Turn ambition into a career

Our client is an established specialist recruitment consultancy working across a range of professional white-collar markets. They're looking for ambitious individuals to join their Manchester office, with full training provided and plenty of scope to progress.

Recruitment is a sales-driven industry where success comes down to building relationships, developing new business and delivering results. You'll learn how to do all three, with the opportunity to build your own client base and earn commission on every successful placement.

Your responsibilities

  • Generate new business by identifying and approaching potential clients

  • Build relationships with professionals and develop a strong candidate network

  • Source, engage and assess candidates for live opportunities

  • Manage the recruitment process from initial conversation through to placement

  • Arrange interviews, prepare candidates and gather feedback

  • Negotiate offers and secure successful placements

  • Develop specialist market knowledge and grow your own desk

The type of person we're after

Previous recruitment experience isn't necessary. We're more interested in people with the right attitude, ambition and appetite for a sales career.

You'll ideally be someone who:

  • Enjoys competition and working towards targets

  • Is confident communicating with people at all levels

  • Has the resilience to deal with setbacks and rejection

  • Is motivated by financial reward and career progression

  • Takes responsibility for their own development

  • Has a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn

Graduates are encouraged to apply, although a degree isn't essential. Previous experience in sales, estate agency or another customer-facing role would be beneficial.

Salary, commission and benefits

  • £26,000 basic salary

  • Uncapped commission structure

  • Year 1 OTE: £45,000+

  • Year 2 OTE: £65,000–£75,000+

  • Year 3 OTE: £100,000+

  • Comprehensive training and ongoing coaching

  • Clear progression opportunities based on performance

  • Regular incentives, lunch clubs and overseas trips

  • A sociable, ambitious team environment

This is an opportunity to get into a career where you're rewarded for the work you put in, with the training and support to build a successful recruitment career from the ground up.
