ATHLETES ONLY – Associate Recruitment Consultant in Manchester

Have you competed in sport? Do you have the discipline, resilience, determination and competitive mindset to succeed beyond the sporting world?

We are recruiting exclusively for individuals with a genuine sporting background to join us as Associate Recruitment Consultants.

IMPORTANT: A sporting or athletic background is an ABSOLUTE MUST.

This is an opportunity for athletes looking to transition from sport into a rewarding, full-time career in recruitment.

Whether you've competed professionally, semi-professionally, at university, nationally or at a high-performance level, we want to hear from you.

We believe the qualities developed through sport – resilience, discipline, coachability, competitiveness and an exceptional work ethic – are exactly what it takes to thrive in recruitment.

To be considered, you MUST have:

• A Genuine Sporting Background: You must have competed in a sport. Professional, semi-professional, university, national, regional or high-performance sporting experience is welcomed.
• Resilience: A proven ability to overcome setbacks, deal with pressure and keep going when things get difficult.

• Full training and ongoing development.
• Clear career progression opportunities.
• Standard company benefits.
• A competitive, high-performance working environment.
• The opportunity to build a successful career in recruitment.

Positions are available across UK and US recruitment markets, with working hours aligned to the relevant market.

ATHLETES – THIS IS YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE.

You've spent years competing, pushing boundaries, overcoming setbacks and working towards success.

Now it's time to bring that same mentality into business.

If you have a genuine sporting background, an outstanding work ethic and the ambition to succeed, we want to hear from you.
