You don't have a recruitment background. Good, we'll build you the right way from the start, with no bad habits to unlearn.

Here’s what you need to understand about this job before you read another word. Recruitment done well is one of the few careers where, with no degree required and no ceiling on effort, you can be earning serious money within two years. Not "good for your age" money. Real money. The catch is that most people aren't willing to do what it takes. We’re only interested in the ones who are.

We’re Growth. Five people, Manchester city centre, on track for a seven-figure year. We place talent into Seed‒Series A AI infrastructure companies in San Francisco, the startups building the tools the rest of the AI industry runs on. It’s the fastest-growing corner of the fastest-growing sector on earth, and we got here early.

WHAT THE FIRST YEAR LOOKS LIKE

You’ll learn the craft properly. How to map a market, how to talk to founders in San Francisco, how to find candidates nobody else can, and how to run deals from first call to close. You’ll be trained by people who are billing at the top of the market right now, not reading it out of a manual.

You’ll be given your own niche to grow into, a defined slice of AI infrastructure that becomes yours. No fighting colleagues for the same clients. From the day you’re ready, you build something with your name on it.

It is hard. The first few months are a steep climb and we won’t pretend otherwise. But you’ll never wonder what you’re supposed to be doing, and you’ll never be doing it alone.

WHO THRIVES HERE

We don’t care what you studied or where. We care about hunger, how quickly you learn, and whether you keep going when something isn’t working. If you’ve competed seriously in anything, whether in sport, sales, music, or a side hustle, you’ll recognise the mentality we’re after: obsess over getting better, outwork the room, and finish what you start.

You’ll work US hours, because that’s where our clients are. Later starts, later finishes, and a market that’s wide awake when you call.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

A competitive starting base of £30,000 with no cap on what you can earn as you grow into your desk. Hit your quarterly target and you’re at Lunch Club. Be the standout and you take Presidents Club. When you hit your stretch number, you bank a £5k bonus. And the last Friday of every month is a team social, no targets attached.

You’ll work from 111 Piccadilly (3 days a week) in the middle of Manchester, in a business with a real plan to grow, including expansion into the US. Join as one of six, and you get something you’ll never get at a big firm: a direct line to the founder, a genuine path to running your own desk, and eventually a team, as we scale.

WHY THIS, WHY NOW

Every AI company you’ve heard about this year is built on infrastructure, the models, the tooling, and the compute beneath. Those companies raised billions and cannot hire fast enough. That demand is why this is the best place to learn recruitment: you’re not scrabbling for a market; the market is coming to us. Learn the craft here, in this sector, at this moment, and you’ll be years ahead of those who started anywhere else.
