Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Construction Executive Search
Ready to build a real career in recruitment — not just grind phone calls in a KPI factory?
We’re working with a boutique executive search firm that specialises in white-collar construction and infrastructure. They’re now hiring Trainee Recruitment Consultants as part of their 2025 growth plans. This is a company that trains properly, promotes quickly and pays well — especially for those with potential, not just experience.
Why This Firm?
This isn’t your typical churn-and-burn sales floor. They invest in you from day one, with a structured progression path into senior roles and management. Their market is niche and lucrative, with consultative, retained search work — meaning quality conversations over quantity.
What You’ll Get:
* Full training & coaching from experienced managers
* Commission up to 30% uncapped once you’re billing — realistic £50–80k+ OTE in Year 2
* Fast-track career plan based on targets (hit $250k NFI and step into Senior / Team Lead roles)
* Supportive, grown-up culture — no micromanagement, real mentorship
* Booming construction + technical market — recession resilient and in high demand
* Hybrid working once trained (office + WFH balance)
Who They Want:
* Either graduates or people with 6–24 months in sales, customer service, or a sports/hospitality background
* Confident communicators with a strong work ethic
* Ambitious and coachable — driven to earn and progress
* Resilient and competitive, but also professional and people-focused
Earnings & Progression:
* Year 1 OTE: £30–40k
* Year 2 OTE: £50–80k+
* Year 3+: £100k+ with management trajectory
The commission structure is transparent and aggressive — you’ll earn from your first deal and work towards a 30% commission threshold.
Summary:
If you're serious about building a long-term career in recruitment and want proper training, autonomy and uncapped earnings, this is the opportunity to go for. You’ll be working in a niche, professional market with real progression and income potential, not just a call centre environment.
