“We are seeking the right people, not the right exact experience”. – Shropshire Trading.
Don’t worry if you have never traded in the FMCG industry, it’s not all about your past-experience, although transferable skills are important. Rather we are seeking the right personalities.
Passion. Above all we are seeking passionate people, people who are excited about working within a company established for 25 years, a company with strong environmental credentials, a company who seek continual improvement and offer innovative training, excellent career progression and a lively and engaging working environment.
Great communication skills. This job is all about building relationships, which are achieved through clear, concise and friendly communication. Not only in relaying information, but also in listening to, and understanding both suppliers and customers needs.
Negotiation. As a trader, negotiation skills are essential, therefore having the ability to look objectively, analyse and stratagise to use soft skill persuasion techniques to find the compromise is essential.
Confidence. It’s important to have confidence in your own ability, but also have the confidence to share ideas and opportunities (Such as a new seasonal market ideas). Or having the confidence to raise concerns or spotting potential shortcomings. Shropshire Trading have an excellent training programme, excellent passionate mentors, continual improvement sessions and a wealth of team experience, all of which will give you the confidence to do the job, however we are seeking people who are assured of their own ability. People with an optimistic outlook.
IT, Numeration and organisation. Shropshire Trading use bespoke CRM software to easily manage daily tasks, as well as the usual Microsoft Office suit packages. The job demands strong organisational and attention to detail skills. You don’t need to be a computer programmer, but the successful candidate will have demonstratable IT, math and organisational skills. Full training on all systems is given but the ability to retain information is essential.
Beeline Personnel will receive all applications. It is strongly advised to include a cover letter with your application, highlighting how you feel your skills and qualities match with those that we are seeking.
We look forward to receiving your applications.
I have had the pleasure of working with Jess from Beeline Personnel over the last few months. We would have no hesitation in recommending Beeline Personnel. From a fresh and innovative approach to recruitment with a great passion for customer service to going the extra mile. They get to know and understand the company, the culture and the requirements of the role to ensure only those who fit the bill are put forward.
Communication during the whole process was excellent.
Beeline Personnel provided us with an excellent service when we were looking for a senior member of our team. Their commitment to sourcing the right quality of candidate was borne out in the time they spent on site, making a short video about the role and meeting with our team.
It really felt like they understood our culture and therefore were able to provide with two high-quality candidates for the position. We will definitely be using them again as their approach was so much more innovative and effective than other agencies.
