If you've spent years competing in sport, pushing yourself to improve, working relentlessly towards results and performing under pressure, recruitment could be the perfect next challenge.

We are looking for ambitious graduates with a sporting background to join our high-performance recruitment team. No previous recruitment experience is required — we're looking for the attitude, work ethic and competitive mentality that separates high performers from everyone else.

Recruitment is a results-driven, target-focused and highly competitive industry. Your success is directly linked to the effort you put in.

You'll be responsible for building relationships with businesses, identifying talent, winning new clients and successfully placing candidates into exciting opportunities.

Think of it as competitive sport — but your performance, results and earning potential are in your hands.

• Building and managing relationships with clients and candidates
• Developing new business through outbound calls, networking and business development
• Identifying and attracting high-quality candidates
• Conducting interviews and assessing candidates
• Negotiating salaries and managing the recruitment process
• Working towards individual and team targets
• Developing your own market and becoming an expert in your chosen sector
• Competing for monthly and quarterly incentives
• Working closely with high-performing colleagues to achieve team goals

We are particularly interested in graduates with a sporting background, including athletes, sports scholars, team players, captains and competitive individuals.

You don't need recruitment experience. What matters to us is:

• Competitive mentality – you want to win and hate losing
• Strong work ethic – you're prepared to put in the hours to achieve your goals
• Resilience – you can handle rejection and bounce back quickly
• Ambition – you want a career where progression is earned through performance
• Communication skills – you're confident speaking to new people
• Results-driven mindset – you care about measurable outcomes
• Team mentality – you know how to perform individually while contributing to a wider team
• Coachability – you're willing to learn, take feedback and constantly improve

We offer a genuine high-performance environment where your progression isn't determined by how long you've been in the business — it's determined by what you achieve.

You'll receive structured training, ongoing coaching and the opportunity to progress quickly into senior and leadership positions.

You'll also have:

• Competitive basic salary
• Uncapped commission
• Fast-track career progression
• Regular incentives and competitions
• High-quality training and development
• Team events and rewards
• A performance-driven culture
• Clear promotion targets
• The opportunity to build a highly successful career in recruitment

Sport teaches you things that can't always be taught in a classroom.

Discipline. Resilience. Competition. Accountability. Teamwork. Mental toughness. The ability to perform under pressure.

These are exactly the qualities that create successful recruitment consultants.

If you're a graduate who wants to compete, earn, progress and build something for yourself, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today to start your career as a Graduate Recruitment Consultant.

Sports graduates, athletes and competitive individuals are particularly encouraged to apply.
