    Ambition gets noticed here.

    We're not looking for someone who simply wants to turn up, do the minimum and collect a salary.

    We're looking for people who want to compete, progress, earn and build a career.

    Tradewind Recruitment is expanding its Manchester team and we're looking for high-potential graduates and ambitious professionals who are ready to make an impact in education recruitment.

    No recruitment experience is required.

    What matters is your attitude, resilience, work ethic and ambition .

    You might be a great fit if you:

    • Are naturally competitive

    • Set yourself ambitious goals

    • Are confident speaking to new people

    • Don't take rejection personally

    • Enjoy working towards targets

    • Want uncapped earning potential

    • Thrive in a fast-paced environment

    • Take responsibility for your own results

    • Want progression and responsibility

    • Are prepared to work hard to achieve it

    We hire talent from all kinds of backgrounds.

    Our successful consultants often have experience in:

    • Sales

    • Estate agency

    • Lettings

    • Hospitality

    • Customer service

    • Business development

    • Call centres

    • Retail management

    • Competitive sport

    • University - particularly those who worked alongside their studies

    You don't need to have worked in recruitment before.

    You do need to understand what it means to work hard, deal with setbacks and keep pushing when things don't go your way.

    What does the job actually involve?

    Recruitment is fast-paced, commercial and highly people-focused.

    You'll be:

    • Building relationships with teachers and education professionals

    • Developing relationships with schools

    • Making calls and generating new opportunities

    • Growing and managing your own recruitment desk

    • Matching educators with schools

    • Negotiating placements

    • Developing new business

    • Managing your pipeline

    • Working towards individual and team targets

    • Becoming a specialist in your education market

    Some days will be challenging.

    You'll hear "no".

    You'll have deals fall through.

    You'll have targets to hit.

    But you'll also see a direct connection between your effort, your performance and your earnings.

    That's what makes recruitment such a rewarding career for the right person.

    What you'll receive

    • 30,000 starting salary + uncapped commission from day one

    • Year 1 OTE of 35,000- 40,000

    • Year 2 OTE of 40,000+
