Created for new starters in the recruitment sector, this training has been thoughtfully put together by employees at all levels across the Foundation team. It covers the fundamental knowledge, habits and behaviours needed to become a successful recruitment consultant in the real estate and placemaking arenas.
It’s an essential course that will give you three months of initial training which develops into a further three months of management support and encouragement. The training is 1:1 initially in a modular format where you’ll look at all aspects of sector specific recruitment, from recruitment tech and sector analysis up to candidate generation and interviewing skills. You’ll get the opportunity to put your new skills into practice and create meaningful recruiting relationships that will help shape your career.

During this training, we also encourage you to attend external business conferences and workshops to further your learning and skillset. At the latter stages of the programme, our Non-Executive Directors will be there to support and guide you on your management and leadership journey.
Aimed at recruiters who are working towards an Associate position and beyond, this recruitment training programme provides a blend of senior-level industry training provided internally, along with membership of various leadership mentoring programmes and external groups.
We aim to ensure our future recruitment leaders are equipped with the very best industry knowledge and practices to be able to steer Foundation Recruitment into the future. After all, our people are the foundation of our success.
The programme is specifically tailored to the individual and their intended career path and company role. This investment will enable you to play a major leadership role in the business. Foundation Recruitment’s UK Director was the first to successfully complete our Future Leaders Training and now sits on the company board.
