Trainee Consultant

Trainee Consultant

Keen to start your career in a high expectation, client facing role?

Opportunity

As a trainee recruitment consultant you are starting a career in client facing role with uncapped earning potential and all the tools to develop your career as a recruitment consultant. From the beginning, you will be expected to contribute, talk to clients, meet candidates, learn how to interview, understand what the recruitment process is, and attend client meetings. You will be learning with your senior colleagues on the desk, giving you excellent exposure. Formal training takes place via our parent company’s online and in-person comprehensive training courses, as well as ISE’s tailored training. With uncapped commission and your success entirely driven by you, you have an open ended opportunity to develop and thrive! We look for graduates with an interest in global affairs, the financial services sector and business in general.

Training and Progression

At ISE Partners your progression is entirely led by you, within our tailored progression plan and appraisal system. With clearly defined financial and activity targets which will be tracked throughout the year, you can plot and plan your development progress to target the next level promotion. Endless training courses are available online and in person via Pertemps’ extensive training courses and training platform. You can sign up to as many as you would like, repeated courses as needed to hone your techniques. ISE’s own boutique training courses give you the tailored approach needed to best support our clients and candidates.

Autonomy

At ISE Partners you will be given structure, guidance and training to learn how to operate as an informed, credible and successful recruiter. The rest is up to you! This is a mature working environment where you will be trusted to get on with the work set, and run your day as best suits your energy and motivation levels. With experienced colleagues readily available to support you, there is help on hand, but you can also feel confident we trust your ability to work independently too.

Beyond Recruitment

Progression

At ISE Partners, your development doesn't stop once you've mastered the desk. As a valued member of the ISE team, you'll have access to accredited qualifications and ongoing mentoring designed to sharpen your billing, negotiation and client management skills. We invest in consultants who want to build a long-term career in recruitment, not just hit a target. You'll work alongside experienced Directors and senior consultants who are generous with their knowledge, and you'll be encouraged to specialise further within your sector as your client base grows. Whether that means deepening your expertise in a particular industry, taking on line management responsibility, or building towards a Director-level future, the path is yours to shape. It's a role with real scope to grow, not just a job to grow tired of.

Life at ISE

Recruitment is demanding, so we make sure the culture matches the effort. Everyone works in a close-knit, sociable team that celebrates wins together, from team lunches to the annual ski trip. You'll be trusted with autonomy over your desk, supported by Directors who genuinely want to see you succeed, and surrounded by colleagues who share leads and advice rather than competing for them. It's a fast-paced environment, but one where hard work is recognised and rewarded, and where new ideas from consultants at every level are always welcome. From Friday early finishes to regular socials, we've built a place where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, and where the results speak for themselves.
