Are you a recent graduate or already building your career in a sales-driven environment? Do you thrive on competition and get energised by the opportunity to earn well? If so, stepping into the fast-paced world of recruitment could be your next big move.

This isn't a role for the faint-hearted. It's designed for someone hungry for success, eager to progress, and ready to take on a genuine challenge. If you shy away from rejection, this might not be the place for you. But if you get fired up by a competitive atmosphere and want to work on an international desk within our Life Sciences brand, Blackfield Associates, then you're exactly who we want to hear from.

You don't need prior recruitment experience, nor do you need a background in STEM. You'll be automatically enrolled into our award winning Training Academy, giving you everything you need to excel.

On top of that, this is a truly international role partnering with our US clients while still based in our UK office. Because of the market you'll be supporting, you'll work a tailored schedule a four-day working week, 11am to 8:30pm. It's a unique setup that gives you a global reach and a more balanced work pattern.
