Job description

TRAINEE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT | SPECIALIST TECH RECRUITMENT | CITY OF LONDON

Start date: January 2027

Location: City of London, Bank

Package: Base salary negotiable on experience, plus uncapped commission

Realistic first-year earnings: £40,000 to £50,000

Graduated recently, or sold something before and want more from it?

We are hiring trainees onto our sales floor in the city. No recruitment experience needed. What you earn here is decided by your drive and your results and nothing else.

What we are looking for:

• Driven. You want the scoreboard, and the top of it.
• Resilient. Long cycles and hard weeks do not knock you off.
• Confident. You build rapport fast, on the phone and in a room.
• Curious. You will learn one market properly rather than skim five.
• Ambitious. You want more than a job, and you will go after it.

Sales experience helps. A degree helps. Neither is essential. We hire for appetite.

Who we are:

Enertek Group places specialist people into enterprise change programmes across Europe, the Middle East and the United States.

We work through four dedicated desks, each led by someone who lives in that market: SAP, Microsoft, Cyber and Cloud Security, and Manufacturing Leadership.

Our clients are Industrial Manufacturing and Life Sciences businesses running programmes they cannot afford to get wrong.

• 100,000+ pre-vetted experts in our network
• 65+ countries covered

We are deliberately specialist. We would rather be the first call in one market than a name on a list in ten.

How you will be trained:

You will be trained by the Head of the desk you join. Not a generic induction programme, not a training provider brought in for a fortnight. The person who built that market teaches you how to work it, and they sit next to you while you do.

We take training seriously and we take our time over it. There is no target on you from week one. You learn the market, you learn the process, and you build a desk properly, because a consultant who understands their market bills for years and one who was rushed does not.

You also start warm. You inherit an established database of more than 100,000 pre-vetted contacts and live client relationships, so your first week is conversations, not cold dialling.

What you will earn:

Uncapped commission from your first placement, paid monthly, rising to 50 percent. No threshold to clear once you are through ramp.

Realistic first-year earnings are £40,000 to £50,000 on target, and there is no ceiling above that.

Progression is published. Eight levels from Consultant to Managing Director with written criteria, and you move up on performance rather than time served.

The floor:

High energy, competitive, and social. Live leaderboards on the wall so everyone can see where they stand.

• Multiple trips a year, fully paid. The big one was Dubai.
• Lunch clubs when you hit your targets. You finish early, and the rest of the floor comes and joins you after.
• Days out and team socials throughout the year.
• Fridays finish at 3:30pm.

Everything else:

• Private healthcare, fully covered
• Paid charity days
• Pet-friendly office

How it works:

• Intro call. A short conversation to get to know your background and understand why you want to pursue a career in recruitment.
• Task and video call. We will set you a short task to prepare and present during a video call.
• Final interview. Visit our City office for an in-person interview and meet some of the team!
