Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Recently Graduated? Not here for another boring job post? Good.

If you’re a recent grad, with some customer service/sales experience thinking “I know I’m capable of more” — this one’s for you.

We’re working with a specialist, supportive, high-performing (and actually fun) recruitment agency in Portsmouth that’s hiring a Trainee Recruitment Consultant. No, you don’t need recruitment experience. Yes, they’ll train you. Yes, you’ll earn good money if you put in the work. (1st year OTE £35k to £42k 2nd year OTE £60k to £72k ) And yes—your ideas, energy, and personality will be valued from day one. Attitude is key here.

And in addition, if you also have a sporting background, that is even more great news! There’s a strong link between competitive sport and success in recruitment—and it’s not just about having a “winning mentality.”

Graduates who’ve spent years training, competing, and performing under pressure bring something invaluable to the workplace:

– Resilience under pressure

– Goal-driven discipline

– The ability to bounce back quickly after setbacks

– A team-first mentality combined with individual accountability

Recruitment is one of the few graduate careers where these traits translate directly into success from day one. It’s fast-paced, high-reward, and performance-based. The effort you put in? You see it reflected in real results—quickly.

Just like in sport, recruitment has:

– Clear goals

– Healthy competition

– Constant development

– High-impact wins

For grads who want more than just a desk job, recruitment offers a career path that rewards ambition and hard work. If you’ve ever played to win, this might be the industry for you.
