Trainee Recruitment Consultant (Sales Experience Required)

A high‑performing global search firm is looking for sales professionals to join its world‑class delivery function. This is not an entry‑level role – it is designed for switched‑on, driven individuals with commercial ability and the mindset needed to succeed in a high‑performance recruitment environment.

With 50+ qualified vacancies
, strong exclusive/retained partnerships, and an established EU/US presence, trainees step into an environment built for success rather than one reliant on cold business development from day one.

This team has a proven track record of transforming ambitious salespeople into top‑performing recruiters – including individuals who have become directors, opened international offices, or moved into leadership within 2–3 years.

• Working deeply on qualified, director‑vetted vacancies with £20k–£30k+ deal sizes
• Running candidate processes with high‑calibre professionals, requiring credibility and commercial acumen
• Conducting detailed conversations about company growth, investment, tech stacks, and market positioning
• Learning from proven top performers who have built multi‑million‑pound teams
• Growing into a specialist who clients proactively approach with headcount requirements
• Operating in a supportive, high‑performance, office‑based culture where standards are elite

• Strong sales background (B2B, telesales, field sales, or similar)
• Intelligent, articulate, and naturally curious
• Extremely driven and goal‑oriented
• Comfortable working hard – and being pushed out of their comfort zone
• Wants a career, not just a job
• Open to coaching, development, and being challenged by senior leaders
• Bonus: strong academics OR evidence of exceptional work ethic (e.g., sports, physical challenges, top sales performance, entrepreneurial experience)

• Unrivalled development: A dedicated L&D director and hands‑on coaching from senior leaders
• Exceptional progression: Real stories of people moving into global offices (Austin/Sydney), leadership, or top‑biller status
• Commercial strength: High‑value roles, strong retained partnerships, low drop‑out rates, and deeply rooted client relationships
• Fast hiring process: First‑stage f2f with leadership, followed by real‑time assessment and rapid decision‑making
• Meritocracy in action: Salary increases, promotions, and international moves are based on performance, not tenure
• Cultural excellence: A driven, intelligent, collaborative team where the highest standards are normal

If you’re ambitious, commercially sharp, and want to build a truly life‑changing career, this opportunity offers the platform, training, and leadership to make that happen.
