High Performance. High Earnings. Fast Progression.

We're growing our London education recruitment team and are looking for ambitious, commercially minded individuals who want a genuine high-earning career in sales.

This is not a passive office job - it's a fast-paced, target-driven sales role where effort, resilience, and performance directly translate into commission and rapid career progression.

If you're competitive, money-motivated, and thrive in high-pressure environments, this is an opportunity to build a serious career in recruitment.

The Role

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll operate in one of the UK's most active education markets, working with schools across London to place teachers and support staff into critical roles.

You will build your own desk from day one, developing both candidates and clients while being fully supported by structured training and experienced leadership.

Key responsibilities:

• Proactively sourcing and headhunting education professionals
• Building and managing relationships with London schools
• Conducting interviews and qualifying candidates
• Negotiating and closing placements
• Working towards clear, performance-based targets

Your earnings are directly linked to your output - the more you put in, the more you earn.

What You'll Be Doing (Day-to-Day Sales Focus)

This is a sales-first role:

• Cold calling and business development to win new candidates and clients
• Pitching candidates to schools and securing bookings
• Managing a pipeline of opportunities
• Closing deals and generating revenue from day one

Training & Development

No recruitment experience required - we hire for drive, attitude, and sales ability.

You'll receive structured training covering:

• Sales and business development fundamentals
• Negotiation and objection handling techniques
• Candidate sourcing and headhunting strategies
• Client relationship management
• Performance mindset and resilience under pressure

Clear, merit-based progression is available for high performers.

What We Offer

• £32,000 basic salary
• Uncapped commission structure
• Fast-track progression based on performance
• High-energy, supportive team culture
• Regular incentives and performance rewards
• Ongoing training and development
• Generous holiday allowance and wellbeing support

Who We're Looking For

We want people who are:

• Competitive and money-driven
• Confident communicators
• Resilient and comfortable with rejection
• Target-focused with a strong work ethic
• Ideally from a sales, retail, hospitality, sport, or graduate background

If you can sell, influence, and stay resilient under pressure, you will succeed here.
