ATHLETES ONLY – Associate Recruitment Consultant in Nottingham

Posted by Crossover Partner Group Ltd

£28,000 – £30,000 a year

Nottingham · Permanent

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.

The Role – Associate Recruitment Consultant

You'll be joining a fast-paced, target-driven recruitment environment, working across either the UK or US markets.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building relationships with clients and candidates.
  • Identifying, sourcing and approaching top talent.
  • Managing candidates throughout the recruitment process.
  • Developing new business opportunities.
  • Negotiating offers and successfully completing placements.
  • Working towards individual and team targets.
  • Building your own network and developing a successful recruitment career.

Full training will be provided. Previous recruitment experience is NOT required.

We are hiring based on your sporting background, mindset and potential – not your previous recruitment experience.

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.
  • Exceptional Work Ethic: The discipline and dedication to consistently put in the effort required to achieve your goals.
  • Competitive Drive: A desire to win, improve and outperform expectations.
  • Commitment: A genuine desire to commit to a full-time role and build a long-term career.
  • Coachability: The ability to take feedback, learn quickly and continuously develop.

We are specifically looking for ATHLETES who want to transfer their sporting mentality into the commercial world.

What's on Offer?

  • Up to £30,000 basic salary.
  • Uncapped commission – no limit on your earning potential.
  • 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.

Start Dates & Markets

We have multiple opportunities available for:

  • November 2026 starts.
  • December 2026 starts.
  • January 2027 and throughout 2027.

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.
