Job description

Tempting Talent was founded in 2017 as the talent arm of Tempting Ventures, a recruitment-focused venture capital firm. Since then, Tempting Talent has grown to become the leading recruitment-to-recruitment business in the USA, working with top executive search, staffing, venture capital and private equity firms.

Our mission is to be the best in the world at what we do. Our consultants consistently outperform our clients’ teams, and we are committed to hiring the best graduates and experienced consultants to maintain this standard. We operate in one of the highest-value markets globally and are the number one supplier to America’s highest-performing recruitment businesses.

Why Tempting Talent is a great place to work:

• Earnings of up to 40% of revenue, subject to milestone achievement
• Best-in-class training: You’ll receive hands-on coaching from leaders who have scaled seven-figure desks and built teams from scratch
• Live sales practice & deal walkthroughs: Real-time, not theory-based – you learn by doing
• Proven playbooks & market insights: Understand how to sell into high-level clients from Day 1
• Expedited Leadership opportunities.
• Proven cases of £250k+ second year earnings.
• Be part of a Venture backed – Scaling group, which you can access earnings from.
• Travel opportunities to the USA

What we are looking for:

Your background speaks volumes. While a bachelor’s degree is preferred, neither a degree nor prior recruitment experience is essential.

Do you have:

• Exceptional organisational skills and excellent time management?
• Resilience and the ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure?
• A commitment to delivering high-quality work, with strong communication skills?
• Self-motivation, a passion for learning, and a curious mindset?
• Empathy and the ability to build meaningful relationships?
• A natural competitive spirit that drives you to succeed?
• A strong ambition to go above and beyond?
• The confidence to step outside your comfort zone?
• Building strong relationships with candidates and clients, adding value at every stage
• Conducting thorough research using available tools and your own initiative
• Developing your skill set through team collaboration, management support, and independent learning
• Becoming an industry expert by combining company knowledge, network insights, and personal research
• Competitive base salary with a leading commission structure
• Clearly defined promotion criteria, supporting progression into leadership roles
• Comprehensive benefits package, including life insurance, NHS Top‑Up Cash plan, and gym membership
• Monthly and quarterly incentives to reward outstanding performance
• Opportunities to explore new horizons, including relocation to the USA
