Trainee Recruitment Consultant.

Entry-Level Recruitment Consultant - a high-energy career for ambitious salespeople

Recruitment rewards the people who love the chase. If you want a career where your effort lands straight in your own pocket, where the harder you work the more you earn, and where no two days look the same, this is one of the best moves you can make.

We are working with a fast-growing specialist recruitment agency that partners with some of Australia's biggest industrial and engineering businesses. The desk is based in Brisbane, one of the fastest-growing markets in the country as South-East Queensland gears up for a decade of infrastructure and major-project work. They want driven, energetic people from sales, customer service, trades, call centres and other client-facing backgrounds who are after more out of their career.

No recruitment experience? No problem. Personality, resilience and ambition matter far more than a CV full of recruitment jargon - they will teach you the rest.

What does the job actually look like?

Think of it as a mix of sales, relationship management, problem-solving and people skills. On any given day you will be:

• Building relationships with companies and helping them hire great people
• Speaking with candidates and helping them find their next opportunity
• Managing multiple jobs, interviews and moving parts at once
• Developing new business and growing your own client base
• Negotiating offers and getting deals over the line
• Working in a fast-paced, social and genuinely high-energy environment
• Recruiting across industries you will actually find interesting - engineering, construction, trades, infrastructure and industrial projects

No two days are the same. One minute you are helping a candidate land a life-changing role, the next you are winning a new client or celebrating a big month with your team.

Why people from sales, trades and customer service thrive in recruitment

The best recruiters rarely come from recruitment. You might have:

• Worked in phone sales, B2B sales, direct sales or account management
• Been in a trade or labour role and loved the people side more than the tools
• Worked in a call centre, admin or scheduling role juggling a dozen priorities at once
• Managed clients, customers or repeat-business relationships
• Chased KPIs, targets or performance bonuses and enjoyed the pressure

If you are naturally competitive, confident on the phone, and motivated by money and progression, recruitment can be seriously rewarding.

What's in it for you?

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission - your earnings are genuinely in your hands
• Clear, structured career progression with no ceiling on how fast you climb
• Industry-leading training and hands-on mentorship from consultants who bill
• Incentives, team events, lunch clubs and a real social culture
• Domestic travel opportunities
• A high-performing, supportive team that genuinely wants you to win
• The chance to build a long-term, high-earning career from the ground up

This is a career where hard work gets recognised fast. The people who do best bring energy, resilience and personality to the table every single day.

The type of person who succeeds here

• Ambitious and self-motivated
• A great communicator who enjoys talking to people
• Naturally relationship-driven
• Comfortable picking up the phone
• Organised and calm under pressure
• Competitive in a healthy way
• Hungry for more, financially and professionally
• Positive, coachable and willing to learn
