Job description

Finishing uni this year and want a career that rewards your ambition?

If you're driven, confident, and want more than just a 9-5 - recruitment at g2 could be exactly what you need to kickstart a high-earning, fast-track career.

We're a specialist recruitment agency with a strong reputation across the UK and Europe, focusing on Engineering, IT, and Tech. Our Manchester team has a proven track record of developing top-performing consultants - people who came in with no experience and are now earning six figures.

What you'll get:

• Starting salary between £24,000-£24,750 + uncapped commission from day one (no thresholds)

• 1st year OTE £35-45k | 2nd year £50-70k | 3rd year £80-100k+

• A clear, structured progression plan - promotions based on performance, not time served

• Industry-leading training from our internal L&D team

• Monthly incentives (think lunch clubs and team nights out), holiday targets, and a genuinely supportive culture

What you'll be doing day-to-day:

• Business development: You'll build your own client base by reaching out to decision-makers in fast-growing Engineering and Tech companies across the UK and Europe. This is a sales role, so you'll be confident picking up the phone and pitching g2's recruitment services.

• Client relationships: Once you've built that trust, you'll work closely with your clients to understand what they're hiring for, what kind of candidates they need, and how you can help them grow their team.

• Candidate sourcing: You'll be headhunting skilled professionals using platforms like LinkedIn and our database. You'll write adverts, screen CVs, and conduct phone interviews to match top talent to your clients' vacancies.

• Process management: You'll manage everything from arranging interviews to negotiating salaries and securing offers. You're in control of the entire recruitment cycle, start to finish.

• Market building: Over time, you'll become an expert in your niche - spotting trends, identifying opportunities, and positioning yourself as the go-to recruiter in your space.

What we look for:

• Recent grads with the ambition to build a career, not just land a job

• Competitive, resilient individuals who want to be the best at what they do

• Strong communicators who are confident picking up the phone

• Motivated people who like being rewarded for hard work

We're hiring across Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, and London. If you're ready to step into a fast-paced role with serious earning potential - apply now and let's talk.
