US Market - Structured Career Path - £49k+ Yr 1 OTE

We’re representing a high‑performing, US‑focused search firm operating within the construction and built environment sector. Established in 2019, the business has scaled quickly and is now hiring Trainee Recruitment Consultants for its next growth phase.

This is a firm that blends true search methodology with the pace and earning potential of contingent recruitment — resulting in faster progression and higher billings per head.

• 30%+ year‑on‑year revenue growth since inception
• Team of 25 consultants across the UK and offshore support
• £180k average annual billing per consultant
• Average Year 1 personal income: £49,500
• Average Year 2 personal income: £65,000
• Largest single monthly commission paid: £22k+
• Strong retention by industry standards (close to 90% in year one)

• Mapping US construction markets and competitor landscapes
• Conducting phone‑led search campaigns (not CV‑farming)
• Developing long‑term client relationships
• Managing full 360 recruitment processes
• Working on retained, exclusive, and high‑quality contingent searches

You’ll operate in US time zones where required — this is a serious, professional sales role with high expectations.

• Associate → Consultant → Senior Consultant typically within 18–24 months
• Average time from Consultant to Senior: 12 months
• Young leadership team, with the youngest manager promoted at 23
• Long‑term opportunities in team leadership, division management, and equity participation for top performers

• £27,500 Basic Salary
• No artificial thresholds
• High fees driven by US market exposure and retained work

• Want a career with a direct correlation between effort and income
• Are resilient, commercially minded, and comfortable on the phone
• Prefer structure, training, and accountability over “plug‑and‑play” recruitment
• Are ambitious enough to aim beyond just being a biller

No prior recruitment experience is required — attitude, work ethic, and coachability matter more than background.
