Redline commences its fourth Recruitment Academy with 10 new Trainee Recruiters

05/02/19 Martin Crapper Managing Director

It’s not WHAT we do, it’s HOW we do it –this philosophy has never been more relevant than today, when the fourth edition of Redline’s Recruitment Talent Academy commenced their first week in their quest to become the next exceptional Technology Recruitment Consultants.

Redline launched its Recruitment Talent Academy in April 2017 as a part of the company’s strategy to continue their expansion of its existing 65+ team to 100+ by 2023.

The Talent Academy has been specifically designed to accelerate a Consultant’s recruitment career.

The 8-week training programme has been carefully created to enhance the skills of a Recruitment Consultant, through a fun and inspiring way of learning the recruitment process. The programme combines a mix of learning opportunities from classroom situations, to online platforms as well as on the job training, allowing individuals to embrace different learning techniques.

This is another huge step for Redline, building on the success of earlier academies. They have continued to invest in talent, technology and training, to ensure it is continually capable of delivering the specialist professionals demanded by this dynamic industry.

Martin Crapper, Redline Managing Director comments: “We’re confident our 35 years of experience, and the huge investment in creating the programme will provide each of them the best opportunity to shine. Redline is projecting growth again this year of 25%+ and there seems to be no slowdown.”

Redline’s Head of Training & Acquisition comments:

“One of the many factors which inspired the  Talent Academy was the need to develop Consultants with our knowledge-led approach. Our clients wouldn’t hire a person unless they understood the job, the business and the sector. And we don’t think a recruiter can find identify, attract, screen and select the right candidates for a vacancy unless they understand the same thing. Therefore our Talent Academy is focussed on core recruitment skills and a key emphasis on core industries and sectors we serve. This allows successful trainees to become passionate about the specific technology markets and segments we recruit for, which is essential in seeking out the talent required by our clients. Investing early and consistently in the people we believe in is a part of our commitment to helping talented individuals become tomorrow’s next exceptional technology recruiters.”

Commenting on the success of Redline’s first academy in 2017, Academy Graduate and now in his second year as Specialist Recruitment Consultant, Brett Longden said:

“I transferred from Professional football to Recruitment in 8 weeks and now after two years I am glad I chose to join Redline’s Talent Academy. It allowed me to develop the right attitude and hunger for success and this has been all been learned from the knowledge-led approach, skills and behaviours I have absorbed from my managers and colleagues.”

“I was delighted to be voted Employee of the Month for December by the Redline’s staff and senior management team for my outstanding contributions to client and candidate care and in recognition of my passion and dedication to Redline fellow employees. This just shows how you can transform your life to become a successful recruitment consultant.”

With our latest Academy set to prove the most successful yet, we’re quickly looking for the next group of talented recruitment Consultants to join us in May 2019. Successful candidates will be self-motivated, determined to succeed and demonstrate the resilience and tenacity that the role of technical recruitment consultant demands.
