Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Every experienced recruiter started somewhere.


At Enterprise Recruitment, we’re looking for someone at the beginning of their career who wants to learn recruitment properly and build long-term success in the industry.


You don’t need recruitment experience. What matters is attitude, communication skills and the drive to develop in a sales-driven environment.


We are a specialist engineering recruitment company working with businesses across software, electronics, mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Our team is small, experienced and stable, with everyone in the business having been here for over three years. We believe in building careers, not churning people through the door.


You’ll work alongside experienced consultants who will train you step by step, showing you how the recruitment industry really works and how to build a successful desk over time.


The opportunity


This role is designed to give you the foundations of a successful recruitment career.


You’ll start by learning how to identify and engage talented engineers, building candidate networks and supporting live recruitment projects. As your confidence grows, you’ll develop the skills needed to manage clients, win business and eventually run your own desk.


Many recruiters start in this position and go on to specialise in their own technical markets.


What the role looks like

• Sourcing and identifying candidates for technical vacancies
• Speaking with candidates to understand their skills, experience and career goals
• Supporting consultants with live recruitment projects
• Building talent pipelines and candidate networks
• Learning how recruitment works from the ground up

What we’re looking for

• Confidence speaking on the phone
• Strong communication skills
• Motivation to learn and develop in a sales environment
• Someone who enjoys speaking to people and building relationships
• A positive attitude and strong work ethic

We work mainly from the office because that’s where the best learning happens. Being around experienced recruiters every day means you can pick things up quickly, ask questions and develop much faster than working remotely.


What you’ll get

• Full training from experienced recruiters
• A strong commission structure
• Clear progression into a Recruitment Consultant role
• Regular team trips away
• Monthly team meals
• A supportive and collaborative environment

Our principles are simple.


Everyone makes the tea.
No egos.


Be relentlessly on it.
Hard work and consistency matter.


Principles and profit.
Do the right things and success follows.


If you’re looking for a career where you can learn valuable sales skills, earn commission and build long-term opportunities, this is a great place to start.
