Trainee Recruitment Consultant - Technology - June Start
Datacentre & Infrastructure | London Bridge | EMEA Markets


Some of the best recruiters in the industry are choosing to leave established platforms to join this build. That should tell you everything about the opportunity.
This is not another trainee role entering a crowded team or a well-trodden market.
Edmund & Evans are working with a technology recruitment business at the start of a new growth cycle, focused on the datacentre and next-generation infrastructure space across EMEA. Backed by an established international group and proven leadership, they are building a specialist function with intent, not volume.
You will be joining at the point where experienced, high-performing recruiters are actively choosing to be part of the journey. As a trainee, that gives you direct exposure to the standards, behaviours, and mindset required to succeed at the top end of the market.


The Business and the Opportunity
The business operates as part of a wider global recruitment group with an established presence across technology markets and a track record that includes a successful exit.
They are now entering a new three-year growth phase, focused on scaling a specialist datacentre and infrastructure offering. This is a market seeing sustained global investment, driven by cloud growth, AI, and digital transformation.
The structure offers the best of both environments:
*The backing, infrastructure, and client access of an established international group
*The pace, autonomy, and opportunity of a new team build
This is not a large intake. It is a selective hire of individuals who will contribute meaningfully and develop quickly.


The Role
This is a trainee position with a clear pathway into a contract-focused recruitment consultant role.
You will be trained to operate in a high-value, international market from the outset.
Your responsibilities will include:
*Building and developing your own client base across the datacentre and infrastructure market
*Engaging senior stakeholders across complex, international organisations
*Supporting and progressing high-value contract assignments across EMEA
*Identifying and engaging high-calibre, often passive, candidates
*Learning how to win new business through structured outreach and relationship building
*Managing the recruitment process end-to-end with a consultative approach
You will gain exposure to senior roles such as programme managers, architects, and specialist engineers, operating within long-term, high-value projects.
This is a role focused on developing commercial capability and market ownership, not just activity.


Who This Is For
This opportunity is aimed at individuals who want to build a serious, long-term career within recruitment.
You may be:
*A graduate with strong communication skills and a clear commercial mindset
*A sales professional looking to move into a more strategic, relationship-led environment
*Early in your career and motivated by progression, responsibility, and performance


More important than background is profile.
You will be:
*Credible and confident when dealing with senior professionals
*Motivated by progression and long-term earning potential
*Proactive, resilient, and comfortable working in a high-performance environment
*Interested in international markets and complex client relationships
*Serious about building a career rather than finding a short-term role
This is not suited to individuals looking for a heavily managed or purely transactional environment.


What Is On Offer
This is a platform built to develop consultants properly, with the leadership, infrastructure, and market to support long-term success.
*Base salary of £27,000–£30,000
*Uncapped commission (20%–35%) with no threshold in year one
*First-year earnings expected to exceed £40,000, with strong progression beyond


You will also benefit from:
*Direct mentorship from Directors with 10–20 years of experience
*Structured training and ongoing development from day one
*Access to a wider executive search group, including five brands and global C-suite networks
*Collaboration across international markets and high-level client relationships
*Exposure to one of the fastest-growing sectors in global technology
Alongside performance, the environment is designed for sustainability:
*Gym membership support from day one (Hussle)
*Early finish on Fridays (15:30)
*A mature, professional, and social culture focused on long-term success


Closing
This is a rare opportunity to enter the recruitment industry in the right way, within a business that is being built with purpose, backed by experience, and operating in a market with genuine long-term demand.
Edmund & Evans are partnering closely with this search and are prioritising individuals who demonstrate the ambition, professionalism, and potential to develop into high-performing consultants.
If you want to learn from people who have already built successful businesses, and now choose to do it again, this is worth serious consideration.
