Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Sales Experience Required
Location: London
Salary: £27,000 → £35,000 after 2 deals
Commission: Uncapped
Working Days: 5 days office-based
Got sales experience and want a career where the effort you put in can genuinely change what you earn?
We’re working with a London-based recruitment business looking to hire multiple entry-level Recruitment Consultants as they continue to grow.
You do not need recruitment experience and you don't necessarily need to be a graduate. What you do need is sales experience, a strong work ethic and the mentality to keep pushing for results.
This is a proper sales environment. They want people who are ambitious, competitive, resilient and prepared to put the work in to become successful.
The opportunity
You'll receive hands-on training and coaching directly from one of the owners of the business, teaching you how to build your market, win business, manage recruitment processes and ultimately become a high-performing recruiter.
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.
The earning potential is significant.
- You'll start on a £27,000 basic salary, but once you've completed your first two deals, your basic rises to £35,000.
- Average recruitment fees are typically £30,000–£100,000 per deal, giving you the opportunity to earn substantial commission on top of your salary.
- To put the potential into perspective, one consultant currently in their second year is billing around £1m and earning 42% commission on their billings.
That's obviously an exceptional level of performance – but it shows what can be achieved.
Who are we looking for?
We're particularly interested in people coming from sales backgrounds who want to transfer those skills into recruitment.
- You might currently be working in B2B sales, telesales, business development, estate agency, door-to-door sales, SaaS, recruitment or another target-driven sales environment.
- Graduates are absolutely welcome too, but you'll still need to demonstrate genuine sales experience rather than simply wanting to "give recruitment a go."
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The biggest thing is mentality. You need to be someone who wants to work hard, wants to earn well and understands that the two generally go together.
Working environment
The role is 5 days a week in their London office, particularly important at the beginning of your career when you'll be learning directly from experienced recruiters and the owners.
- A significant amount of the business is US-focused, so working hours are:
- Monday–Thursday: 10am–6pm
- Friday: 10am–5pm
If you're already good at sales but want a career with much bigger earning potential, this could be a very interesting next move.
