Graduate Recruitment Consultant (Data Centres, Renewables, Construction & Civil Infrastructure) – Sheffield
Andersen James Group | £25,000 - £28,000 + uncapped commission
This isn’t your average first job.
Andersen James (AJ) is a fast-growing global recruitment specialist, operating in some of the world’s most in-demand sectors: data centres, renewable energy, civil infrastructure, and construction. We’re expanding rapidly and are looking for 2–3 passionate individuals to join our Sheffield team to help us grow.
What You’ll Be Doing
Recruitment is a sales job. It’s also a people job. In this role, you’ll:
- Build relationships with candidates and clients through phone calls, face-to-face meetings, and written communication
- Source top talent and match exceptional s.k.s. with high-impact roles across our core sectors
- Manage the entire recruitment cycle—from sourcing to signing, ensuring we fill roles quickly and efficiently
- Learn sales fundamentals and recruitment best practices (no prior experience needed)
No prior recruitment experience is required—we’ll train you from the ground up.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re not looking for experience—we’re looking for the person.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This could be you if:
- You’re a recent graduate hungry for an opportunity that matches your ambition
- You have 1–2 years in sales and want a role with higher earning potential and clear progression
- You’re a former athlete, competitive in nature, and thrive on discipline and persistence
Key Requirements
- A genuine drive to be great, not just good
- Willingness to work hard and committing the hours it takes to succeed
- Experience handling rejection (sales, previous employment, or challenges show resilience)
- Strong communication s.k.s.—irrespective of medium (phone, in-person, writing)
- Competitive instincts and a dedication to maintaining high personal standards
- Self-discipline to stay consistent, not just occasionally exceptional
- Based in **(or able to commute regularly to) Sheffield
Compensation & Benefits
Financial Package
- £25,000–£28,000 salary band (plus opportunities to exceed this)
- Uncapped commission structure (up to 35% of target bonus potential)
