Description
We're recruiting for a specialist recruitment consultancy based in Manchester city centre, focused exclusively on placing talent into high-value, in-demand sectors - Aviation, Construction, Data Centres, Utilities, Fire & Security, and Pharmaceuticals.
Founded in 2017, the business places talent across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and the UAE. In 2025 they opened a London HQ, were shortlisted for seven industry awards, and took home a Highly Commended at The Recruiter Awards. They're now looking for their next intake of ambitious recruiters to join the Manchester team.
What's on offer:
• £27,000 basic salary, £35,000 OTE Year One
• Realistic Year Two earnings of £50,000-£60,000; Year Three £65,000-£80,000+
• Commission earned from interviews attended, not just placements - so you earn fast
• Extra holiday days unlocked as you hit billing milestones
• All-expenses-paid trips for top performers - previous destinations include skiing, Barcelona, and Amsterdam
• Subsidised gym membership and extended lunch break
• Regular socials, lunch clubs, and monthly team nights out
The Role:
As a Recruitment Consultant you'll work a specialist desk across one of their core sectors - placing contract and permanent talent, building your own client relationships, and developing your own patch in a niche, high-value market. No experience needed - they hire for potential and train from scratch.
Career Development:
Five consultants promoted in 2024, two more in Q1 2025 alone. The progression path runs from Consultant to Divisional Director level - with a genuine shareholding in the business for those who get there. Senior roles are filled internally, not hired from outside.
Training:
Classroom training, desk coaching, and strategy sessions with an expert Recruitment Trainer, plus weekly 1-2-1s and direct mentoring from the founder. Every consultant gets a bespoke development plan - never thrown in at the deep end.
Who they're looking for:
• Graduate calibre - degree discipline doesn't matter
• Ambitious, competitive, and motivated by earnings and progression
• Confident communicators with strong interpersonal skills
• Resilient and driven, with a genuine desire to build a long-term career in recruitment
• No experience required - attitude and potential matter more than a CV
Award-winning, internationally scaling, and built on promoting from within. If that sounds like the right environment - let's talk.
