About SERT

SERT is a specialist recruitment business supporting the Technical and Green Energy sectors across the UK. We partner with innovative businesses and skilled professionals in fast-moving, future-focused industries, helping shape the workforce behind the energy transition and technical infrastructure markets.

We’re growing our Portsmouth team and are looking for ambitious, relationship-driven individuals who thrive in a fast-paced commercial environment.

You do not need previous recruitment experience for this role. We’re more interested in people with strong sales ability, confidence on the phone, emotional intelligence, and the drive to build long-term relationships.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be responsible for building relationships with clients and candidates across the technical and green energy markets. This is a contract recruitment role, meaning you’ll work in a dynamic, fast-moving environment where communication, organisation, and commercial awareness are key.

You’ll spend your time speaking with candidates and clients, understanding their needs, building trust, and matching the right people to the right opportunities.

This role is ideal for someone with a background in sales, business development, customer-facing roles, or any environment where relationship building and communication are critical.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop long-term relationships with candidates and clients within the technical and green energy sectors, becoming a trusted recruitment partner in your market
• Conduct outbound calls to generate new business opportunities and candidate pipelines
• Manage the full recruitment process from sourcing candidates through to placement
• Understand client hiring needs and provide consultative recruitment solutions
• Advertise vacancies and proactively source talent through multiple channels
• Maintain regular communication with candidates and clients throughout the recruitment process
• Negotiate offers, rates, and contractual terms
• Work towards individual and team performance targets
• Keep up to date with market trends and industry developments

What We’re Looking For

• Confident and comfortable speaking to people over the phone
• Naturally relationship-focused and able to build rapport quickly
• Commercially minded with a sales-driven mentality
• Motivated by goals, progression, and personal success
• Organised and proactive in managing your workload
• Resilient and positive in a fast-paced environment

We particularly value people who are

• Curious and inquisitive, always asking questions and seeking to understand
• Action-oriented with a strong bias for getting things done
• Adaptable and coachable, with a willingness to learn and evolve
• Self-starters who can thrive in a dynamic environment
• High in emotional intelligence (EQ), able to read situations and build trust effectively
• Driven by long-term relationships rather than short-term wins
• Possessing a growth mindset and a genuine desire to improve

Previous Experience

We welcome applicants from backgrounds such as:

• Sales
• Business Development
• Customer Service
• Estate Agency
• Retail or Hospitality Leadership
• Account Management
