Want to kickstart a career in high-performance tech recruitment with real training, real support, and real earning potential?

 

Talent Aligned is growing and we’re looking for a motivated Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our small, specialist team.

We’re a true technical recruitment agency - founded by someone with an actual engineering background and backed by a larger recruitment group that’s about to go through a major period of growth. If you want mentorship, hands-on training, and the chance to build a real career in recruitment, this is the opportunity.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • Sales experience (retail, phone sales, B2B, door-to-door - any proactive environment)
  • Interest or background in Engineering or IT
  • Someone hungry, coachable, competitive, and proactive
  • Strong communication skills and confidence speaking with people
  • A drive to build relationships and succeed in Business Development
  • A genuine desire to build a recruitment career, not “just a job”

 

What The Role Involves

  • Sourcing, headhunting, interviewing, and building candidate pipelines
  • Supporting on engineering & technology roles from day one
  • Learning to handle clients and run your own desk
  • Business Development: prospecting, mapping the market, winning work
  • Developing a niche specialism within engineering or IT

 

What You’ll Get

  • Full, structured training from a consultant with a real technical background
  • Backing and stability from a larger recruitment group
  • Clear growth pathway into Consultant → Senior → Principal → Team Leader
  • Competitive commission structure with strong earning potential
  • All the best sourcing tools in the market to help you headhunt properly
  • Supportive, buzzing office environment with 20+ consultants onsite
  • Incentives including lunch clubs, trips away, and performance rewards
  • The ability to work with clients as genuine partners - not transactional recruiters

 

If you’re ambitious, eager to learn, and want to grow inside a specialist tech recruitment agency, we’d love to speak with you.
