We don't hire based on experience. We hire based on ambition, personality and potential.

If you're competitive, motivated and looking for a career where your success is directly rewarded, we'd love to hear from you as we are hiring for our 2027 Graduate Scheme NOW!

What You'll Be Doing

This isn't a typical graduate role where you're waiting years to make an impact.

From the beginning, you'll be trusted with real responsibility and will build your own specialist market within one of our global sectors. You will:

• Partner with industry-leading businesses to help them find top talent.
• Build relationships with senior executives and professionals worldwide.
• Identify and headhunt high-performing individuals for leadership positions.
• Manage the full recruitment process from introduction to placement.
• Develop your own client portfolio and generate new business opportunities.
• Build commercial, sales and negotiation skills that will benefit you throughout your career.

Think of it as running your own business with the support, training and resources of an established global organisation.

Who We're Looking For

You might be a good fit if you're:

• Competitive and driven to succeed.
• Confident communicating with new people.
• Proactive and relentless.
• Resilient and motivated by challenges.
• Looking for rapid progression and high earning potential.
• Eager to learn and develop professionally.
• Interested in business, sales, entrepreneurship or recruitment.

A Career Built on Development

Our business is built around developing graduates into future leaders.

Unlike many organisations, we prioritise internal promotion, meaning the people managing teams and leading businesses tomorrow are often the graduates joining us today.

We invest heavily in training, development and mentorship because we believe our people are our greatest asset. If you're looking for a challenging, rewarding and high-growth career, Mackenzie Stuart could be the perfect place to start.

We also give people the opportunity to set up and become directors of their own company. Example companies include; Irving Knight Group, Atrio Search, Indenovo Global, Novaris Search, George Thomas, Sectr Partners, Optify Search, TH Daniels, Aire Search etc.

Why choose this over a graduate scheme?

£50,000 average earnings in your first year with top performers clearing 6-figures. You get the opportunity to take ownership and have real responsibility from day one. Faster progression than most corporate programmes. Work directly with Senior Executives and global businesses. You get to build commercial, sales and leadership skills from the outset.

All applicants must have the full right to work in the UK, without sponsorship. Due to the large number of applications if you have not heard anything within 14 days then unfortunately you have been unsuccessful.
