Opportunity for High-Achieving Grads/Trainees/Salespeople and Recruiters

Mid Sussex (with London Career Progression)

Are you a high-achieving individual who wants the earning potential and pace of a London career, without the cost or commute of city living? If you enjoy conversation, problem-solving, competition and building relationships, recruitment could be the ideal path for you.

For over a decade, I’ve interviewed and placed talented graduates from strong UK universities into specialist recruitment consultancies across Surrey, Sussex and London. Many are now senior consultants, managers, directors and top billers in their markets.

Why these recruitment offers exceptional career opportunities:

1) Exposure to complex, high-value work

Our clients support businesses that regularly hire Wealth Managers, IFAs and other Financial Services professionals. to the most challenging problems companies face.

2) A fast-track commercial career

You will receive structured training and work alongside experienced consultants who will teach you the commercial, interpersonal and strategic skills that many professionals do not gain until much later in their careers.

3) Clear progression and early responsibility

You will build and manage your own market, run your own desk and take ownership of your success in a genuine meritocracy. Graduates receive responsibility early because progression is tied to performance, not tenure.

4) Uncapped earning potential

Commission structures are uncapped. Many graduates reach six figures within three years by combining effort, consistency and strong communication skills, with high-value markets enabling larger fees.

5) A people-focused and intellectually engaging environment

You will speak with decision-makers daily, manage relationships, influence outcomes and help shape careers. You will work in sectors where the work is complex, the problems are fascinating and you learn something new every day.

6) Build a London-level career while working locally

Surrey-based recruitment firms often offer the same calibre of clients, markets and earnings as London agencies, but with easier commutes, better work-life balance and a more supportive environment.

Who this suits

• High-achieving people
• Strong communicators who enjoy conversation and persuasion
• Individuals driven by achievement, progression and financial reward
• People who prefer a stimulating, people-led role over purely technical or analytical work
• People who want a professional London career without leaving Sussex!

Salary and Progression

• Year 1 OTE:£35,000 to £45,000
• Year 2 OTE:£50,000 to £60,000
• Year 3 OTE:£70,000+

If you want a career that is fast-paced, financially rewarding and offers a clear pathway to progression, this could be an excellent fit.
