Fresh out of uni and looking for a career where effort actually pays off? You’re in the right place.
Osprey Engineering Solutions is looking for driven, ambitious graduates to join our Birmingham team and train as Recruitment Consultants. You don’t need a recruitment background. You don’t need to know a hydraulic cylinder from a pneumatic actuator. What you do need is drive, personality, and a willingness to learn from some of the best consultants in the industry.
Why recruitment. Why Osprey.
Recruitment is one of the few careers where your earning potential is genuinely in your hands — uncapped commission, real responsibility, and promotions based on what you deliver, not how long you’ve been around. Osprey is a specialist engineering recruitment consultancy. We place the people behind the UK’s manufacturing and industrial sectors — from hydraulics and pneumatics to robotics and automation. You don’t need to know any of that yet. We’ll teach you.
What you’ll be doing
• Learning the craft from consultants with 20+ years in the industry
• Speaking to engineers, hiring managers and industry leaders every single day
• Sourcing candidates, managing interviews and running your own roles
• Growing your own patch and your own client base as you progress
• Hitting targets, earning commission and having a laugh while you do it
Who we want to hear from
• Recent graduates from any discipline — or anyone with the drive and confidence to match one
• Strong communicators who aren’t afraid to pick up the phone
• Competitive, resilient and hungry — you like to win
• Switched-on, personable and coachable
• Based in or able to commute to Oldbury / the West Midlands
What’s in it for you
• Competitive starting salary with realistic first-year OTE well above the graduate average
• Uncapped commission from day one
