10th February 2020
Jake is a Resourcer here at Niyaa People, working on the Real Estate desk. Our Marketing Assistant Laura sat down with him to talk all
Thinking of working in Recruitment in Birmingham?
We are a young, ambitious and continually expanding business, we wake up every day with the mission to be the Recruitment Agency of choice within our sectors. So whether you’re looking for Graduate jobs, are an experienced Recruitment Consultant or just wondering what it’s like to work in recruitment. You’re in the right place.
We have a treasured culture within our offices, which can’t be summed up into words, it’s something you just have to experience for yourself when you join us.
Sounds cliché?
Something which everyone says but doesn’t necessarily have?
Well we do, and we’re very proud of it.
But there’s a whole lot more, keep on reading…
Our Divisions
We have 5 core divisions, all with consultants specialising within their own niche sector.
- Consultancy: Engineering, Building Services, Architecture & Design, Commercial Real Estate
- Social Housing: Housing Management, Asset Management, Supportive Housing, Office Support
- Trades & Labour: Public & Private sector

A whole new world
We still believe in picking up the phone and building relationships with our customers, because it still works.
What we understand, that working in recruitment, it’s not enough anymore, which is why we research and invest in the latest tech to help you with your job.
We’ve invested in N.vue, the latest online video interview software, a bespoke built CRM with years of unique development work and a mobile app to make life easier for our customers.

Learning & Development
The questions we receive the most of when doing interviews is about what we offer for training, learning, development and progression.
We’re very proud of the L&D programme we’ve build which is why we’ve dedicated a whole page explaining what we offer.
I started Niyaa People with zero recruitment experience, zero office work experience, and zero sales experience. Within the first three months Gary had trained me through a rigorous 20 module training program, covering everything I need to flourish as a Recruitment Consultant. This included approaching candidates and clients, how to lead conversations & collate information, and ultimately how to discover talent to help shape the future. There would be weekly feedback appraisals, where we would discuss my performance for the week, how to improve and outline a structured target for the following week, which helped keep me on track with my progress. Finally we would discuss how to implement the small changes that would help make me a more complete recruiter. Gary was, and still is always on hand to offer advice, guidance and to bounce ideas off whenever needed, and has played a major part in making me a successful Recruitment Consultant here at Niyaa People.
Trainee Consultant
Recent graduate? Working in sales? Or just good at talking to people? You could be good at recruitment - we can teach recruitment, we can't teach passion.
Experienced Consultant
Found your way into recruitment, but not sure if you've found your home? Does our culture seem to fit who you are? Come and speak to us.
Billing Manager
They say the Billing Manager is the hardest role in recruitment. So we make sure to offer unlimited support, autonomy to manage your team in your style and help you take your career where you want.
Industry Expert
We've got an ex Electrician and Engineer in the team. If you want to move out of the Built Environment but not sure what to do. Why not recruit into your area of expertise?
