About Vivid Resourcing:

Founded in 2009, Vivid now has 11 offices across the UK, Europe, and the USA. Today, we rank in the top 1% of recruitment companies worldwide.

What makes us different?

• Career progression based on performance, not tenure - every manager started as an entry-level consultant, with average promotions in just 12-18 months.
• Award-winning training - a structured five-week induction, plus ongoing coaching from four on-site Learning & Development specialists in Manchester.
• A high-performance culture - based in the heart of Spinningfields, you will thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative and ambitious environment.

What You\'ll Do

This isn\'t just a job - it\'s the chance to build your own business within our business from day one:

• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process - from winning new clients to placing top talent.
• Source and interview candidates through headhunting, networking, and market mapping.
• Build industry expertise and long-term professional relationships.
• Negotiate offers and close deals to achieve — and exceed — sales targets.

What We\'re Looking For

We hire for potential, not experience:

• Recent graduates with drive, ambition, and resilience.
• Character over credentials - the right mindset matters most.
• Competitive, hardworking, and motivated to succeed.
• Confident communicators with strong interpersonal skills.
• Advantageous but not essential: experience in sales, customer-facing roles, or competitive sports.

Rewards and Benefits

• Competitive basic salary + uncapped commission (earn £100k+ within 3 yrs).
• Clear, structured progression path all the way to director level.
• Monthly Michelin-star company lunches, quarterly 5-star holidays and regular team socials.
• Private pension plan and cycle-to-work scheme.
• Discounts across Manchester's best restaurants and bars.
• Employee Assistance Programme, including free online counselling sessions.
• Half-day off on your birthday.
• Free eye tests and seasonal flu jabs.
