LOOKING FOR A CAREER CHANGE WHERE YOU CAN FAST TRACK CAREER SUCCESS AND REACH INCREDIBLE EARNING POTENTIAL?
Searchability – the #1 rated and 100% employee-owned tech recruitment company are looking for an ambitious and hungry candidate to join our team.
Interested in speaking to candidates who have confidence and a great work ethic to join us in our beautiful Chester City Centre HQ.
Base Salary from £26,000 per annum + attractive benefits and first year OTE of £40,000.
WHO WE ARE:
Founded in 2012 in the UK, Searchability set out to disrupt the traditional recruitment market and do things a little differently to help companies attract the very best tech talent. Today our teams operate across four global territories (UK, USA, Australia and UAE) working across our unique full-service recruitment ecosystem.
Last year we transitioned to a 100% employee ownership status, meaning that all employees who join our UK agency will benefit in the future as beneficiaries of the EOT. Due to an exciting period of growth, we have multiple opportunities for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our team working within a key area of our tech digital divisions.

90% of Searchability’s leaders and top billers joined us originally a Trainee! We are looking for someone who is ready to immerse themselves into our recruitment processes, frameworks and systems to learn how to be a top recruiter in their market. This is a fast-paced and sales driven environment, no two days are the same but some of your key responsibilities will include:
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.
