Already succeeding in sales but looking for a bigger challenge?
You've proven you can build relationships, work towards targets and consistently deliver results.
Now imagine applying those skills in a career where your earning potential is uncapped, your progression is based entirely on performance, and you're given the opportunity to build your own market and personal brand.
At g2 Recruitment Bristol, we're looking for ambitious sales professionals who want greater financial rewards, faster career progression and more ownership of their success.
Why Sales Professionals Thrive in Recruitment
If you've worked in sales, you'll already understand how to:
- Build rapport and trust quickly
- Work towards targets and KPIs
- Stay motivated through rejection
- Influence and negotiate effectively
- Manage relationships with multiple stakeholders
- Take ownership of your results
- Compete in a performance-driven environment
These are the qualities that drive success in recruitment.
What's in it for You?
Uncapped Commission Structure
Recruitment combines the relationship-building element of sales with the opportunity to earn commission from every successful placement you make.
At g2, there is no limit on what you can earn. The more revenue you generate, the more commission you take home. As your client base, network and market knowledge grow, your earning potential grows with it.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
