Want a career where your effort directly shapes your earnings, your progression, and the lifestyle you build? Barrington James is hiring Entry-Level Recruitment Consultants and we're looking for driven people who want more.

No recruitment experience? No problem, we'll teach you everything. What we can't teach is ambition, competitiveness, and the hunger to succeed. If that sounds like you, you'll thrive here. We're a global Life Sciences recruitment business with over 200 employees across 10 international offices, and we want people who are ready to make their mark.

What's In It For You

• £50K+ OTE in year one, with top performers hitting £100K+ by year three
• Uncapped commission, up to 40% with no threshold to hit first
• Promotions based on performance, not how long you've been here
• Our Launch Academy, a structured onboarding and training programme designed to get you up to speed fast, with one-to-one coaching and development built in from day one
• International travel, relocation opportunities, and global incentives
• A sociable, high-energy team of people who actually want to win
• Holidays, rewards, and global trips for top performers
• Real variety, no two days are the same and your success is yours to own

What You'll Actually Be Doing

• Building strong relationships with candidates and clients across Life Sciences
• Placing high-calibre professionals into exciting roles around the world
• Running the full recruitment process from start to finish
• Sharpening your communication, negotiation, and commercial skills
• Hitting targets and getting properly rewarded when you do

What We're Looking For

• Ambition, resilience, and a serious work ethic
• Confidence and a competitive streak in a target-driven environment
• Great communication skills and a genuine desire to succeed
• Sales experience is a bonus, but attitude will always matter more

Ready to Go For It?

If you want your earnings and progression to be driven by your effort, not your age or experience, we want to hear from you.
