Are you ready to kick-start your career in recruitment with a forward-thinking, dynamic team?


Solis is partnering with a fast-growing recruitment agency to find 2 motivated rookies to join their expanding business. This is your chance to become part of an innovative Talent Solutions provider that’s at the forefront of helping tech startups and global giants win the war for talent.

In this role, you’ll focus on the booming US Tech market, partnering with clients from early-stage startups to established tech leaders across the US. You’ll be integral in connecting top-tier talent with companies shaping the future of technology. As a part of this high-energy, rapidly evolving business, you'll get hands-on experience while growing your expertise in recruitment and talent acquisition.


US market focus means working 11am-8pm Monday to Thursday in the office, with Fridays working from home—great for work-life balance.


Here's what to expect from your role as a trainee recruitment consultant:


  • Time on the phone: You’ll spend a significant amount of time on the phone to build relationships, win new business (jobs), and identify candidates that fit those roles.
  • Mastering LinkedIn: LinkedIn is a key platform for any recruiter, you’ll grow your network, build your personal brand, and be consistently outreaching to clients and candidates to build your pipeline.
  • Managing the full recruitment lifecycle: You'll be sourcing candidates, guiding them through the interview process and supporting them as they start the new role. You'll also learn to handle client communication, manage expectations, and ensure a smooth hiring process for client and candidate.
  • Highly organised: You’ll be writing job adverts, scheduling an coordinating interview process, and have to keep your application tracking system updated accurately – because the devil’s in the detail.


Why should you become a trainee recruitment consultant?

You’ll become a master matchmaker, connecting incredible talent with dream jobs. And you’ll build a rewarding career while you do it. This is what you’ll get with a career in recruitment (that you might not be getting in your current sales role).


  • Career Progression: Recruitment gives an accelerated career path with the chance to move from recruiter to leadership positions based on performance, not just tenure.
  • Financial Rewards: Earn more as you achieve more. Enjoy competitive salaries and uncapped commissions that reward your dedication and hard work.
  • Fast-Paced Environment: Thrive in a dynamic, target-driven industry. Experience an energetic atmosphere where every day brings new challenges and victories.
  • People Focused: Make a meaningful impact by matching candidates with their dream jobs. Build lasting relationships and enrich lives beyond just closing sales.
  • Daily Variety: Enjoy a diverse workday. From interviews to strategizing, each day offers fresh tasks that keep your job stimulating and engaging.

What are we looking for?

  • Ideally 6 months of sales experience (the industry isn’t important, we’re keen to hear about your transferable skills).
  • Motivation and drive. Recruitment is ideal for people that set high goals and work hard to achieve them.
  • Outstanding communication skills (think clear, confident, and friendly).
  • Can juggle multiple tasks at once and keep your cool (because recruitment can get fast-paced!).
  • Team player who brings a positive mindset wherever you go.
  • Willingness to learn. We’re all about raw talent and offer training and support to help you become a recruitment rockstar.
  • Practical judgment. You’ll demonstrate sound decision-making skills and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
  • Resilience. You’ll know this already in your career so far in sales, but every day comes with a new set of challenges, and you need to have that ability to take setbacks in your stride!


Are any of your friends interested in recruitment? We have plenty of opportunities through Solis, feel free to share your friend's details with us and you can earn £250 for any successful placement!
