Recruitment Training for New Starters

Hiring a trainee recruiter is easy.
Turning them into a confident, productive consultant? Not so much.

At NBS Training & Coaching, we deliver recruitment training built specifically for new starters — practical, real-world onboarding that helps them hit the ground running.

Because “learn on the job” only works when the job is done right.

What’s Covered

Our training is tailored to your agency’s sector and team, but typical modules include:

Recruitment foundations (what we do and why it matters)

Understanding the recruitment cycle

Resourcer vs. 360: how the roles differ

Client & candidate communication

CV presentation and shortlisting

Candidate qualification techniques

Introduction to sales calls

The sales mindset: resilience, confidence, structure

Common recruitment challenges & mistakes

Communication styles & rapport building

Questioning frameworks

Your agency’s USP/UVP (not just parroting scripts)

All designed to shorten the time between desk and billings.

Delivery Formats

We offer recruitment training in multiple formats:

Live Online: One-day session (09:00–15:00), ideal for remote onboarding

Two-part programme: Shorter sessions over 2 weeks (for better absorption)

In-person delivery: Available UK-wide for group induction

Every format includes:

Pre-workshop questionnaire

Printable PDF workbook

Group activities & real-world examples

Follow-up materials and support

We can also include sales-specific bolt-ons or build a 12-week follow-up training plan.

Who It’s For

Trainee recruiters in construction, property or engineering

Resourcers stepping into delivery or 180 roles

Junior team members lacking structure or confidence

New hires who need onboarding fast — without babysitting

We adapt content based on team size, format, and experience level.
