* Continue within the Data Centres vertical
* Progress into a 360 Recruitment/BD Consultant role
* Long-term growth may include leadership and equity
Working Culture & Hours

* Friday: Typically a half-day, off by 1 PM—or even the day off if targets are hit
* Three-day weekend model: Earn your time off by putting in the graft early in the week
* Dress Code: Smart casual – office culture values fitness, sharpness, and energy
What’s On Offer

* Ambition to earn, grow, and build within a fast-paced firm
* Strong preparation: research-driven, goal-oriented, and commercially aware
* Cultural fit: switched-on, energetic, competitive – no ego, no entitlement
* Not a role for “coasters” – this is for grafters who want to build something real
About the Team
You’ll be working directly under the Managing Director in a motivated and tight-knit team where expectations are high, and the rewards are higher. Past hires have accelerated quickly, with one example being Tyler, a consultant who earned 25% equity in the spin-off firm in under two years.
