Once you have completed your first two placements, you will be promoted to Associate Consultant, receive an £8,000 salary increase and begin training as a fully 360 recruitment consultant. You will learn how to win clients, develop your own relationships and take ownership of a specialist market.

Who they are looking for
Academic achievement is valued, but your attitude, drive and sales potential are more important. You could be a graduate, an early-career recruiter or someone with experience in telesales, gym sales, door-to-door sales, hospitality or another target-driven environment.
You are likely to be:
- Confident speaking to people and comfortable using the phone
- Motivated by targets, progression and earning potential
- Highly coachable and able to implement feedback quicklyDetermined, resilient and willing to move outside your comfort zone
- Humble, conscientious and low ego
- Interested in financial markets, hedge funds or international business
- Able to work from the London office five days per week
The Culture
This is a genuinely sales-led environment with clear targets, structured coaching and a proven recruitment playbook. The culture is ambitious and performance-focused, while placing significant importance on respect, integrity, humility and teamwork.
The earning potential is exceptional for those who perform. One consultant who joined as a graduate less than two years ago is approaching £1 million in annual billings and on target to earn in excess of £400,000 this year.
If you are looking for a comfortable, low-intensity graduate role, this is unlikely to be the right opportunity. If you want excellent training, genuine responsibility and the chance to build a highly lucrative career in an international market, we would like to hear from you.
