Are you a motivated graduate with a competitive mindset, a strong work ethic and the ambition to build a career where your earnings, progression and success are determined by your own performance?

At Ernest Gordon Recruitment, we're building something special in Exeter. Our office is home to six high-performing consultants who have established a reputation for delivering exceptional results across the engineering sector. Now we're entering the next stage of our journey.

Our ambition is to grow Exeter into the South West's leading specialist recruitment hub, expanding to a team of 50 consultants over the coming years.

We're looking for ambitious graduates who want to grow with us-not only becoming exceptional recruiters, but future managers who will build, lead and develop their own teams as the business continues to expand.

This is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage where your contribution can genuinely influence the future of the office. As we grow, so will your opportunities.

From your first day you'll receive structured, hands-on coaching from experienced consultants who are invested in your success.

We believe the best recruiters are developed through practical experience, continuous coaching and taking ownership of their own development.

You'll learn by working on real assignments with real clients and candidates, receiving regular feedback and coaching to continually improve your commercial, sales and recruitment skills.

We'll provide the framework, support and expertise-you'll bring the ambition, commitment and drive to maximise every opportunity.

Throughout your development you'll be encouraged to:

• Take ownership of your personal and professional development.
• Seek feedback and apply it to continually improve.
• Develop your commercial awareness, sales ability and recruitment expertise.
• Build long-term relationships with clients and candidates.
• Develop the leadership skills needed to progress into management.

Whether your goal is to become a top-performing Recruitment Consultant, manage your own team or progress towards Director level, your career progression will be based entirely on your performance, ambition and ability-not time served.

The Benefits

• Structured on-the-job training and continuous coaching from experienced recruiters.
• Clear progression into Senior Consultant, Management and Director positions.
• The opportunity to help build one of Ernest Gordon Recruitment's flagship regional offices.
• 28,000 starting salary, increasing to 32,000 upon promotion to Recruitment Consultant.
• Uncapped commission with realistic first-year earnings of 45,000- 50,000.
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Pension and additional company benefits.

If you're ambitious, resilient and excited by the opportunity to build a successful career while helping shape the future of one of Exeter's fastest-growing recruitment teams, we'd love to hear from you.
