Entry Level Recruitment Consultant
Spinningfields, Manchester
Throughout 2024
If you have a natural flair for building relationships, bags of ambition, an entrepreneurial spirit and want work in an environment where the effort you put in directly affects your earnings and trajectory of your career - as well as having a lot of fun along the way - then read on!
We are recruiting for a number of bright, results driven and commercially minded individuals to join the Oliver James team here in Manchester.
No experience is necessary - as an Associate at OJ you'll benefit from industry leading training and coaching throughout your career, kicking off with our 12-week Academy which is designed to ensure you are equipped with all the skills and tools necessary to become a part of our next generation of top performers. Prior sales experience is beneficial but not required.
What we do ask is that you are prepared to work hard, have a genuine passion and interest in the recruitment sector, thrive in a target driven environment, and are as relentlessly committed to your learning and development as we are!
How is this different to other entry-level recruitment roles?
- 12-week Academy training before you join your team and market
- Train as part of an Academy group (6 - 10 per intake)
- Multiple specialist market options available, from Tech to Finance to Legal and more!
- Despite being one of the largest and most profitable Recruitment businesses on the planet, we've never lost sight of what matters most - our people! Check out our GlassDoor reviews to see what they have to say about life here at OJ.
What will I be doing?
The role of a recruiter is varied and rewarding, it centres around building and maintaining relationships and networks within your chosen specialism in order to match the right candidates with the right opportunities.
You'll be undertaking tasks such as:

What's in it for me?
We pride ourselves on creating the perfect environment for our people to thrive, and believe in giving them the authority and accountability to be responsible for the speed and success of their own career progression and development.
We work hard, are ambitious, but most importantly, we celebrate success and love what we do!
