Why recruitment?

• No late nights, weekends, or bank holiday trading

As a Recruitment Consultant, you will:

• Partner with premium fashion and lifestyle brands to support their hiring
• Source, interview, and place top retail and head office talent
• Build long-term candidate and client relationships
• Manage the recruitment process end-to-end, like running your own business
• Be rewarded for results through commission and career progression

Full training is provided - we'll teach you recruitment. You bring the industry insight, drive, and people skills.

What we're looking for

• Experience as a Store Manager / Senior Assistant Manager (premium or luxury)
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• Ambition to grow, earn, and progress
• Passion for fashion, lifestyle, or consumer brands
