Have you considered a career in recruitment?

We appreciate most people don’t grow up thinking: “I am going to be a recruitment consultant.” Yet its fast becoming a career of choice! Why do you suppose that is?

Because it turns natural skills and ability into a high-performance career, high earning and high learning career:

• Uncapped earnings: no ceiling on what you can make
• Fast-track progression: promotions based on results, not time served
• Commercial skillset: sales, negotiation, business development, consulting
• Meritocratic environment: effort directly drives success
• Real impact: helping people build careers while supporting critical industries

Recruitment is a career where you’re in control of how far and how fast you go.

At Ford & Stanley Talent Services Group, we don’t purely rely on securing talented recruiters from direct competitors. We invest in training and developing our own talent with hiring strategy based on mindset, drive, and potential. In June 2026 we have opened up 4-6 opportunities for new team members to join our award-winning business with no direct experience within recruitment.

We have some incredible success stories that include an estate agent bought in as a trainee recruiter and now a Business Area Manager. A restaurant team leader developed into a Head of Research. A university careers advisor now senior consultant. Business graduate now Senior Consultant, Call centre team leader into Operations Manager, car sales executive into managing consultant and ex forces into director. To name a few.

Already successful as

• Car Sales Executive
• Estate Agent / Lettings Negotiator
• Call Centre / B2B Sales Professional
• Automotive, Engineering or Manufacturing Team Leader
• Graduate with competitive backgrounds (sports, business, etc.)
• Ex forces 

You could be exactly who we’re looking for: If you’re used to targets, people interaction, and working under pressure - you already have the foundation. We can take care of the rest.
