The Role
We are looking for a Junior Recruiter (Sourcing Specialist) to help us identify, engage, and qualify top-tier candidates for some of the most competitive roles in finance and trading. This is a pure sourcing role to start with, but one that can evolve quickly into a full-cycle recruiter position if you prove yourself.
This role is perfect for someone with around 1 year of recruitment or sales experience who is hungry, motivated, and thrives in a start-up style environment.
What You'll Do
* Source candidates across LinkedIn, job boards, communities, and direct outreach.
* Analyse, research, mapping market/company structures/news to stay on top of market trends and alerts
* Build and maintain candidate pipelines for niche, highly competitive roles.
* Conduct screening calls and qualify candidates against technical and cultural requirements.
* Support live mandates by delivering exceptional candidate shortlists.
* Track activity and metrics daily with discipline and consistency.
* Contribute ideas to improve sourcing strategies and recruitment processes.
What We're Looking For
* 1+ year experience in market/industry research, cold calling in sales/BD/customer services purposes.
* Relentless drive, work ethic, and resilience. This is not a 9–5 role.
* Comfort working fully remote and independently, while staying tightly connected to the team.
* Sharp communication skills and confidence reaching out to high-calibre candidates.
* A mindset that sees rejection as fuel, not a setback.
What's In It For You
* High rewards for high performance: Up to 50% commission on placements.
* Employee fund access: Discretionary contributions to our internal fund.
* Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere in the UK.
* Culture of growth: You'll be mentored by senior recruiters and can quickly advance to full-cycle recruiting.

* Compensation: £25k–28k base. Realistic OTE £40-50k+. Top performers can achieve £60k+ uncapped.
Who Thrives Here
* This is not a corporate, cushy job. This is a start-up environment where grit, ambition, and output are everything. If you are hungry to prove yourself, eager to earn, and want to build a career in a high-octane industry, you will thrive with us.
