This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, enjoys building relationships, and is motivated by career progression and uncapped earning potential.

Our Ideal Candidate

• Degree level is welcomed
• No degree, no problem - apply anyway
• Ambitious with a genuine drive to build a successful career
• Motivated by earning money and excited by uncapped commission
• Curious, coachable and always eager to learn
• Competitive by nature – whether that's through sport, academics or other achievements
• A sporting background is highly desirable (team or individual sports)
• Personable, charismatic and able to build rapport with people
• Resilient, proactive and comfortable working towards targets
• Full of energy with a positive, can-do attitude

About the Client

You’ll be joining a high-performing recruitment business with 25 years of success, led by its CEO and Founder and supported by an exceptional in‑house Learning & Development Manager who will play a key role in your onboarding, training and ongoing development.

This is a business that invests in its people, giving you the tools, support and coaching to build a successful recruitment career.

Their specialism? Sales on sales.

The business partners with SaaS start‑ups to help them build and scale their sales teams. You'll work with the founders of ambitious businesses across sectors including CleanTech, HealthTech, SportTech and Tech for Good, helping them identify and attract the sales talent they need to achieve their revenue targets.

Think working directly with founders, understanding their growth ambitions and helping them build entire sales teams and functions from the ground up.

This is a fast‑paced, commercially focused environment where energy, quick thinking, confidence and charisma matter. You'll need to match the pace of the people you work with, enjoy a challenge and be motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible impact on growing businesses.

If you're competitive, commercially minded and enjoy being around ambitious people, this could be an excellent environment in which to thrive.

The Next Steps

We're looking for potential over a perfect CV. Our client prioritises grit, mindset, determination and charisma over ticking boxes on academic results or previous professional experience. Whether you're a recent graduate, a former athlete or someone with experience in a customer‑facing or sales environment, what matters most is your attitude, ambition and desire to succeed.

You’ll have an introductory Teams video call with the Founder of Summit Rec2Rec. This is an opportunity to discuss your background, understand your motivations and explore whether recruitment is the right career path for you.

Introduction to the client

If successful, you'll be introduced to the client that same day, allowing you to move quickly through the process and explore the opportunity in more detail.
