Early Careers Recruitment Consultant at Sanctuary Graduates & Apprentices

Role and Career Opportunities

Our client has an ongoing commitment to growth in terms of client acquisition, geographical reach, and evolution of their lines of business and service catalogue. To support these ambitions, they take on two cohorts of five junior sales consultants each year, in April and again in October.

Subject to meeting reasonable competency and performance targets, candidates can expect regular advancement on their journey:

• Initial Focus: Candidates will initially focus on candidate research and recruitment. After six months, they will be allocated to a line of business, allowing them to become specialist recruiters within that business or technology field. Training specific to the line of business will enable candidates to master their ability to converse confidently with client and internal specialists.
• Progression to Client-Facing Sales: After a period of 12–18 months, candidates can expect to begin their move into client-facing sales. They will be allocated a small number of clients specific to their line of business, starting with client research and progressing into full client engagement if the client is approved as a target.
• Closing Deals and Generating P&L: Once candidates close deals with clients (bringing master services agreements between the client and their company), they will begin to generate P&L. Subject to competency and revenue targets, they will complete their transition into sales. This phase is expected to take 18–24 months, during which they will be supported by senior sales leads, a deal architecture/pre-sales team, and subject-matter experts from within the delivery teams.
• Becoming a Fully-Fledged Sales Consultant: As fully-fledged sales consultants, individuals will be part of a smaller group of 10, recognized as some of the best in the world. They will manage their client portfolio and may be given an expanded scope of clients, allowing them to grow further. Depending on results, they may be allocated one or two strategic key accounts with the greatest potential for growth. These accounts are global and relevant for multiple lines of business, offering a significant portfolio that drives substantial P&L and earnings.

The most successful salespeople will have the opportunity to become Partners, gaining access to company stock granted annually based on a transparent assessment of contribution. Within the sales team, there are currently three Partners, all of whom came through the graduate programme, and two more are expected to be promoted in 2025. The sky is the limit for the most ambitious and driven candidates!

What Are We Looking For?

Commitment and Drive

Our client seeks highly motivated individuals with a strong desire to succeed and who are prepared to do “whatever it takes.” Problem solvers who can “find a way” to overcome challenges and who won’t give up when the going gets tough will thrive here. Success in this role requires time, dedication, and the development of skills necessary to operate independently and autonomously.

• These qualities are likely to have been developed and refined over many years, and our client will seek to understand what fundamentally drives each candidate, as this will be their key to success.

Communication and Charisma

• Successful sales consultants must be exceptional communicators with natural confidence in person-to-person interactions—ranging from phone calls to meetings with senior stakeholders. Charisma, likability, and an ability to build meaningful relationships based on respect and trust are critical.
• “People buy from people,” and our client values sales consultants who possess engaging and personable qualities.

Team Spirit

• Our client operates as a giant team with a family-style mindset. They have maintained a “small company” feel with excellent team spirit. Collaboration, support, and shared knowledge are integral to their culture.
• They seek individuals who align with their values, contribute to the wider community, and place the team before themselves. Evidence of teamwork and collaboration—whether academic, professional, or extracurricular (e.g., sports)—will be assessed.

Smarts

• Candidates should be highly intelligent, with both the desire and ability to learn. The role involves immersion into the complexities of financial markets, technologies, services, consulting, and sales. It requires a technical mindset and the ability to adapt as methods and techniques evolve in line with market developments.
• Ideal candidates will hold a first-class or 2:1 degree from Russell Group or internationally equivalent universities, along with a master’s or executive MBA. Real-world experience in technical sales or a related discipline is highly desirable.

Life at the Company

• Our client is an established business with the feel of a start-up. The base is at their Wrotham Park site, but as candidates develop into client-facing sales roles, they will spend time out of the office and enjoy opportunities for regular international travel.
• The Wrotham office is open-plan, energetic, and features an eclectic mix of music playing throughout the day. The office environment is casual and informal, with a flat hierarchy where even the most junior employees have access to the senior leadership team.
• The team is diverse and international, with a vibrant and youthful atmosphere. The culture is dynamic, busy, and fast-paced, but always friendly. Regular socializing outside office hours is a norm, and many senior team members have long-standing friendships within the company.

Training and Rewards

• Candidates can expect comprehensive initial and ongoing training within a well-designed, competency-based framework. Performance management tools ensure fair assessment and provide support in areas requiring development.
• Our client offers competitive salaries and one of the best commission structures in the market. The commission model is straightforward, rewarding consultants for the profit they generate. With no caps, earning potential is unlimited.
