Job description

Are you looking for a career with uncapped commission, industry-leading training, annual company holidays and clear pathways for progression? We're looking for an eager Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join us in our Birmingham City Centre office.

We're on a journey to become the leading social housing recruitment agency in Birmingham. We have recently moved into a new, 120-person office and we're hiring the next generation of Recruitment Consultants to join us in this exciting chapter - and you could be one of them.

You’ll need to be ready to buckle down and fully commit to the role. Some days are fun, and some days are challenging, but if you're tenacious and self‑motivated with the ability to handle pressure, we'll support you every step of the way to help you reach your goals and make some serious money.

You’ll have training each week from our in‑house Learning and Development team, receiving in excess of 65 hours coaching over a 12‑week programme. This includes:

• 3 × 60‑90 minute classroom training and group coaching sessions per week
• 7+ hours video training across 20+ modules
• Weekly bespoke individual coaching sessions at desk
• Weekly practical tasks and exercises to practice and embed the new skills you’re learning

You’ll also have access to your own mentor, mental health support, uncapped commission and the opportunity to attend annual company holidays and incentives; last year we went to Dubai and this year we’re going to Marbella!

This is a full‑time role where you’ll be working Monday – Friday, from 8 am – 5 pm.

Who are we?

We’re an award‑winning Recruitment agency based in Birmingham that works with some of the biggest public sector companies in the UK. In 2024 we were shortlisted for 5 more awards:

• Medium sized business of the year
• Best public/third sector recruitment agency
• Most effective back‑office operation

We have been shortlisted again in 2025 for Best In‑House Training for the second‑year running.

We’re a down to earth team of 52 where everyone's viewed as equal. We have an open‑door policy and everyone's voice matters. We also like to have a little fun along the way.

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you’ll get:

• Industry leading training & development – Access to an unrivalled 12‑week training programme with our Learning and Development team, plus ongoing support & training from external trainers
• Uncapped commission – Earn what you deserve with one of the best commission structures in the industry and get a pay rise after 9 months – £1000 bonus if you pass your career review first time
• Career progression – Clear pathways to Senior Consultant, Team Leader, and even Director
• Perks & incentives – Annual company holidays, access to Bupa Well+, lunch clubs, paid volunteer days and regular team events
• Well‑being support – Access to our mental health support, employee assistance programme and financial planning support
• Hybrid & flexible working after 9 months – Work around your lifestyle with flexi‑time and working from home options
• Collaborative culture – Be part of a growing, supportive team that celebrates success and values every voice

These are the skills we’re looking for in a Trainee Recruitment Consultant:

• Great sales skills and the ability to influence
• Exceptional customer service skills with the ability to build rapport
• Professional and confident telephone manner
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment
• Must be highly organised
• Dedication and the ability to prioritise
• Resilience and able to handle pressure

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be:

• Working in a fast‑paced, sales environment
• Making a high volume of telephone calls – cold‑calling candidates and clients
• Generating sales leads
• Building relationships with candidates and clients
• Researching your market and learning about your sector to become a specialist
• Using recruitment tools to source candidates and fill vacancies
• Conducting business development calls to attract new business from clients
• Interviewing candidates for roles
• Working towards targets and daily KPI's

The base salary for this role is £26,000, with a pay rise to £28,000 after 9 months and the ability to earn up to £10,000 commission in your first year.
