Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Construction Recruitment

Opportunity to learn, grow & build a successful career

Location: - Office based in Blackfriars, London

Hours: Monday - Thursday 08:00 - 17:00 & Fridays 08:00 - 16:30

Ready to kick-start your career in recruitment? If you’re someone who:

Has the drive to succeed

Has experience working in a full-time role and understands what hard work looks like

Is eager to learn, develop, and build a long-term career

…then this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

You’ll get hands-on training, real responsibility from day one, and a clear path for progression in a fast-paced, high-reward environment.

You might be someone who:

• Is confident, outgoing, and enjoys building relationships with people online and offline (but most importantly in Real Life…)
• Strong communication skills - you will be talking to clients from all walks of life, so the ability to know the difference between a "morning BRUV" or a "good morning, Tom" is needed (seems obvious, but trust me - it's not...)
• Is genuinely eager to learn the ins and outs of recruitment and the construction industry
• Has a positive, “can-do” attitude and isn’t afraid of a challenge
• Wants to build a long‑term career with clear progression opportunities
• Is not afraid to talk to people, day in, day out - face to face or over the phone
• Takes initiative and is not afraid to ask questions.
• Would jump at the chance of meeting a client face to face - on a construction site or in a swanky office in Mayfair.

What We Offer

This is the perfect entry point into recruitment, with structured training and genuine progression opportunities. Our package includes:

• Clear career progression path
• Tenure‑based annual leave increase
• Quarter‑end company activities
• Birthday off
• Early finish on Friday
• Access to a financial advisor

Modern, well‑located office with fantastic hotel‑style lounges and an awesome rooftop, boasting incredible views of London - perfect for making the most of those summer days

What you can expect from this role:

• Year one - head down, training, repetition - the ‘blood, sweat and tears’ year.
• Year two - you’re starting to have a clue about what you are doing, candidates and clients remember you and you will have made a few placements which will feel quite exciting (but also heartbreaking when the placement falls through.)
• Year three - the penny fully drops, you have your own candidate and client pools, your placement numbers should have grown considerably, as well as your earnings and overall commission.
• Year four - BINGO. Welcome to the Senior Recruitment Club!

This is obviously a tongue in cheek summary but should give you an idea of what you are embarking on. Success in recruitment doesn’t usually happen overnight. It comes from the unglamorous daily grind of showing up, not giving up, drinking too much coffee and trusting the process. By stacking tiny, repetitive wins day after day, that persistence finally pays off when your dream candidates suddenly start accepting your offers!

If you’re still reading and ready to start an exciting new career, then maybe this is the place for you to take your first step into recruitment.
