Frequently Asked Questions
Extremely quickly. As an immediate start role, the process is accelerated. Once you apply and pass our initial screening call (often same or next day), we can arrange a client interview within 24-48 hours. Successful candidates have started work within the same week of applying. This speed is a hallmark of our service, similar to how we fill urgent picker packer roles or healthcare shifts.
The initial engagement is a temporary placement through Quick Placement, typically for a minimum period (e.g., 3-6 months). However, the client's intention is very much temp-to-perm. They are using the temporary period to ensure a strong mutual fit. For the right candidate who performs well, a permanent contract with the client company is the expected outcome. This model offers both flexibility and long-term potential.
The process is efficient and two-stage: 1) Quick Placement Screening: A friendly 15-20 minute phone or video call with one of our consultants. We'll discuss your experience, suitability for the role, and explain the details. 2) Client Interview: A formal interview (usually via video call or in-person in London WC1) with the hiring manager. It will focus on your sales experience, approach to targets, and cultural fit. We provide full preparation guidance and feedback after each stage.
While prior experience in a similar B2B service environment is advantageous, the client is primarily seeking core sales skills: prospecting, closing, communication, and drive. If you have a proven track record in sales (even in a different sector like retail, telecoms, or hospitality) and can demonstrate your ability to learn new products/services quickly, your application will be strongly considered. Transferable skills are highly valued.
The role is based primarily at the client's offices in London WC1 (Bloomsbury/Holborn area), with some hybrid flexibility possible after an initial period. Standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. There may be occasional flexibility required for client meetings or events. The office is easily accessible via Tube (Central, Piccadilly, Northern lines) and mainline rail.
