Trainee Recruitment Consultant
Looking for a career in sales where your earning potential and progression are genuinely in your hands?
Simpson Judge is growing, and we're looking for ambitious sales professionals to join us as Trainee Recruitment Consultants.
You don't need recruitment experience; we'll teach you that. What we're looking for is someone who already knows how to build relationships, enjoys speaking to people and has a passion for sales.
You'll join an established 360 recruitment desk with existing client relationships, signed agreements and live vacancies, meaning you'll be learning while working on genuine opportunities from day one rather than building everything from scratch.
Through structured training, ongoing mentoring and industry-leading technology, we'll give you everything you need to build a successful career in recruitment. For those who are ambitious, progression can be incredibly fast.
What You'll Be Doing
During your first few months you'll receive structured training covering every aspect of 360 recruitment, including:
- Learning how to source and interview high-quality candidates
- Building relationships with clients and candidates
- Working alongside experienced consultants on live vacancies
- Learning business development techniques
- Managing the full recruitment process from vacancy through to placement
- Developing your own specialist technology market
- Building a personal reputation as an expert within your sector
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.
As your confidence grows, you'll take on more responsibility until you're managing your own desk with the support of experienced mentors around you.
What You'll Bring
You don't need recruitment experience, but you do need to enjoy sales.
We'd love to hear from you if you have experience in:
- Telephone sales
- Business Development
- Estate Agency
- Car Sales
- Recruitment Resourcing
- Retail Management
- Hospitality Management
- Customer-facing sales roles
Most importantly you'll have:
- Confidence speaking with new people
- Excellent communication skills
- A competitive nature
- Strong work ethic
- Ambition to build a long-term career
- A genuine desire to earn exceptional commission
Training & Development
Industry-Leading Training
We don't expect you to know recruitment, that's our job to teach you.
From day one you'll receive structured training covering recruitment fundamentals, business development, negotiation, candidate management, client meetings, LinkedIn Recruiter, AI recruitment tools and specialist technology markets.
You'll work closely with experienced consultants who will coach you throughout your journey, helping you build confidence and become successful as quickly as possible.
