agency of our type with offices in both Cardiff, London and Bristol.

Operating nationally, and internationally, we work with many leading recruitment names from across the industry in many different sectors in locations from Wales to Australia, England to the USA.

What’s on offer?

As part of growth plans, Permanent People are looking to add a recruiter with experience to our Head Office team in Cardiff.

The company works in a very consultative way. There is no sales at all in what we do and you will be given clients to work on from day one, as we have numerous vacancies coming in on a daily and weekly basis.

There are no targets or KPI’s, so we are looking for someone who is self-motivated and wants to work in a grown up way. In other words, there’s no one standing over your shoulder micro-managing. You are left to do what you do best, speak with candidates, clients and build strong relationships with both, whilst maximising your opportunity to make placements with your commercial acumen.

We offer great working hours, team incentives (Sporting events, top restaurant nights out etc…) and a commission structure with no threshold at all and up to 20% of what you bill, to be earned.

Why are we different?

We aren’t. We are a Rec2Rec, and the only difference in what we do as opposed to other Rec2Rec’s is the people that work here, and they offer the real value to our candidates and clients.

Typical traits of a Permanent People recruiter:

  • Friendly
  • Motivated
  • Knowledgeable of the recruitment industry
  • Sense of humour
  • Takes responsibility
  • Pro-active
  • Treats people as you would want to be treated

Our thoughts

Today marks Permanent People's 11th year in business, a milestone we're very proud of.

Since we opened our doors back in 2013, we've been through lots of ups and downs, learned a lot and developed some great relationships throughout the recruitment industry.

We now operate across the globe, and have helped lots of recruiters find their new roles over the years. Some are now clients, others have relocated to a new country and we've also seen people get married and grow their families, which has been great to see!

The way we've always wanted Permanent People to be, is to take things personally and care about the people we work with, and we're extra proud that this still runs through our DNA today. 

If we treat people as we would want to be treated, give great service and actually, genuinely care about what we do - then I believe this is what has set us apart over the years.

Personally and professionally, this year has been a tough one, so we're really glad to have a great team in place that have been able to support each other and get on with things!

A company is only as good as the people that work within it, so on that basis, with Gemma Hill, Beth Long and Louise Reid in place, we are a world class business, and I'm very lucky to work with all 3 of them.

Here's to the next 11 years!!

Celebrating 5 years of the FABULOUS Louise Reid on our Team 🧡 🥳

Louise heads up all of our European hiring needs and actually made the move herself 3 years ago when she set up home in Amsterdam 🏠 

She’s a creative bubble of positivity and smiles! Clients and candidates form a loyal friendship with her, and over the years she’s become your ‘go to girl’ for matching both with their individual needs.

She is an instrumental part of the team and we’re SO lucky to have you! Here’s to many more happy, successful years 🎉 🍾
