Job Description
Trainee Recruitment Consultant – High-Performance Sales Opportunity in Hedge Fund Search
Are you a top-performing salesperson looking to take your career to the next level?
This global recruitment search firm partners with elite Hedge Funds, Asset Managers, Investment Banks, Crypto firms, and FinTech innovators. They place world-class technologists, data scientists, and traders into leading global firms, with offices in New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai.
They take a unique hybrid approach – blending fast-paced contingent recruitment with high-end executive search. The deals are big, the stakes are high, and the rewards are exceptional. Typical fees range from £60k–£80k, with top deals hitting £150k+.
In your first year, you’ll complete a handful of major placements and take home between £45k–£60k total earnings, with ambitious consultants exceeding that quickly.
Why This Role Appeals to Salespeople
If you’ve thrived in a sales environment but want something with more complexity, bigger deal values, and faster career progression, recruitment could be your next big step. You’ll use your existing sales skills – relationship-building, persuasion, negotiation, and resilience – but apply them in a more strategic, consultative, and lucrative industry.
What They’re Looking For
* Sales-driven performers: You’ve smashed targets in telesales, real estate, recruitment, insurance, or any other B2B/B2C sales role and want a higher ceiling.
* Confident communicators: You’ll be speaking to top-tier candidates – engineers, data scientists, and traders – as well as senior hiring managers at world-leading firms.
* Financially motivated: The earning potential is huge, and you can start making serious money from day one. A recent hire earned over £100k in their first year. If the idea of uncapped commission and life-changing pay excites you, this is the place to be.
* Curious and consultative: You’ll need to research niche markets and understand complex roles – perfect for salespeople who enjoy learning and problem-solving.
* Resilient and ambitious: You’re self-motivated, target-driven, and thrive in competitive, high-energy environments.
What’s on Offer
* £28k starting salary
* Uncapped commission from day one, up to 40%, with higher rates as you progress to Team Lead
* Flexible working hours and work-from-home options after probation
* Two luxury holidays per year – past destinations include Barbados, Mexico, Mauritius, and skiing trips
* Monthly Michelin star lunch clubs and social events at London’s best rooftop bars
* Regular rewards including prizes, competitions, and incentives for top performers and new joiners
* A collaborative, adult environment – no micromanagement, just trust and accountability
