Job description

Good salespeople get bored fast. If you're chasing a role where your output decides your pay, this is worth a look.

Connexus Recruitment is a national consultancy built around the Built Environment - Engineering, Architecture, Construction, Project Management, Development and Sustainability. Since 2020 we've made 500+ placements and hold a 95.6% candidate retention rate after twelve months, the kind of number that wins repeat clients rather than one-off jobs. We've been named Best Agency for Engineering Recruitment in NSW five years running, and Australia's Agency of the Year for Engineering in 2023.

We're growing, and looking for two trainee recruitment consultants to join us in October.

We want people who are genuinely good with people - from sales, customer service, call centres and client-facing roles and ready for more.

You don't need recruitment experience. You need drive, curiosity and the ability to build trust with someone in the first five minutes of a conversation.

What you'll actually be doing

Part relationship management, part sales, part solving problems on the fly.

• Winning new clients and managing the ones you already have
• Talking daily with candidates about their next move
• Juggling live roles, interviews and deadlines at once
• Recruiting across engineering, construction, trades and infrastructure

No day looks the same. You could be telling a candidate they've landed their dream job one hour and closing a new client the next.

Where your background fits

• Account management, B2B sales or client relationship roles
• Call centre, admin or scheduling work with too many plates spinning
• Customer service where you were the one people asked for by name
• Any role built around targets, KPIs or bonuses
• A trade or labour background where you preferred the people to the tools

If you're personable, confident on the phone and motivated by building relationships as much as the money and progression, this will suit you.

What you get

• Base salary plus uncapped commission
• 5 weeks leave plus quarterly mental health days
• A clear path to promotion, not a vague one
• Training and mentorship from people who've done it and still do
• Team incentives, trips and a genuine social culture
• A ceiling that only exists if you stop trying

Genuinely curious about people. Doesn't take a knockback personally. Organised when things get messy. Wants to earn more and is willing to put the work in to get there.
