We're a director‑led business with over 40 years' combined recruitment experience and a deliberately small, close‑knit team. We don't run high‑churn trainee intakes, we build strong consultants properly.

Training & Progression

• Structured in‑house training plus online learning support
• Clear, earned progression into a 360 consultant role

Progression is based on capability and consistency, not time served.

Earnings & Benefits

• £25,500 starting salary (Potentially higher depending on experience)
• Uncapped commission with a simple, transparent structure (Benchmarked to be the best structure locally in the South)
• Typical Year 1 earnings around £35-£40k
• Flexible working once established
• Regular team socials
• Supportive, inclusive team environment
