Junior Recruitment Consultant - no experience needed

Role overview

This opportunity is aimed at highly motivated people who want to build strong earnings quickly in recruitment. You will be joining a Bristol-based team working with recruitment businesses that operate across the UK, EU and US in sectors such as technology, logistics and education. The role is designed for people with drive, resilience and a commercial mindset rather than formal qualifications.

No degree is needed. The focus is on attitude, confidence and the ability to sell. The starting pay is £26,000 to £28,000 per year, with commission available from the first day and set at 20% to 40%. People who work hard and embrace the role are said to reach around £55,000 in the first year, with top performers potentially earning £80,000 or more. By the second year, £80,000 is described as a realistic target for top talent.

What the job involves

You will be trained from the start in the complete 360 recruitment cycle. This includes developing client relationships, sourcing and approaching candidates, handling interview stages, negotiating offers and growing a specialist market of your own. As you gain experience, you should begin managing your own deals and clients, building a desk that grows in value over time.

The work is fast-moving, commercially focused and centred on people. Success in the role depends on building quick rapport, reading situations well and being able to close confidently. The employer sees transferable value in experience from sales floors, hospitality, front-of-house work, sport or phone-based roles.
