Are you ambitious, commercially minded and motivated by success? If you are looking for a career where your progression is directly linked to your performance, recruitment offers pace, autonomy and unlimited earning potential.

We are seeking a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our growing contract and interim team and build a successful career in specialist recruitment. This is an opportunity to learn the full 360 recruitment model from experienced leaders, gaining exposure to business development, candidate management and client engagement from day one.

You will receive structured training, ongoing mentoring and clear targets designed to help you develop quickly and confidently.

The Role

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you will learn how to manage the full recruitment lifecycle within a specialist market. You will develop skills in sales, negotiation, relationship building and market mapping, while building your own client and candidate network.

This is a performance-driven role where activity and consistency lead directly to results and reward.

What You Will Be Doing

• Learning how to identify and generate new client opportunities within a defined sector

• Building confidence in outbound business development and client conversations

• Supporting and eventually managing the full recruitment process, including candidate registration, in-depth interviews and reference checks

• Conducting client meetings alongside senior consultants and gradually leading your own

• Mapping key stakeholders within organisations and building long-term relationships

• Proactively generating leads for your own desk and the wider business

• Developing market knowledge to position yourself as a credible and trusted advisor

You will work closely with experienced consultants, gaining hands-on exposure to live roles and real commercial conversations.

Performance Expectations

As part of your development, you will work towards clear activity targets, including:

• Consistent weekly client and candidate calls

• Generating new job opportunities

• Attending and leading client meetings

These targets are structured to build strong habits, commercial awareness and long-term success.

• A strong work ethic and genuine ambition to build a career in sales and recruitment

• Confidence communicating with professionals at all levels

• Resilience and determination in a fast-paced environment

• A competitive mindset with a desire to achieve and exceed targets

• Excellent organisation and attention to detail

Previous recruitment experience is not required. Experience in sales, customer service, hospitality or any target-driven environment would be advantageous, although attitude and drive are the most important qualities.

What You Can Expect

• Structured training in 360 recruitment

• Clear progression pathways from Trainee Consultant through to senior leadership

• Ongoing mentoring from experienced managers

• A collaborative, high-performance culture

• Uncapped earning potential linked to your success
