Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As an Apprentice Recruitment Consultant at Perfect Placement UK, I mainly focus on sourcing candidates through daily searches on various job boards to support our recruitment consultants in placing suitable candidates with their clients. I also post live vacancies across our website and job platforms, manage incoming calls from clients and candidates, and assist with ad hoc and administrative tasks to support the wider team.
I’m looking forward to continuing my development and progressing into a Recruitment Consultant role, building on the strong foundation I have gained so far.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy my apprenticeship programme at Perfect Placement UK. It gives me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in recruitment while also learning the theory behind it through my studies. I particularly enjoy sourcing candidates and carrying out daily searches on job boards, as it allows me to develop my research and communication skills.
Being part of a team that helps place people into roles is very rewarding, and the programme is helping me build the knowledge and confidence I need to progress into a Recruitment Consultant role in the future.
