Associate Recruitment Consultant

Associate Recruitment Consultant (Executive Search)
£40,000 realistic OTE in year one
Start your career in executive recruitment—working with senior leaders and top UK businesses from day one.
  
We’re a long-established, independent recruitment firm based in Bristol, with over 45 years’ experience. But more importantly, we’re proud of how we work: collaborative, down-to-earth, and driven by strong relationships—not egos.
  
This isn’t a typical “London-style” recruitment environment. We combine high standards with a supportive, social team culture rooted in the Southwest.
  
Hybrid working 2-3 days per week in Bristol.
  
Why join us?

• Structured training from day one—no prior recruitment experience needed
• Clear progression into senior and specialist roles
• Real earning potential (£40k OTE in year one, with growth beyond)
• A genuinely social, team-focused environment
• Early exposure to senior candidates and business leaders

  
What you’ll be doing

• Researching markets and identifying senior talent
• Building relationships with high-level candidates and clients
• Managing candidate processes from first conversation to placement
• Supporting executive search campaigns across a range of industries
• Meeting clients and candidates in professional environments

  
What we’re looking for
You don’t need recruitment experience—but you do need the right mindset:

• Confident communicator who enjoys speaking with people
• Ambitious and motivated to build a successful career
• Resilient and comfortable working towards goals
• Professional and able to engage credibly with senior individuals
• A team player who values collaboration over competition

Experience in sales, recruitment, or customer-facing roles is helpful, but not essential.
  
If you’re looking for a career where you can learn quickly, earn well, and be part of a supportive team—without the intensity of a traditional city firm—we’d love to hear from you.
