The Bristol office is a key graduate training hub, so you will be joining an environment that is set up to develop people at the beginning of their careers. You will learn how to work with growing businesses, understand what they need when hiring and find talented professionals who can help them grow. As you become more experienced, you will start building your own network and developing long-term relationships with clients and candidates.

What Will You Be Doing?

Recruitment is a mix of sales, relationship building and problem-solving. Your role will include:

• Finding and speaking with candidates
• Building relationships with clients and candidates
• Understanding what businesses are looking for when hiring
• Interviewing candidates
• Matching people with suitable opportunities
• Arranging interviews
• Managing feedback
• Negotiating job offers
• Developing new client relationships
• Building your professional network
• Learning everything about your specialist market

Over time, you will manage the full recruitment process and take on more responsibility as your skills and confidence grow.

Full Graduate Training

No recruitment experience is required. You will receive training covering:

• Recruitment fundamentals
• Candidate sourcing
• Candidate management
• Business development
• Sales
• Client management
• Negotiation
• Market research
• Commercial awareness
• AI and Technology recruitment

Importantly, there are no billing expectations during your first two months, giving you time to learn the role properly before being expected to deliver results. Training does not stop after your first few weeks. You will continue to receive coaching and development as you progress.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for graduates who are ambitious, confident and willing to learn. You should be:

• A graduate
• A strong communicator
• Comfortable speaking with new people
• Ambitious and motivated
• Resilient
• Competitive
• Willing to learn
• Motivated by progression and earning potential
• Interested in building a long-term career

Previous experience in sales, hospitality, retail or customer service can be useful, but it is not essential. Your attitude, communication skills and willingness to learn are more important than previous recruitment experience.

Why Recruitment?

Recruitment can be a strong graduate career if you want progression, responsibility and the opportunity to increase your earnings based on your performance. You will develop skills in sales, negotiation, business development, communication and relationship management. You will also gain exposure to businesses operating in growing markets such as AI, Technology and Clean Energy. As you become more experienced, you can build your own client base, become a specialist in your market and increase your earnings through commission. This is not about getting rich quickly. It is about learning a valuable skill, becoming good at what you do and building a career where strong performance is rewarded.
