Who This Suits We are not looking for a specific CV. The people who do well in recruitment usually come from backgrounds such as: Sales or customer facing roles Engineering or technical environments Business development or account management Competitive environments where performance matters More important than experience is mindset. You should be: Comfortable speaking to people on the phone Driven to earn more than an average salary Competitive and motivated by targets Curious and interested in how businesses operate Resilient when things do not go your way What You Get Competitive basic salary Commission paid on the revenue you generate Quarterly incentives and team competitions Clear progression into Recruitment Consultant and Senior Consultant roles Support from an experienced recruitment team Free parking outside the office Recruitment rewards people who put the work in.
