If you’re going to start in recruitment, you may as well do it in a market where the fees justify the effort.
This business is focused on the US data centre space — one of the fastest-growing and best-paid markets globally. Average fees sit at ~£35k, meaning you’re working on high-value roles from day one, not grinding out low-margin placements.
They’re early-stage (currently a team of 5) with a clear plan to scale to 25 by the end of 2027. The difference is the people leading it — proven operators who’ve already built and worked within a successful PE-backed recruitment firm. They know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get people up to speed quickly.
The role:
You’ll be trained properly — not thrown into the deep end with a script and a target. From day one, you’ll be working a live, candidate-short market in the US, speaking to high-level professionals and building a desk with real earning potential.
Why this stands out:
- High-value market (avg. £35k fees) — fewer deals, bigger upside
- Clear growth plan: 5 → 25 people by 2027
- Leadership team with a proven track record in a PE-backed environment
- Structured training with direct access to experienced billers
- Progression based on performance, not time served
What they want:
- Degree Educated
- Can start immediately
- Strong communicators who are comfortable picking up the phone
- People who are competitive, but not corporate
- Commercial awareness — you understand this is a sales role
- No prior recruitment experience needed
The reality:
It’s not easy — recruitment never is. But in the right market, with the right people around you, it’s a very different proposition.
If you want to build something early, learn from people who’ve already done it properly, and earn well while doing it, this is worth a look.
