Recruitment Consultant

Liverpool Street, London | £26,000 base + uncapped commission | Full-time, Permanent We started in a cupboard. Now we're recruiting the people who power the internet across the globe. That's not a slogan we made up for this ad, it's literally how Hamilton Barnes began in 2014, and it's still what we do today: connecting the engineers who build and secure the world's networks, data centres and infrastructure with the companies that need them. We've grown from two people and a cupboard into a specialist consultancy working with everyone from ambitious SMEs to global hyperscalers, and we've been recognised as one of the Financial Times' Top 500 Fastest-Growing Companies and a Sunday Times Best Place to Work along the way. None of that happens without the right people on the desks. That's where you come in. The Role You'll learn recruitment from the ground up: sourcing talent, building relationships with candidates and clients, and running the full process from first conversation to placement. No two days are the same, and unlike most jobs, your progression and earnings are entirely in your own hands. What you'll actually be doing * Sourcing and engaging top talent across your specialist market * Pre-qualifying candidates and getting under the skin of their skills, experience and goals * Managing the full recruitment cycle from first contact through to placement * Building your own client base as you grow into the role * Hitting targets in a fast-paced, genuinely competitive environment * Building your personal brand and network via LinkedIn, events and client meetings What makes someone right for this We can teach you recruitment. We can't teach drive. So we're looking for: * A competitive streak in team sport, individual sport, or just someone who can't stand losing * Confidence on the phone and strong communication skills * Someone building a career, not filling time until something better comes along * Money-motivated with genuine long-term ambition * It’s a plus for previous experience in retail, hospitality, sales or anything customer-facing, but it's not essential No recruitment background needed. No specific degree needed. What we actually care about is work ethic, resilience, and whether you're willing to learn. What you'll get * A structured training programme, led directly by our CEO * Progression based on performance, not how long you've been in the seat * Uncapped commission: your ceiling is whatever you're willing to work for * A competitive, team-driven culture where wins get recognised * Regular incentives, socials and a lively office people actually want to be in Sound like you? If you're driven, competitive, and want to build a career rather than clock in and out, apply now. We'll take it from there
