Full job descriptionGraduate / Entry-Level Recruitment Consultant


London


£27,000–£35,000 base + Uncapped Commission (Realistic £40k–£60k+ Year 1)


Not your typical "graduate scheme".


We work with some of the strongest recruitment and executive search firms in London. These are high-performing, commercially driven environments placing into hedge funds, PE, SaaS, tech and other top-tier markets.


They are not looking for "just any graduate".


They’re looking for people with a bit of edge.


You might be:
• A 2024–2026 graduate
• Someone who worked alongside your degree
• From a competitive sport background
• In SDR/BDR, estate agency or another sales role
• Naturally commercial and driven
• Impatient to build something properly


You do NOT need recruitment experience.


You DO need:
• Confidence speaking to people
• Resilience
• Strong work ethic
• Commercial awareness
• Genuine ambition


What you’ll get:
• £27k–£35k starting base salary (depending on experience)
• Uncapped commission (most earn £40k–£60k+ in year one)
• Clear progression pathway
• Access to high-level markets
• Proper training and mentorship
• Adult working environments (no micromanagement, just performance)


This isn’t an "easy" option. But for the right person, it can be an extremely rewarding long-term career.


If you’re currently in a grad scheme that feels slow, a sales role that feels capped, or you’ve just finished uni and want something more commercial - apply today!


Recruitment People is here to support you all the way through this process, make sure you feel fully prepared for every interview and coach you on how best to communicate why you are the best person for this outstanding opportunity.
