Job description

Trainee Recruitment Consultant: AI Infrastructure Desk

Liverpool Street | 3 days in office 2 WFH | £29k to £32k base + uncapped commission

Break into recruitment in one of tech's hottest sectors

Recruitment is one of the most lucrative careers a driven graduate or career-changer can walk into. There's no ceiling on earnings, no dependence on a degree in a specific subject, and fast progression for people who perform. My client is where you'd want to do it.

My client is a specialist recruitment business in one of the fastest-growing, best-connected corners of the tech sector, and demand for talent here isn't slowing down any time soon. That means a genuinely future-proofed market to build a career in, not a trend that fades in two years.

Join at exactly the right moment

My client is a lean, very high-performing team of 12, on track for around £3m in revenue this year, and about to scale to a 25-person agency over the next 24 months. New leadership has joined them from leading competitors, they have the best software, and a brand new office in Liverpool Street, the foundations are in place for a huge success story.

Learn from a leadership team that's genuinely respected in the sector

You’ll be trained by experienced recruiters who are well known and well regarded in the technical recruitment space, not doing admin work or following a script, but getting real, hands‑on coaching from people who've built successful desks and careers in this exact market. Their recent trainees prove the model works: one who joined them from hospitality is already progressing toward Managing Consultant; another has had three promotions in two years. Where you start here isn't where you stay, if you are driven, intelligent, understand that hard work reaps rewards and are genuinely motivated to build a long term, lucrative and successful career for yourself, you can do that here.

The Role: Associate Consultant

• Managing the full 360 recruitment process from business development through to candidate placement
• Researching and identifying potential clients and new business opportunities
• Making outbound calls to prospective clients to win new vacancies and build relationships
• Developing and maintaining strong relationships with clients and candidates
• Sourcing and approaching high-quality candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals and headhunting
• Conducting candidate interviews and qualifying experience, motivations and career goals
• Matching suitable candidates to relevant job opportunities
• Writing and advertising job vacancies
• Managing the interview process, including arranging interviews and preparing candidates
• Providing market insight, advice and feedback to both clients and candidates
• Negotiating job offers, salaries and terms of business
• Managing the process through to successful placement and aftercare
• Building a personal network and developing a specialist market
• Working towards individual and team sales targets
• Keeping accurate records of candidate and client activity using the company CRM

What you'll get

• £29k to £32k base salary (dependent on experience)
• Uncapped commission: the top bracket is 50% with an excellent sourcing bonus in place for new starters
• Vitality health and dental cover from day one
• International travel: conferences and client dinners in cities like San Diego, Chicago, Berlin, Brussels and New York
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the Central London office, 2 days remote
• Structured progression, hands‑on manager support, and a genuine path to management

Who we're looking for

This in an 'entry level' role suitable for recent graduates or 'career movers' looking to build from the ground up, your degree doesn't dictate success here, but your intellect, drive and motivations do.

We're looking for genuine drive, curiosity, and a real reason for wanting this career, whether you're a recent graduate or moving across from another field. You should be comfortable with technology, hungry to learn a technical market, and motivated by uncapped earning potential.

We expect all applicants to understand and be able to articulate exactly what a career in agency recruitment involves, demonstrate an interest in Tech and be able to clearly advocate for why they would be successful at a career in this sector.

If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
