Job Description

GRADUATE Recruitment Consultant!

· Durley, Southampton

· No experience needed

· Training provided

· Full Time, 25-26K

Not sure what comes after university?

A lot of graduate roles promise progression, training and "great earning potential".

Very few put you in an environment where you can genuinely build a successful career from day one.

At Highfield, we recruit into industries helping shape the future - including data centres, water, nuclear and critical infrastructure projects across the UK, Europe and the USA. Meaning they offer stability through economy rises and downfalls.

We're growing our Southampton-area team and looking for ambitious graduates who want more than a standard office job.

What does the role involve?

Recruitment is fast-paced, people-focused and commercial.

You'll spend your time building relationships, learning specialist markets, speaking to professionals daily, and helping businesses hire the people they need to deliver major projects.

You'll learn:

How to build and manage client relationships
How to interview and assess people
How to negotiate and influence
How to develop business and spot opportunities
How to become a specialist in a niche, growing industry 

No recruitment experience needed.

We'll teach you the skills - you bring the attitude.

We're looking for people who are:

Competitive and motivated
Confident speaking to people
Resilient and coachable
Ambitious about progression and earnings
Comfortable working in a high-performance environment
2026 graduates (or graduating this year) 

A driving licence is preferred due to our location in Durley.

What you'll get:

Uncapped commission with no minimum threshold
Structured training and development
Clear progression pathways
Flexi Fridays (3pm finishes)
Wellbeing allowance
Travel opportunities across Europe and the USA
A supportive but ambitious team environment
The opportunity to build a genuinely high-earning career early on 

Recruitment often gets labelled as a "churn and burn" industry. And honestly, in some businesses, that reputation exists for a reason. High pressure, little support, unrealistic expectations, and people treated as replaceable. That's not how we work. We hire for long-term careers, not short-term numbers. We invest heavily in training, development, wellbeing and progression because we know people perform best when they feel supported, trusted and challenged in the right way. Recruitment is still demanding, it should be; but we believe high performance and genuine care can exist together.

Apply now or get in touch to learn more.

Benefits:

Casual dress
Free parking
On-site parking
Referral programme
Sick pay
Work from home 

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Southampton (Hampshire)
