Recruitment Consultant

Junior/Trainee Recruitment Consultant/Recruitment Consultant - US Desk (Embedded/RPO) | Manchester

Location: Manchester (Leeds also considered)

Salary: £28,000 - £32,000 + Commission (realistic minimum £2k/month)

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Hybrid: 1-day WFH per week

We're partnering with a fast-scaling Embedded/RPO recruitment business to hire 5-6 Trainee Recruitment Consultants/Recruitment Consultants for their growing Manchester or Leeds team. This is a genuinely different opportunity - you'll be working exclusively into the US market, delivering as part of an embedded recruitment team directly into client businesses, rather than running a traditional agency desk.

What is Embedded/RPO recruitment?

Instead of working a broad portfolio of one-off agency roles, you'll sit within (or work as a dedicated extension of) a client's internal talent team, focusing on their live roles, building strong stakeholder relationships and becoming a trusted extension of their hiring process. It's a great way to develop consultative, client-facing skills fast.

The Role

• Full 360/delivery-focused recruitment into US-based roles – minimum 6months experience required
• Working closely with client stakeholders as an embedded partner, not a third-party agency
• Core hours 10:30am - 7pm (to align with US time zones) - flexibility on start/lunch, with most people logging back on in the evening
• Career development: while this role starts out working within their embedded client accounts, there's a clear path to progress into a full 360 consultant role as you grow

What's on Offer

💰 £28,000 - £32,000 basic salary

💸 Realistic minimum earnings of £2k/month

🏡 1-day WFH per week

📈 Strong pipeline and genuine investment going into the team as the business scales

🌎 The business also has an office in Los Angeles - genuine potential to relocate to the US for the right performers down the line

🤝 Exposure to working with innovative, exciting client businesses

What We're Looking For

✅ Driven, ambitious and keen to grow within a business investing heavily in its people

✅ Sporting backgrounds are always ambitious - a competitive edge and team mentality go a long way here
