Frequently asked questions

What does it mean to work in recruitment?

Working in recruitment can be demanding, which is why we provide comprehensive training and development, both through tailored programmes and on-the-job learning. With the right motivation and ambition, it can also be highly rewarding and manageable.

How does the consultant bonus scheme work?

Recruitment consultants often have strong earning potential, supported by uncapped bonus schemes. The bonus structure typically follows a tiered model, becoming more rewarding as your performance increases—so the more you achieve, the more you earn.

Money does motivate me, but what other rewards can I expect from a role in recruitment?

Helping people can be highly fulfilling. Supporting a candidate in securing a new role or helping a client hire the right talent is a real achievement. The office environment is also very positive—being part of a supportive team can be a strong source of motivation in itself.

What personality traits contribute to success in a recruitment consultant role?

Recruitment can be demanding and highly competitive. Our most successful consultants tend to be highly resilient. They also demonstrate strong drive and motivation, work well collaboratively, and value a merit-based environment.
