Trainee Recruitment Consultant
Manchester City Centre | Maxwell Bond
£27,000 basic salary + uncapped commission
About the Role
Maxwell Bond is growing, and we're looking for ambitious, driven people to join us as Trainee Recruitment Consultants.
You don't need previous recruitment experience. We're looking for people with the attitude, resilience, communication skills, and ambition to build a successful career in recruitment.
Recruitment is a fast-paced, people-focused career where you'll develop strong commercial, sales, and relationship-building skills while working with some of the UK's most exciting technology businesses.
At Maxwell Bond, we specialise in Technology & GTM recruitment, partnering with startups, scale-ups, and established businesses across the UK. You'll work with founders, senior technology leaders, and professionals across markets including software, data, product, cyber security, and infrastructure.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll learn how to manage the full recruitment process while building your own network and market expertise.
You'll be:
- Building relationships with candidates across the AI and Data markets
- Sourcing and identifying talent for live vacancies
- Using LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and networking to find candidates
- Speaking with candidates to understand their experience, motivations, and career goals
- Managing interviews, feedback, and the recruitment process
- Writing engaging job adverts and candidate outreach
- Developing your own market knowledge and professional network
- Working closely with clients to understand their hiring requirements
- Learning the commercial and sales side of recruitment and how to win new business
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.
What We're Looking For
We're more interested in who you are and what you can achieve than your CV.
You'll be a great fit if you're:
- A confident communicator who enjoys speaking to people
- Ambitious and motivated by achieving goals
- Competitive and driven to succeed
- Resilient and able to handle setbacks
- Self-motivated and willing to take responsibility
- Curious and keen to learn
- Comfortable working in a target-driven environment
- Someone who enjoys building relationships and developing a network
Previous experience in sales, customer service, retail, hospitality, estate agency, or recruitment is beneficial, but absolutely not essential.

What You'll Get
£27,000 basic salary + uncapped commission
Alongside your earning potential, you'll get:
- Industry-leading training and development
- A clear progression path from Trainee → Consultant → Senior Consultant
- Ongoing coaching and support from experienced recruiters
- Access to leading recruitment technology and tools
- The opportunity to specialise in exciting technology markets
- Regular incentives and team events
- A supportive, ambitious team environment
- A Manchester city centre office
Why Maxwell Bond?
We're an established specialist recruitment business with a strong reputation across the technology market.
You'll join a team where performance is recognised, development is taken seriously, and there is a genuine opportunity to progress.
Recruitment isn't for everyone. But if you're ambitious, competitive, enjoy speaking to people, and want a career where your effort can directly influence your earnings and progression, it can be incredibly rewarding.
If you're ready to build a career rather than simply find your next job, we'd love to hear from you.
