Job description

Just finished university and looking for a career where your earning potential is in your hands

We're partnering with a fast-growing, specialist recruitment business that has built an outstanding reputation within the technology and professional services markets. Since launching less than a decade ago, they've become a trusted partner to some of the UK's most recognised organisations and continue to grow year on year.

They're now looking for ambitious graduates to join their team as Trainee Recruitment Consultants, offering industry-leading training, clear progression and the opportunity to earn exceptional commission from day one.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll receive structured training and ongoing mentorship from experienced recruitment leaders, learning everything you need to succeed in a high-performance, rewarding career.

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll:

• Learn the full recruitment process from sourcing candidates through to job offers and onboarding


• Build relationships with candidates and become a trusted career advisor


• Use platforms such as LinkedIn and industry networks to identify top talent


• Gain valuable commercial awareness across the technology and AI sector


• Support business development activities and identify new hiring opportunities


• Progress towards managing your own client portfolio and building long-term partnerships

No two days are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for graduates who enjoy speaking with people, building relationships and working towards personal goals.

Successful consultants can progress into senior consultants, management and leadership positions. This is a real chance to earn significantly above the average graduate salary straight out of university.

What We're Looking For

You don't need previous recruitment experience. We're interested in attitude, ambition and potential.

You'll ideally be:

• A graduate with a 2:1 classification in any degree discipline


• Confident communicating with a range of people


• Driven, competitive and motivated by success


• Resilient and positive when faced with challenges


• Eager to learn and develop new skills


• Professional, personable and proactive

Previous experience in customer service, retail, hospitality, sports teams, societies, sales or leadership roles is beneficial, but not essential.

What's On Offer?

• Commission up to 35% and completely uncapped


• Realistic first-year earnings of £40,000-£50,000+


• Industry-leading training programme


• Clear progression pathway into senior and leadership roles


• Quarterly incentives, lunch clubs and company trips


• Regular social events and team celebrations


• Modern offices and a collaborative team environment


• The opportunity to join an ambitious business during an exciting period of growth

If you're looking for more than "just a graduate job" and want a career where hard work is genuinely rewarded, this could be the perfect opportunity to get started.

Please note we are unable to accept candidates who will require visa sponsorship now or in the future.
