Ready to build a high-earning career in one of the world's fastest-growing industries?

Houston is at the heart of the STEM economy, with huge demand for talent across engineering, technology, energy, life sciences and other technical industries.

We're looking for ambitious graduates to join our team as Junior Recruitment Consultants, helping some of the world's leading STEM companies find the talent they need to grow.

No recruitment experience? No problem. We'll teach you everything you need to know.

What we're looking for is ambition, resilience, confidence and the drive to succeed.

Start strong. Earn more. Progress fast.

  • Uncapped commission
  • ~$80,000 Year 1 OTE

What does STEM recruitment actually look like?

You'll become the link between high-growth STEM businesses and the specialist talent they need to succeed.

You'll learn 360 recruitment, combining sales, business development and talent acquisition.

Your day could involve:

  • Speaking with engineers, developers, scientists and other STEM professionals
  • Building relationships with STEM companies and senior decision-makers
  • Head-hunting specialist candidates for exciting technical projects
  • Winning new clients and developing your own portfolio of STEM businesses
  • Managing the recruitment process from initial conversation through to placement
  • Negotiating and closing deals
  • Working towards clear targets and being rewarded for your results

You'll build your own network, become an expert in your market and develop relationships with people who are shaping the future of technology, engineering and science.

Recruitment combines sales, business and people — and it's one of the few graduate careers where your earning potential isn't capped by your starting salary.

The harder you work, the more you can earn.

The better you perform, the faster you can progress.

And within 12-18 months, you'll have the opportunity to take the next step in your career.

Houston is one of the world's biggest STEM hubs.

From energy and engineering to technology and life sciences, some of the most exciting companies in the world are investing heavily in the city.

You'll be working at the intersection of people, technology and business, helping companies access the specialist talent they need to grow.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for graduates who are:

  • Ambitious and hungry to succeed
  • Competitive and motivated by targets
  • Confident communicators who enjoy speaking to people
  • Resilient and comfortable with rejection
  • Commercially minded and motivated by earning potential
  • Coach-able and eager to learn
  • Degree educated and available to start in November

Whether you've played competitive sport, worked in sales, led a society, built something of your own or simply have a serious drive to succeed — we want to hear from you.

Your STEM recruitment career starts here.

You don't need to know how to recruit.

We'll teach you.

What we can't teach is ambition, resilience and the desire to win.
