If you are interested in beginning a career in recruitment – whether as a career change or the start of your career - but aren’t sure how to break into it, ARM is a great place to begin: not least because it’s also a great place to remain.

We have found that we can successfully recruit professionals from other industries and graduates from a variety of backgrounds, providing they possess the right core skills that we can develop. This is largely down to the comprehensive induction and learning and development programme that we have established.

Of course, we are delighted to take on skilled recruitment consultants. However, we do not restrict ourselves to hiring people from specific backgrounds – it’s the skills, attributes and character that we look for. Certain professional backgrounds tend to prepare people well for recruitment – sales of any kind, account management and customer service, plus any of the industries for which we recruit, such as IT and Engineering, but this list is far from exhaustive. We have hired graduates from a variety of disciplines including business and marketing, languages, IT, and more.

New to recruitment or just new to ARM?

We do not feel it is necessary to have a specific graduate intake program because the training, leaning and development and mentoring that any new member of staff receives at ARM is aligned to ensure it is relevant to their needs.

However, we do occasionally take on local students, including mature students, on work experience placements. We deal with this on our Work Experience page.

To this end, we have two different induction programmes. One is geared towards people new to recruitment, the other towards established recruiters. Both ensure that our employees begin their career at ARM able to promote the ARM brand and ready to practice our professional, honest, and transparent style of recruitment or support.

New staff benefit from a great deal of support and development through a mixture of our L&D Manager, their direct Manager, their Head of Division, HR, relevant experts within the organization and, where a training need has been identified, external trainers. We also have a “buddy” system: new employees are allocated a mentor who will help them through their first few weeks here.

We’re very proud of the induction and support programme we have developed, and we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback about their induction period from people new to the company.
