We’re hiring Trainee Recruitment Consultants to join a high-performing, supportive team in central Manchester.

No recruitment experience? No problem! We care about drive, ambition, and communication skills.

Everything else will be taught through our structured training and mentorship programme. You’ll be building relationships with clients, sourcing candidates, writing and managing job adverts, and developing your own client base...all while learning how recruitment really works and how to grow your career quickly.

• Competitive base salary (£25K+) with uncapped commission, clear performance-based promotion paths, and structured training to get you to your first promotion fast.
• Hit targets and watch your earnings grow, with monthly team incentives and opportunities to earn even more as you progress.
• Fun, collaborative team culture
• Monthly team outings (think The Ivy, Fenix, bowling, crazy golf)
• Holiday incentives (Ibiza, Mexico, skiing)
• Annual summer and Christmas parties
• Casual dress, gym membership, company pension, referral programme, unlimited paid holidays, work from home options, and sick pay.

Who we’re looking for:

• Confident, sociable individuals with a positive attitude
• A drive to hit targets, and the ambition to grow quickly.
• Backgrounds in sales, retail, hospitality, or customer-facing roles are perfect, but if you’ve got the right mindset, we’ll teach you everything else.

Your First-Year Journey:

Weeks 1–6:

Intensive onboarding, hands‑on training, and candidate management

Month 2–4:

Developing your market specialism and building your personal brand

Month 4+:

Business development, winning clients, and running your own desk
