Edmund & Evans are proud to be partnering with one of the UK's fastest-growing specialist recruitment businesses, hiring for their July 2026 graduate intake.

The Opportunity

Joining as a Graduate Recruitment Consultant, you'll specialise in AI and technology recruitment while learning from consultants already performing at a very high level.

Your first few months are dedicated to structured training, giving you the foundations needed to build a successful recruitment career before managing your own client and candidate relationships.

You'll learn how specialist recruitment works, understand your market and gradually begin managing your own recruitment processes with ongoing support from experienced consultants and managers.

What you'll be doing
  • Building relationships with candidates across AI, data and technology markets
  • Learning how leading businesses hire specialist talent
  • Managing recruitment processes from interview through to offer
  • Developing long-term relationships with candidates and clients
  • Growing your own specialist market and personal network
  • Working towards consistent billings with support from experienced mentors

This is a role where your responsibility increases as your confidence and experience develop.

Who they're looking for

This entry-level recruitment role in Bristol is ideal for:

  • Graduates from any degree discipline
  • Individuals with sales or customer-facing experience
  • Early-career professionals looking for a more rewarding commercial career

Successful consultants are typically:

  • Confident communicators
  • Self-motivated and ambitious
  • Organised and proactive
  • Professional in their approach
  • Keen to learn and develop
  • Motivated by progression and uncapped earning potential

No previous recruitment experience is required. Your attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn are far more important.

Why choose recruitment?

Recruitment offers one of the fastest career paths available to graduates.

You'll develop commercial skills, build an extensive professional network, work with leading businesses and earn uncapped commission based on your performance.

With structured training, genuine career progression and the opportunity to specialise in one of the UK's fastest-growing markets, this role provides an excellent platform to build a successful long-term career.
