At VIQU IT, we’re looking for ambitious, resilient and commercially minded individuals to join us as Trainee Recruitment Consultants, with a strong focus on sales, business development and generating new client relationships.
You don’t need recruitment experience, if you can sell, build relationships, and thrive in a performance-led environment, we can teach you the rest.
The role
As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be trained to become a full 360 consultant, with a strong emphasis on the sales and revenue-generating side of recruitment.

You’ll learn how to:
Proactively win new business and develop new client relationships
Identify sales opportunities within your market
Conduct business development calls and meetings with decision-makers
Build and manage your own client portfolio
Negotiate fees, terms, and offers
Deliver against revenue and billing targets
Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from client acquisition to placement
This is a fast-paced, target-driven role where your effort directly impacts your earnings and progression.
Who we’re looking for:
We’re particularly keen to hear from people with experience in:
B2B sales (IT hardware/software, telecoms, SaaS, professional services, etc.)
Business development or account management
Outbound / phone-based sales environments
Any role where you’ve worked to KPIs, targets, or commission
You’ll be a strong fit if you are:
Commercially driven and money-motivated
Confident speaking to senior stakeholders
Resilient and comfortable with rejection
Competitive, proactive, and results-focused
Keen to build a long-term career, not just a job

We offer:
Clear, structured career progression based on performance
Uncapped, industry-leading commission scheme
Proven success stories including board members who started as consultants
Comprehensive sales and recruitment training
Ongoing mentoring from experienced leaders
A collaborative, high-performing culture that celebrates success
Whether your ambition is to become a top biller, market specialist, or move into leadership, we’ll support you every step of the way.
Benefits
Alongside a competitive base salary and uncapped commission, you’ll enjoy:
Additional Family First leave days
Early Friday finishes
Friendly, modern office environment
Bring your dog to work
International annual Christmas conferences (previous destinations include Malta, Dubai, Havana & Rio de Janeiro)
Regular socials and team events
Monthly “Spin the Wheel” rewards for exceptional performance (extra holiday, coffee treats, restaurant & experience vouchers)
