Rilwood was set up to be a people focused company and as we grow this has become more and more important to us. To offer true personal development we set up in 2005 our own internal training department to deliver a wide range of training courses including a comprehensive two week induction course, ongoing phone coaching and advanced and innovative management training.

As a reward for the hard work of our employees in 2006 we instigated an ongoing incentive scheme with the entire company being flown abroad for a weekend when certain sales targets were hit. This has resulted in the company enjoying a number of entertaining trips abroad!

Consultant

As a consultant you will be responsible for dealing fully with clients and candidates. Being a successful consultant demands the highest level of self motivation and organisational skills coupled with great sales skills. With full responsibility for all contact with your clients you will need to be a true consultant adding value to your clients through sensible business and recruitment advice.

At Rilwood we recognise how challenging this role can be and all new consultants are assigned priority with the training department, given a senior consultant as a mentor and will work within experienced teams for managers with typically four or five years of industry experience.

The rewards are great for a consultant at Rilwood as we have no sales thresholds to meet. Consequently you make commission on every deal you bring in.

Manager

As a manager you will be responsible for dealing fully with both your own recruitment matters and managing a team of up to six consultants. Far more than managing your consultants you will act as a true leader and mentor.

We know that managers need support and all managers operate with the support of a division manager as well as direct access to the company directors. In addition you will receive first class management and team training on a wide range of activities.

Financially a manager is able to benefit from their teams success as well as being rewarded, as the consultants, with commission on every deal they have personally brought in.

Internal Testimonials

Working For Rilwood Associates LTD

New Consultant

I consider myself extremely fortunate to work for Rilwood. I started my career with Rilwood in 2006 as a trainee Consultant, based at our Leeds office. Since then I have progressed to a Business Consultant and I am thoroughly enjoying my new profession.

Rilwood is the benchmark of excellence. We have a reputation for solid business results, high ethical standards and an unrivalled customer service, this coupled with the extensive training program and management support really does make the whole experience worth while.

My life has changed dramatically since joining the company. I now drive the car I want to drive and go on the holidays I want to go on as my annual earnings have more than doubled. The incentives offered for achievement are fair and realistic, we were taken to Venice, Italy as a company for our Christmas meal which was amazing and was a fantastic opportunity to socialise with colleagues from other divisions.

I am looking forward to being the number 1 consultant within the company and having many outstanding years within a growing and solid environment.

Experienced Consultant

I have been with Rilwood Associates for nearly 2 years from having no experience in the recruitment industry previously.

From the very start of my career within Rilwood I have found them to be very supportive, from my initial induction to today the senior managers at Rilwood have always guided and supported me to help me be successful. I found the training to be very in-depth and insightful without being over complicated.

The initial reason I joined Rilwood was because they offered me a level of freedom within the working environment I personally craved, and this still stands true today. I like the fact Rilwood have given me the core competencies to be recognised as a good recruitment consultant while also allowing me the freedom to work in my own way and develop my own style.

If asked “would I recommend Rilwood Associates as an employer” my answer would be short and to the point “YES”

Manager

As Rilwood continued to rapidly grow the need to set up vertical markets became clear. Having spent over 4 years within FMCG recruitment I was headhunted to compose and orchestrate the development of an FMCG Team.  By being given the trust and freedom by the Directors to implement new processes, strategies and some new initiatives the FMCG team became one of the fastest growing teams in Rilwood’s history. We established ourselves as a major and significant brand within the FMCG Arena and are now associated with scores of leading UK and Global brands.

As a result of this success I was given the scope to continue my own business plan and 2 further teams have since been created focussing on Retail and Procurement. The Training & Development Department within Rilwood, very rarely available within recruitment these days, have been invaluable during this dramatic growth from induction courses for new consultants, to specific training courses, to assisting in the development of consultants becoming effective billing managers.  The hard work ethic within Rilwood and friendly warming environment has combined to create a thriving business unit with genuine career paths and fantastic rewards.
