Job Description

Launch Your Sales Career in Recruitment with Tradewind - London

Are you ambitious, target-driven, and looking to break into a high-performing sales career? Tradewind Recruitment is seeking motivated individuals to join our specialist training programme - the Impact Academy - based in our London office.

If you're commercially minded and eager to build a successful business development career, this is your opportunity to join one of the UK's leading education recruitment agencies and a five-time Sunday Times Top 100 Company to Work For.

Why Join Tradewind Recruitment?
At Tradewind, we believe in rewarding performance, supporting development, and promoting from within. We offer:

  • Competitive starting salary of £29,000 - £32,000, with realistic first-year earnings of £35,000 - £40,000

  • Immediate access to commission - start earning from your first day

  • 35 days annual leave, plus reduced working hours during school holidays

  • All-expenses-paid trips to international destinations as part of company incentives

  • A vibrant, social office environment with strong peer support

  • Ongoing investment in your training, development, and career progression

What You'll Be Doing
This is a commercial sales role with a strong focus on business development and client growth. From day one, you'll be:

  • Building and developing relationships with new and existing schools

  • Generating leads through proactive outreach and client meetings

  • Managing the full recruitment cycle - from sourcing candidates to placing them in roles

  • Working to sales targets and KPIs, with full support to help you succeed

  • Collaborating with a high-performing team and learning from top billers in the business

What You'll Gain from the Impact Academy
Our in-house training programme is designed to set you up for long-term success. You'll receive hands-on coaching in:

  • Business development strategy and client acquisition

  • Negotiation, objection handling, and margin management

  • CRM and compliance best practices in education recruitment

  • Candidate sourcing, screening, and placement techniques

  • Professional communication and time management

After your first year, you'll graduate to your own sales desk with continued support and advanced training - without the pressure of a sink-or-swim culture.

Who We're Looking For
We're interested in people with a strong work ethic, resilience, and a passion for success. While previous sales experience is a plus, it's not essential - we value:

  • Strong communication skills and a confident, outgoing personality

  • A natural ability to build relationships and influence others

  • A goal-oriented mindset and hunger to achieve results

  • An interest in education, business, or people-focused work

  • A proactive attitude and willingness to learn
