Associate Recruitment Consultant – German Speaking

£30,000 Base Salary + Uncapped Commission | Bristol | Graduate Opportunity

Ready to turn your German language skills into a high-earning international career?

Are you a graduate who speaks German and English, enjoys meeting new people and wants a career where your ambition, performance and earning potential can genuinely shape your progression?

We're looking for German-speaking graduates to join our growing Bristol team as Associate Recruitment Consultants.

You don't need recruitment experience. You don't need a sales background.

What matters is your attitude, ambition, communication skills and willingness to learn.

If you're competitive, resilient, people-focused and excited by the idea of working with clients and professionals across international markets, this could be the career you've been looking for.

Why German?

Your German language skills can open the door to an international recruitment career.

You'll work with clients and candidates across European markets, using your German to build relationships, develop business and become a specialist in your chosen industry.

You'll be speaking with professionals, businesses and decision-makers, building a network that can take your career far beyond your first graduate role.

German isn't just a skill we want you to have — it's a skill you'll use.
