Turn your degree into a commercial career
If you are graduating and want a role that uses your analytical ability, communication skills and intellectual curiosity, this is an opportunity to begin a career in technology recruitment and consulting.
Technology recruitment is a complex, fast-moving market. You will learn how to interpret business signals, understand emerging technologies, analyse workforce trends and turn information into commercial opportunities.
Working directly with an experienced TalentHawk consultant, you will be trusted with meaningful responsibility from the outset and supported to develop towards a future consultant role.  

Your role
You will work across three connected areas:  

Client engagement and lead generation

• Research companies, technology programmes and commercial triggers.
• Identify relevant senior decision-makers and potential client requirements.
• Design and manage targeted lead-generation campaigns.
• Analyse campaign performance and manage opportunities through the pipeline.
• Contact prospects directly and secure introductory meetings.
• Prepare client briefings, presentations, proposals and follow-up material.
• Produce accurate weekly pipeline analysis for the Directors.

Workforce intelligence

• Build relationships with specialist technology contractors and permanent candidates.
• Understand their experience, motivations, availability and career plans.
• Identify emerging skills shortages and changing workforce requirements.
• Turn individual conversations into useful market intelligence.
• Help consultants connect strong candidates with relevant client challenges.
• Maintain an accurate view of the available workforce within your specialist market.

AI, automation and data

• Learn how AI and automation are changing recruitment and sales.
• Use ATS and data-enrichment tools.
• Build and test automated engagement campaigns.
• Analyse results and recommend improvements.
• Review AI-generated material for accuracy, relevance, tone and bias.
• Help develop more intelligent, efficient and personalised recruitment processes.

This is an outward-facing and data intensive role. You should enjoy speaking with people, asking intelligent questions and developing professional relationships and getting results through the application of technology.  

Who we are looking for
You will have completed, or be close to completing, a degree and be ready to apply what you have learned in a demanding commercial environment.

You will also bring:

• Intellectual curiosity and an interest in how businesses, people and technology connect.
• The confidence to communicate with experienced professionals and senior stakeholders.
• Commercial awareness and an interest in sales and business development.
• The ability to analyse information and recognise patterns, risks and opportunities.

• An interest in AI, automation and emerging technology.
• The resilience to follow up professionally and learn from setbacks.
• An ideas-led mindset and a desire to improve how things are done.
• Strong Excel, Word and Presentation skills.

Previous data or sales experience is helpful but not required.

What you will gain

• Direct coaching from experienced consultants and Directors.
• Structured development in recruitment, sales, market analysis and client engagement.
• Practical experience using advanced recruitment technology and AI tools.
• Exposure to major technology transformation programmes and specialist professional markets.
• Responsibility for a defined market, campaign pipeline and candidate workforce.
