Recruitment Consultants specialising in positions requiring languages are sought after. Language consultants typically find candidates for contract and permanent roles. Helpdesk Executives are especially sought after. Sales positions covering regional territories are also typical roles for a Languages recruitment consultant to search for. Many senior level management positions also require candidates with strong languages skills which ensure that language agencies work on a number of high fee earning, senior level appointments in addition to the more common entry level linguist roles.
Consultants focussing on linguists are typically based in London as the majority of language based positions are within a company's head office.
With an ever-increasing multi cultural society that we live and work in today language barriers are becoming less and less. The import and Export industry is growing rapidly and a great deal of businesses have foreign clients and counterparts, so having a second, third or fourth language in todays society is seen as a invaluable skill.
Communication is one of the most frequently mentioned words in recruitment. Studying a language clearly makes the candidate an excellent communicator, both orally and in writing. Employers, therefore, generally have a positive perception of language graduates or of people who have a second language. The candidates may also have spent periods of time abroad thus gaining an insight into another culture and adapting to new surroundings and people. Employers in all sectors will value these skills and experiences.
Working as a Recruitment Consultant within the Languages sector will provide you with the chance to liase and build relationships with people from other cultures and place them in a wide range of positions. Some of the vacancies Recruitment Consultants deal with in the Language sector include:-
French Speaking Sales Executive
Translator
Import and Export Executive
Account Manager

German speaking Engineer
Technical Consultant

Chinese Speaking IT Consultant
This again is a diverse sector and will allow the Recruitment Consultants to deal with a wide variety of vacancies whilst reaping the financial rewards of working in such a niche market area.
