Junior Recruitment Consultant

Wilson Grey is a specialist recruitment business focused on senior hires for early-stage tech startups and high-growth companies. We work across SaaS, FinTech, and Digital Health, supporting founders and leadership teams as they scale.

We’re hiring a junior recruiter who wants to learn the craft properly: how to run structured searches, speak to senior candidates, and deliver high-quality shortlists - without the “spray and pray” agency approach.

What you’ll do:

Support live searches and learn end-to-end recruitment fundamentals, including:

• Market mapping and talent research (finding the right target companies and profiles)
• Outreach and candidate engagement (LinkedIn, email, phone)
• Screening calls and structured note-taking
• Building shortlists and writing clear candidate summaries
• Interview scheduling and candidate management
• Keeping our CRM clean and up to date
• Learning how retained search projects run

What we’re looking for:

You don’t need recruitment experience. You do need:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence speaking to new people every day
• Strong work ethic
• Pace, organisation, and attention to detail
• A commercial mindset (you’re comfortable with targets and feedback)
• Curiosity about tech and how startups grow
• Reliability - if you say you’ll do something, it gets done

On offer:

• Hands-on training in search and headhunting (not just CV admin)
• Daily coaching and weekly structured training sessions
• A clear framework to follow: scorecards, outreach templates, and process
• Exposure to senior roles and founders from day one
• Modern tooling, including automation/AI where it genuinely helps

Compensation & working pattern:

• Base salary dependant on work experience
• Uncapped commission with realistic first-year earning potential as you ramp
• Hybrid working (mix of home + office)
• Flexible hours where it makes sense (outcomes matter)
• 20 days holiday (increasing with tenure) + birthday day off
• Team socials and a supportive environment (high standards, no politics)

Recruitment is a sales career. You’ll be building relationships, handling rejection, and learning fast. If you want a role where you can develop serious commercial skills and progress quickly, you’ll get that here.

How to apply:

Submit your CV and cover letter explaining why recruitment, and why startups, and what you’ve done that shows pace, resilience, and organisation.
