As a Recruitment Consultant, you’ll begin by focusing on candidate sourcing — learning how to identify, qualify, and manage top talent to meet your clients’ needs.

We’re seeking driven, confident, and ambitious individuals who are ready to take ownership of their success.

You should have:

• A degree (preferred but not essential) - we value ambition and drive over academic background.

• Ideally, experience in B2B sales or another performance-based role (advantageous but not required).

• A strong work ethic and motivation to achieve both professional and financial goals.

• Key traits such as tenacity, ambition, charisma, integrity, confidence, and resilience.

• A genuine desire to build a long-term career in recruitment and excel in a target-driven environment.
