Who We're Looking For

We're looking for people who have already demonstrated that they can work hard, perform under pressure and achieve results.

Your experience could be in:

• Hospitality
• Sales
• Sports coaching or sports-related roles
• Education
• Customer service
• Other fast-paced or performance-driven environments

We're not looking for graduates who simply have a degree.

We want people who have already demonstrated a strong work ethic.

• Experience in a fast-paced environment
• Demonstrated career progression
• A track record of achievement
• Experience dealing with people, customers or clients
• Transferable skills that can be applied to sales and recruitment
• The ambition to build a successful career

You don't need previous recruitment experience.

What matters is whether you have the drive, resilience and ability to succeed.

The Mindset

This role requires someone who is:

• Resilient
• Confident
• Competitive
• Self-motivated
• Ambitious
• Hard-working
• Results-driven
• Comfortable under pressure
• Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment

You will experience challenges, rejection and demanding targets.

But if you have the right mindset, the rewards can be significant.

Hard work. High reward.

• Build your sales and negotiation skills
• Develop new business opportunities
• Manage and grow client relationships
• Work in a competitive, target-driven environment

You’ll have the training and support to develop - but your ambition and performance will determine how far you progress.

Career Progression

Once you've completed the Impact Academy, you'll progress into a full recruitment and sales role, developing specialist skills across:

• Business development
• Sales
• Negotiation
• Margin management
• Client acquisition
• Account management
• Candidate attraction
• Relationship management
• Leadership

At Tradewind, progression is based on performance, not simply time served.
