Recruitment Consultant - Entry Level

Take control of your financial and personal ambitions immediately with a career in Sales and Recruitment with Empiric.

The Opportunity

We are excited to offer five incredible opportunities for aspiring Entry-Level Recruitment Consultants to join the two highest performing divisions within Empiric.

This is a highly rewarding role in more ways than one. Financially, you can expect to earn £40K in your first year alone, with many of our consultants hitting six figures within just a few years—and there’s no reason why you couldn’t do the same.

But it’s not just about the money. This role will fast-track your professional growth, giving you hands-on experience in everything from sales and negotiation to communication and marketing. You’ll also be enrolled in our Career Pathway plan from day one, offering you a clear route to success, with the potential to rise all the way to the Board of Directors, thanks to our transparent promotion criteria.

Success in this role is truly transformative—it’s a chance to supercharge your career and achieve more than you thought possible.

Do you already have sales experience that you could bring to this unique opportunity?

To Be Successful

With our award-winning Learning and Development platform and a leadership team made up of some of the top performers in the industry, we will provide you with all the tools, skills, and knowledge to thrive. We’ll make sure you’re not only supported but also highly incentivised to achieve your best.

You’ll master every aspect of the Recruitment Consultant role, including:

• Winning clients who need help finding exceptional, hard-to-find talent to transform their business.
• Building networks and strong relationships with candidates who possess those rare, valuable skills.
• Managing the recruitment process from start to finish—whether that’s presenting CVs, guiding candidates through interviews, or negotiating job offers on their behalf.
• Establishing yourself as a leading figure in your market by building your personal brand.
• Developing excellent skills in communication, sales, negotiation, marketing, and business strategy.

What we need from you is the right attitude and effort. This role is incredibly rewarding, but anything worth having, takes hard work. You will face real challenges, experience tests of your resilience, and learn from tough experiences. Success requires relentless tenacity, a positive outlook, and an unwavering drive. You’ll also need to stay curious and, at Empiric, being a strong team player is essential.

If you see yourself in this description, then you might just have the character and personality to seize this incredible opportunity.

Who We Are

Empiric is an award-winning* technology recruitment company. Our success is built on the platform we provide for our people to flourish (*Think five consecutive years as a Sunday Times Fast Track 100 UK Company and #1 Best Mid-Sized Company to Work For as examples. We have more but want to appear humble).

The approach is simple: give brilliant people the tools, support, and freedom to go and be brilliant. You will start out in recruitment to achieve your financial, career and personal goals, and at Empiric, we will be with you on every rapid step of that journey. No speed cameras.

Our commitment to your aspirations.

To help you achieve your Financial aspirations:

We know that, above all else, being a successful Recruiter is a path to financial freedom. That is why our approach puts personal financial rewards front and centre:

• We are positioned at the very top of the specialist IT Recruitment market. Our margins, as well as the average salaries and rates of the individuals we place, reflect that. Specialist Recruiters earn more.
• There is no such thing as a ‘Soft Landing’ in Recruitment. But with almost twenty years in our market, hundreds of paying customers, many of whom are blue chip, international businesses, and guaranteed jobs for you to try and fill on day one, there are harder places for you to start your Recruitment Career.
• Placements are how you make money, so we spend heavily on giving you the Tools to make as many of them as possible. As standard, you will get – LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn Talent Insights, LinkedIn Adverts, access to multiple Job Boards, Lusha, Ebsta, Daxtra and Salesforce. We will always invest in ways to make your job easier.
• We have a sizeable and passionate Operations & Marketing Team. They aim to ‘clear the runway’ for you so that you can fly. With less ‘Admin’ comes more time to do what you are best at.
• And once you make placements, we will pay you more for completing those placements than you would receive at any comparable Recruitment Business. We have no threshold, and our commission scheme accelerates quickly to 35%.

To help you achieve your Career aspirations:

As well as ownership over your earnings, we want you to have ownership over your career. And True Career Ownership looks like having the Skills, Knowledge, and Opportunity to turn your work into what you want it to be. At Empiric that means:

• Clear, transparent, and uniform Promotion Criteria open to all. We don’t promote on Tenure; we promote on Performance. And due to our mentality of ‘unlimited growth’, there is never a wait to take up a position you have rightfully earned.
• ‘Market Leading L&D’ gets thrown out a lot in Recruitment Consultant Job Adverts. But with 1 full-time member of our Learning & Development Team for every 20 Recruitment Consultants, you can judge us on our actions, not our words. Think bespoke, embedded and forward-thinking learning each day.
• Great people become great by being surrounded by great people. Daily, you will work with Recruitment Professionals recognised across our industry as some of the best.
• Our entire Personal Development Programme is designed to make you the best version of yourself, not just the best Recruiter you can be.

To help you achieve your Personal aspirations:

We are a group of like-minded, high-performing individuals. But we are also all wonderfully unique. Whatever your hobbies, interests or passions, at Empiric, you will find a vehicle to pursue the things that matter to you:

• As we operate in over 40 countries and have six offices across Europe and the USA, we support our people in travelling, working, and even relocating fully to the places they want to be. You could join an existing team or even break out to create office number seven.
• Social Enterprise and Charity Work is more important now than ever. We are proud to support our people in supporting the causes that matter to them. We would be equally proud to support you in causes that matter to you.
• We cannot complete your Bucket List for you, but we may be able to help. We run once-in-a-lifetime Holiday Incentives multiple times each year (work that one out). We also regularly take our team out for incredible dining experiences or trips to major sporting events each month. Think Mexico, think Royal Ascot, and think many, many Michelin Stars along the way.
• Along with incredible experiences throughout the year, our End of Year Awards allow us to present tailored and truly special gifts to our most successful teammates. Only you can tell us what your special gift will be when the time comes!

We are always oversubscribed for every Entry Level opportunity in the business. To avoid disappointment please apply immediately if you feel sufficiently excited about everything you have just read.
