Associate Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Financial Services (Accountancy Focus)

Are you looking for a career that rewards hard work, emotional intelligence, and natural people skills?

Thinking about recruitment – but want a role where you’re supported to grow, not thrown into the deep end?

This might just be your perfect next step.

Who’s this opportunity for?

We’re working with a leading specialist recruitment firm (with a brilliant culture) who are looking to hire an Associate Trainee Recruitment Consultant. This is a fantastic opportunity for either:

• A recent graduate who’s ready to kickstart their career, OR
• A second jobber (maybe you’ve been in sales, customer service, or admin, and feel ready to channel your experience into something more rewarding)

What’s the job?

You’ll be joining a team that recruits accountancy professionals into the financial services sector — think placing talented accountants into investment firms, asset managers, fintechs, and more.

Don’t worry if you don’t know much about finance yet — full training is provided. What matters more is your attitude, energy, and willingness to learn.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Sourcing and speaking to high-calibre candidates
• Supporting senior consultants on roles
• Building long-term relationships with clients and candidates
• Learning how the recruitment lifecycle works, from brief to placement

You’ll be joining a well-established team with a strong track record — so you’ll be learning from some of the best in the business.

What’s the culture like?

This is not a loud, corporate "Wolf of Wall Street" style agency. Think: supportive, down-to-earth, inclusive, and professional.

They’ve built a reputation for integrity, long-term thinking, and building meaningful relationships — and they want someone who shares that ethos.

They also offer:

• Clear, structured training and mentorship
• A collaborative, team-based approach (no elbows out!)
• Plenty of career progression — many of their senior team started in this very role
• Hybrid working after probation (usually 3 days in office / 2 from home)

What do you need to bring?

• A degree OR 6–18 months’ experience in a commercial role (sales, office support, hospitality, retail etc.)
• Great communication skills — both written and spoken
• A genuine interest in people, business, and building relationships
• Resilience, curiosity, and a proactive mindset

No previous recruitment experience is needed — just a willingness to learn and get stuck in.
