Trainee Recruitment Consultant | London
£27,000 basic salary + uncapped commission

Not every successful career starts with a degree or years of experience. Sometimes it's about having the right attitude, backing yourself and being prepared to put the work in.

Our client is looking for ambitious individuals to join their London office as Trainee Recruitment Consultants. They're open to 2026 graduates, college leavers and people from sales or customer-facing backgrounds who are looking for their next challenge.

What makes this opportunity different?

• Earning potential: £27,000 basic salary with uncapped commission on top.

• Career progression: Clear opportunities to move through the business based on your results.

• Training: Learn the industry from experienced consultants with ongoing coaching and development.

• Responsibility: Build your own relationships, manage your own vacancies and develop a specialist market.

• Recognition: Your hard work and achievements won't go unnoticed.

What will you actually be doing?

You'll be working at the centre of the hiring process, helping businesses find the people they need while supporting candidates with their career moves.

This will involve:

• Speaking with businesses to understand their hiring requirements

• Finding and approaching suitable candidates

• Interviewing candidates and managing client meetings

• Building a network of contacts within your market

• Negotiating offers and securing placements

• Developing new business and growing your own client base

Could you be a good fit?

We're not looking for a particular degree or previous job title. We're looking for people with the right characteristics to succeed in a competitive, sales-led environment.

You might be:

• A 2026 graduate looking for an alternative to the traditional graduate route

• A college leaver keen to get straight into business

• Someone with a sporting background and a competitive edge

• Working in sales or customer service and looking for greater earning potential

• Simply someone who is ambitious, hardworking and wants to get ahead

You'll need resilience, confidence, strong communication skills and a genuine desire to succeed.

No degree required. No recruitment experience required.

If you're looking for more than a standard entry-level job and want the opportunity to build a career on your own merit, this could be the one.
