Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Manchester
Salary: £25,500 + Uncapped Commission
Location: Central Manchester (with excellent transport links)

Looking to build something for your future, not just find another job?
Dovetail and Slate, an award-winning education recruitment company (Best Company to Work For 2024), is expanding-and we’re on the lookout for ambitious people to join our Manchester team as Trainee Recruitment Consultants.

This is more than just a job-it’s an opportunity to learn commercial and business skills that many never get the chance to develop. You’ll effectively be running your own desk with the backing of a strong team and experienced mentors who want to see you win.

What we’re looking for:

We don’t need tons of experience-just a driven mindset.
Maybe you’ve sold trainers online, flipped tickets, run a side hustle, or just love a challenge-we want people with a bit of hustle.

We’re after someone who:

• Isn’t afraid to get on the phone and start conversations

• Has a resilient, positive approach to work

• Is motivated by goals, progression, and earning potential

• Wants to build a long-term career in a fast-moving, commercially focused environment

• Enjoys being part of a team that’s growing, learning, and celebrating wins together

What we offer:

• Starting salary of £25,500 with uncapped commission

• Structured career development with clear promotion paths

• Full training from day one-plus ongoing learning and mentoring

• A welcoming, supportive team that backs each other

• A central Manchester office close to transport, shops, and cafes

At Dovetail and Slate, recruitment is more than filling jobs-it’s about creating futures, including your own. If you’re serious about getting into recruitment and want to be part of a team that’s building something special, let’s have a chat.
