Job Description:

Our client is a hugely exciting, fast growing Executive Search recruitment specialist at the top of their game.  With a recent record of impressive growth to already become a leading player in the global Legal In-house and Private Practice sectors, they are now looking to add a new small group of Graduate Recruiters to grow with their teams and add to their success in their London main office (they also have with offices in Miami and teams covering New York, Frankfurt, and more).

The Role

• It's an entry-level executive search role designed for ambitious individuals looking to build a long-term career in high-performance recruitment.

• Participating in client presentations, pitches, and candidate interviews
• Developing strong market knowledge to engage senior stakeholders confidently
• Learning how to originate and convert high-value mandates  

Ideally you should have a minimum of a 2:1 degree, but ambition, drive and an entrepreneurial mindset with strong communication skill and commercial awareness is more important.
 
You should also have:

• Confidence in fast-paced, performance-led environments
• High levels of resilience and accountability
• Sales, business development, marketing, consulting, or competitive sporting experience advantageous
• Strong time management, work ethic, and an aptitude for sales processes
• Be motivated by progression, responsibility, and earning potential
• Have a competitive mentality with a proven track record, whether from sporting or academic achievement

 
In return you'll receive:

• Fast-track career progression with early responsibility and exposure to senior stakeholders
• A collaborative, driven, and fast-paced working environment
• Exposure to sophisticated, future-focused markets including Private Practice Law and In-House Legal
• Relocation and international travel opportunities
• Structured training delivered by our experienced Learning & Development team at every stage of your career
• Monthly performance incentives and annual luxury holiday incentives
• Plus a basic salary of £27,000 base with real earning potential of at least...
• Year 1: £40k-£60k OTE
• Year 2: £80k+ OTE
• Year 3: £150k+ OTE
• Uncapped earning potential with a clear, above-market commission structure
• High average fee sizes and faster time to first deal than market norms

This is an enormously impressive, highly successful and fast-growing meritocratic business that rewards performance, initiative, and impact. They invest heavily in training, development, and infrastructure, with dedicated Marketing, Operations, and L&D teams to support consultants in performing at their best. You'll will be surrounded by high-calibre people who are ambitious, supportive, and commercially focused, in an environment that values pace, accountability, and high standards.
