Job Description

Trainee Recruitment Consultant - Ex Professional Athletes

Are you a former professional athlete looking for your next competitive challenge?

We are looking for driven ex-pro sportspeople to join our team as Trainee Recruitment Consultants, where your resilience, determination and winning mindset will give you a genuine edge.

Recruitment is a fast-paced, performance-led career that rewards effort, consistency and mental toughness - the same traits that defined your success in elite sport.

Why recruitment is a great transition from professional sport:

  • Highly competitive, target-driven environment
  • Clear progression and promotion based on performance
  • Uncapped commission and high earning potential
  • Structured training and ongoing coaching
  • Direct link between effort and results

What you'll bring from sport:

  • Resilience and ability to handle pressure
  • Strong work ethic and self-discipline
  • Confidence in communication and building relationships
  • Hunger to win and exceed targets
  • Coachability and desire to improve

The role:

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll be trained from the ground up. You'll learn how to:

  • Source and engage candidates
  • Build relationships with clients
  • Negotiate offers and close deals
  • Manage your own market and desk

No recruitment experience is required - we're interested in mindset, attitude and potential.

If you're missing the buzz of competition and want a career where your performance directly impacts your success and earnings, recruitment could be your next big win.

Apply now to start your transition from elite sport to elite recruitment.
