Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Graduate Talent Full time

Looking to start your career in a role where you can learn fast, earn well, and progress quickly?

This Graduate Recruitment Consultant scheme is designed to take you from hands-on operational experience into a client-facing recruitment consultant role — often within your first year.

This is not a "watch and learn" role. You'll be trusted, supported, trained, and challenged from day one.


Your First Chapter: Operations Coordinator (First 3 Months)

You'll begin in the Operations team — the engine room of the business — where you'll learn how recruitment really works and build the foundations for your consultancy career.

During this phase, you'll:

  • Be the first point of contact for candidates and clients (in person, phone, and email).
  • Keep the business running smoothly through a variety of day-to-day admin and coordination tasks.
  • Support the CEO's PA with organisational and project-based work.
  • Create and schedule social media content showcasing jobs, company news, and internal initiatives.
  • Track and present key business data (calls, interviews, attendance, performance).
  • Host fortnightly infrastructure presentations for consultant teams across London, Birmingham, and Brussels.
  • Join weekly consultant training sessions to understand the full recruitment lifecycle.
  • Support consultants with lead generation and candidate pipeline development.
  • It's fast-paced, varied, and the perfect way to build confidence, commercial awareness, and credibility.


Your Progression: From Operations to Consultant

After around three months, you'll complete your operational sign-off and present your learnings to team leaders across the business.

From there, you'll step into a Trainee Temp Consultant role, where you'll:

  • Work directly with candidates applying for temporary roles.
  • Develop your commercial skills and start contributing to revenue.
  • Earn commission, take part in weekly incentives, and enjoy a little healthy competition.
  • With continued training and support, you'll progress to a Temp Consultant, managing temporary assignments and building strong candidate and client relationships.

Many graduates reach this level within their first year.


What's in It for You?

  • Structured, hands-on training from experienced consultants.
  • A genuinely supportive and collaborative team culture.
  • Clear, fast progression from operations into consultancy.
  • Development of communication, organisation, and commercial skills.
  • Competitive earning potential — many graduates achieve up to £50k in their first year.
  • A role that keeps you learning, challenged, and involved from day one.


You'll thrive here if you're:

  • Confident, professional, and enjoy speaking to a wide range of people.
  • Highly organised, adaptable, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proactive, positive, and eager to learn.
  • Interested in building a long-term career in recruitment.
