Trainee Recruitment Consultant (Sales Experience Required)
A high-performing global search firm is looking for sales professionals to join its world-class delivery function. This is not an entry-level role — it is designed for switched-on, driven individuals with commercial ability and the mindset needed to succeed in a high-performance recruitment environment.
With 50+ qualified vacancies, strong exclusive/retained partnerships, and an established EU/US presence, trainees step into an environment built for success rather than one reliant on cold business development from day one.
This team has a proven track record of transforming ambitious salespeople into top-performing recruiters — including individuals who have become directors, opened international offices, or moved into leadership within 2–3 years.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Working deeply on qualified, director-vetted vacancies with £20k–£30k+ deal sizes
* Running candidate processes with high-calibre professionals, requiring credibility and commercial acumen
* Conducting detailed conversations about company growth, investment, tech stacks, and market positioning
* Learning from proven top performers who have built multi-million-pound teams
* Growing into a specialist who clients proactively approach with headcount requirements
* Operating in a supportive, high-performance, office-based culture where standards are elite
Ideal Trainee Profile
* Strong sales background (B2B, telesales, field sales, or similar)
* Intelligent, articulate, and naturally curious
* Extremely driven and goal-oriented
* Comfortable working hard — and being pushed out of their comfort zone
* Wants a career, not just a job
* Open to coaching, development, and being challenged by senior leaders
* Bonus: strong academics OR evidence of exceptional work ethic (e.g., sports, physical challenges, top sales performance, entrepreneurial experience)
Why This Role Stands Out
* Unrivalled development: A dedicated L&D director and hands-on coaching from senior leaders
* Exceptional progression: Real stories of people moving into global offices (Austin/Sydney), leadership, or top-biller status
* Commercial strength: High-value roles, strong retained partnerships, low drop-out rates, and deeply rooted client relationships
* Fast hiring process: First-stage f2f with leadership, followed by real-time assessment and rapid decision-making
* Meritocracy in action: Salary increases, promotions, and international moves are based on performance, not tenure
* Cultural excellence: A driven, intelligent, collaborative team where the highest standards are normal
If you’re ambitious, commercially sharp, and want to build a truly life-changing career, this opportunity offers the platform, training, and leadership to make that happen.
