ARE YOU TOO GOOD AT YOUR JOB TO GET PROMOTED?
You have a strong billing record. You know your market, your clients trust you, and you can fill vacancies that other recruiters struggle with. So why does it feel as though you are standing still?
Perhaps you've been promised progression, but every time a management opportunity comes along, the business needs you to keep billing. Perhaps you've been given extra responsibility without the authority, training, salary or support to make a success of it.
There is a problem with being a good recruiter in some businesses. Your success becomes their excuse for keeping you exactly where you are. And if you do get promoted, what happens next? Are you given the tools to become a great manager, or simply expected to work out how to manage people while maintaining your own billing target?
At Parker Smith Inclusion, we believe your career should be about so much more than how much you bill this month.
We want good recruiters to develop, take on new challenges and build careers that reflect their ability and ambition. We invest in training, encourage people to develop their strengths and recognise that the skills required to recruit successfully are not necessarily the same as those required to lead a team.
Our Parker Smith Inclusion Academy (PS iLearn) is part of that commitment. Development doesn't stop when you finish your initial training, and it certainly doesn't stop when you become experienced.
We work in SEND education recruitment, where the work we do has a real impact. That deserves people who are motivated to become better at what they do, not just better at hitting a monthly target.
We're not suggesting that everyone needs to become a manager. A successful career can take different directions. But you should have the opportunity to decide what comes next, rather than have your billing figures decide for you.
So, what's your next move?
If you're an experienced education recruiter who wants to keep progressing, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
No sales pitch. No pressure. Just an honest discussion about what a career at Parker Smith Inclusion could look like.
