Recruitment Consultant | London | £27k OTE £50k (Year One) | Hybrid Working
You didn't work this hard to settle for an average career.
If you're ambitious, competitive and motivated by money, progression and winning, this could be the start of something seriously exciting.
I'm recruiting for an international, high-performance recruitment company operating at the sharp end of the global financial markets.
They work with some of the world’s leading financial institutions, specialising in areas including quantitative trading, hedge funds, commodities, FX, equities, fixed income, credit and derivatives.
And they're looking for their next generation of high-performance recruiters.
Think elite sport meets high finance.
This isn't a traditional graduate scheme where you spend three years waiting for someone to decide you're ready for a promotion.
It's a competitive, commercially driven environment where your performance directly influences your earnings, responsibility and progression.
You'll be trained to become a specialist headhunter and salesperson, building relationships with senior professionals across the financial markets and working with some seriously impressive clients.
You'll learn how to:
- Identify and headhunt exceptional talent
- Build relationships with traders, portfolio managers, quants and senior professionals
- Win and develop relationships with leading financial institutions
- Understand highly specialist financial markets
- Influence, negotiate and close high-value deals
- Build your own network and eventually own your market
This isn't small-ticket sales.
The average fee is $48K, with the biggest fee to date reaching $187K.
You're not selling £20 subscriptions.
You're building relationships around high-value, specialist mandates where a single successful deal can generate tens — or even hundreds — of thousands in fees.
And the earning potential?
Then, once you've completed your first two deals, your base salary increases to £35K.
There's no artificial ceiling on what you can earn.
And to show you what can be possible for an exceptional performer:
One consultant is currently on track to earn £420K in their second year.
That's an exceptional individual example — not a typical outcome or guaranteed salary — but it gives you a sense of the upside available if you become genuinely elite at what you do.
Your progression isn't based on time served.
It's based on performance.
You'll get:
- Structured training and development
- Sales, prospecting and negotiation coaching
- Mentorship from experienced consultants and senior leadership
- Exposure to a truly international market
The goal isn't for you to stay a junior recruiter.
It's to develop you into someone who can own a market, build a powerful network and become a serious commercial operator.
Who are they looking for?
You don't need financial markets experience.
You do need the mentality.
If you've played competitive sport, captained a team, chased performance targets, competed at a high level or simply have that “I want to be the best” mentality, you'll understand the culture.
They're looking for people who are:
People who don't need to be pushed to work hard.
People who want to compete, improve and win.
Because this isn't about building an average career.
It’s about seeing how far you can take it.
