Job description

Title : Trainee Recruitment Consultant (Founder’s Associate)

Salary : £24,000 Base + Uncapped Commission (OTE Year 1 : £35k+)

Location : North London

Contract : Full Time

The Opportunity : Don’t Just Fill Jobs. Build a Business.

Most recruitment jobs are identical : high volume, heavy KPIs, and throwing CVs at a wall to see what sticks. This is not one of those jobs.

Three9s Talent is a strategic recruitment partner for the Construction & Technology sectors. We don’t sell "staff" we sell High Retention. We solve the "Turnover Tax" for our clients by using a proprietary, HR-certified methodology called The Three9s Method.

We are looking for a Founder’s Associate. This is a unique opportunity to work 1 : 1 with the Founder, learning the trade from the ground up, with the specific goal of you becoming a future leader within the business.

What You Will Do (The Mission) :

You will not be fetching coffee. You will be building a desk. Under direct mentorship, you will learn to execute the "Honest Shortlist" process :

• Market Mapping : Identifying the top 10% of talent in the Construction & Tech markets (Site Managers, Project Engineers, DevOps).
• The Hunt : Using advanced search techniques (LinkedIn Recruiter, X-Ray search, and cold outreach) to find candidates who aren't on job boards.
• The Assessment : Conducting deep-dive interviews to assess "Long-Term Fit", not just skills. You will learn to identify the "Critical Mandate" of a role.
• The Delivery : Writing "Strategic Briefing Documents" that present candidate data with integrity and precision.
• Business Development : Over time, you will transition from finding candidates to finding clients, pitching the Three9s value proposition to Directors and CEOs.

Who You Are :

• We don't care about your degree. We care about your DNA. We are looking for a "Second Jobber" - someone with 1- 2 years of experience in a tough environment (Sales, Hospitality, Sports, or Property) who is ready for a career, not a gig.
• Resilient : You can handle rejection. You understand that "No" is just part of the process.
• Articulate : You can hold a conversation with a Construction Director or a Tech Lead without being intimidated.
• Process-Driven : You don't cut corners. You understand that "Clarity and Structure" win over speed and noise.
• Money Motivated, But Integrity First : You want to earn high commissions, but never at the expense of honesty.

The Deal (What’s in it for you?) :

• "The Mini-MBA" : You will work directly beside the Founder. You will see how a business is built, how P&L works, and how to negotiate high-value contracts.
• Uncapped Earning : Your base covers your bills. Your commission builds your wealth.
• Career Velocity : There is no "corporate ladder" here. If you hit your targets, you get promoted. The goal is for you to lead your own Division within 18 - 24 months.

How to Apply :

Attention to detail is critical in our "Honest Shortlist" process. To apply, send your CV and a short cover letter. Your cover letter must start with the sentence : "I am ready to build."

Applications without this specific sentence will not be reviewed
