Who We're Looking For

We're looking for people who have already demonstrated that they can work hard, perform under pressure and achieve results.

Recent graduates

If you're a recent graduate, you must have worked throughout university alongside your studies.

Your experience could be in:

• Hospitality
• Sales
• Sports coaching or sports-related roles
• Education
• Customer service
• Other fast-paced or performance-driven environments

We're not looking for graduates who simply have a degree.

We want people who have already demonstrated a strong work ethic.

Non-graduates

If you're not a graduate, you should have:

• Experience in a fast-paced environment
• Demonstrated career progression
• A track record of achievement
• Experience dealing with people, customers or clients
• Transferable skills that can be applied to sales and recruitment
• The ambition to build a successful career

You don't need previous recruitment experience.

What matters is whether you have the drive, resilience and ability to succeed.

The Mindset We're Looking For

This role requires someone who is:

• Resilient
• Confident
• Competitive
• Self-motivated
• Ambitious
• Hard-working
• Results-driven
• Comfortable under pressure
• Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment

You will experience challenges, rejection and demanding targets.

But if you have the right mindset, the rewards can be significant.

Hard work. High reward.

Driving Licence Requirement

For our Birmingham office, you must have a full driving licence or be currently learning to drive with a driving test booked.

What You'll Do

As a Recruitment Consultant, you'll:

• Interview and assess candidates

• Manage your own recruitment desk
• Work towards weekly and monthly KPIs
• Build your sales and negotiation skills
• Develop new business opportunities
• Manage and grow client relationships
• Work in a competitive, target-driven environment
• Receive daily coaching and development

You'll have the training and support to develop - but your ambition and performance will determine how far you progress.

Career Progression

Once you've completed the Impact Academy, you'll progress into a full recruitment and sales role, developing specialist skills across:

• Business development
• Sales
• Negotiation
• Margin management
• Client acquisition
• Account management
• Candidate attraction
• Relationship management
• Leadership

At Tradewind, progression is based on performance, not simply time served.
