Job description

Position Overview

Centurion Selection is hiring an Associate Consultant to join our London team, supporting our US construction desk. This is a delivery-focused role, sourcing, screening and qualifying candidates for construction clients across the US market while working alongside experienced consultants who manage client relationships.

The role is designed as a genuine springboard into a full 360 recruitment position. Within six months, the successful candidate will begin taking ownership of their own clients and managing the recruitment cycle from start to finish.

One of the key features of the role is the 11am to 8pm schedule, which aligns with US time zones. For many people, this offers a great balance: a more relaxed start to the day, time for personal commitments in the morning, and a commute outside of peak rush‑hour traffic. It's a structure that suits individuals who enjoy a later start and are excited by the opportunity to work closely with the US market.

Responsibilities

• Source candidates across multiple channels including job boards, LinkedIn and referrals
• Screen CVs, run preliminary calls and assess candidate skills, experience and motivations against live roles
• Build and maintain candidate relationships, providing guidance and feedback throughout the process
• Work alongside Consultants and Account Managers to understand client briefs and shape sourcing strategy
• Coordinate interviews, manage scheduling across time zones and keep communication moving between candidates and clients
• Support offer negotiation, ensuring candidate expectations and client requirements line up
• Keep candidate records and activity accurate and current in the CRM
• Track market conditions, competitor activity and hiring trends across US construction

What We’re Looking For:

Essential:

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to build meaningful relationships with candidates and clients.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment.
• Comfortable working 11:00am to 8:00pm and engaging with clients and candidates across the US market.
• Motivated, resilient and eager to learn, with a genuine interest in building a long‑term career in recruitment.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and comfortable working with recruitment and business systems.
• A collaborative team player who can also work independently and take ownership of their responsibilities.

Beneficial:

• Degree or equivalent experience
• Previous recruitment, sales or customer‑facing experience
• Any exposure to construction, property or the built environment

What We Offer:

• Competitive £30,000 base salary, plus uncapped earning potential through a flat‑fee commission structure on assisted placements.
• A clearly defined pathway to a full 360 Consultant role within six months, with the opportunity to build and manage your own desk.
• A comprehensive benefits package, including pension contributions and generous annual leave.
• An additional day of annual leave to celebrate your birthday.
• Ongoing training, mentorship and structured professional development designed to accelerate your career.
• Regular team socials, including annual summer and Christmas events.
• A collaborative and supportive environment where performance is recognised and career progression is genuinely achievable.

For someone with ambition, curiosity and a strong work ethic, this role offers the chance to accelerate your career and take ownership of your success.
