Job Description:

We’re looking for an associate recruitment consultant to join our temp hospitality division, working across a range of specialist verticals within the hospitality sector.

This is an opportunity for someone early in their recruitment career who’s hungry to learn, build relationships, and develop a desk in a fast-moving market. We’re open on sector background within hospitality, but an interest in the sector is a must.

What matters most is drive, coachability, and a genuine interest in recruitment as a career. Some recruitment or sales experience is useful but not essential; full training and support provided.

What you’ll be doing:

  • – Supporting and growing a temp recruitment desk alongside senior colleagues
  • – Learning to develop new business and build client relationships
  • – Recruiting across hospitality operational and specialist roles
  • – Managing candidate bookings through to shift fulfilment
  • – Building and maintaining an active worker pool within your market
  • – Delivering a fast, responsive service to meet short-notice client needs
  • – Working closely with your manager to develop your desk and skillset

What we’re looking for:

  • – Some experience in recruitment, sales, or a fast-paced customer-facing role
  • – Hospitality sector knowledge
  • – Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • – Commercially minded with a relationship-first approach
  • – Open to business development, with support and training
  • – Ambitious, coachable, and motivated by growth

The role is predominantly office based but you will be required to do site visits and team check-ins as required. A degree of flexibility and a can-do attitude is a must in this job.

What’s on offer:

  • – Salary £27,500-£29,000 depending on experience, plus bonus
  • – Uncapped bonus structure with no threshold
  • – Established brand with strong market reputation
  • – Structured training and mentoring from experienced consultants
  • – Genuine progression path within hospitality recruitment
  • – Supportive leadership team with ambitious growth plans

If you’re looking to start or grow your recruitment career with real support and a clear path forward, we’d love to speak with you.
