Top performers can earn significantly more.
This isn't a job for everyone.
If you're looking for a quiet 9-5 where you can sit behind emails and wait for the day to end, this probably isn't for you.
But if you're competitive, ambitious, resilient and motivated by achievement, this could be the start of a serious career.
We're looking for exceptional graduates and high-potential professionals to join our London team at Tradewind Recruitment.

A strong work ethic
Confidence communicating with people

The common factor?
They know how to work hard, handle pressure, deal with rejection and keep going.
What recruitment is really like
You'll make calls.

You'll negotiate.
You'll have days where everything goes right - and days where it doesn't.

Because in recruitment, consistency creates results.
At Tradewind, you'll receive structured training, ongoing coaching and the opportunity to progress from Trainee Consultant through to Senior Consultant, Management and Leadership.
