Looking for a career that combines sales, relationship-building and earning potential?

Our client is a specialist recruitment consultancy operating across professional white-collar markets. They’re looking for ambitious graduates and sales-minded individuals to join their London team and develop into high-performing recruitment consultants.

What you'll be doing

Recruitment is a mix of sales, networking and problem-solving. You'll be responsible for:

• Building relationships with candidates and senior professionals
• Winning new business and developing existing client accounts
• Identifying and approaching candidates through headhunting and networking
• Taking vacancies from initial brief through to successful placement
• Conducting interviews and preparing candidates for client meetings
• Managing offers, negotiations and the closing process
• Developing your own network and becoming an expert within your chosen market

Who they're looking for

• Confident speaking to new people
• Competitive and comfortable working towards targets
• Commercially minded and motivated by earning potential
• Resilient when things don't go your way
• Organised and able to manage multiple priorities
• Curious, coachable and willing to learn

A degree is preferred but isn't essential. Previous experience in sales, estate agency, hospitality, retail or another customer-facing environment is also useful, but not a requirement.

What you'll get

• £29,000 basic salary
• Uncapped commission
• £45,000+ OTE in Year 1
• £65,000–£75,000+ OTE in Year 2

• Lunch clubs and overseas trips
• The opportunity to build a long-term career in specialist recruitment

If you're competitive, commercially driven and want your earnings to reflect your performance, this is a career worth considering.
