Edmund & Evans
Graduate Recruitment Consultant – Automotive & High-Tech | London


£30,000 Basic Salary + Uncapped Commission | Year 1 OTE £45,000–£60,000 | Top Performers Earning £400,000+


Looking for a graduate recruitment job in London where you can work with global businesses, specialise in cutting-edge technology, and build a genuinely high-earning career?

Edmund & Evans are exclusively partnering with a specialist executive search and recruitment firm that operates across the automotive and high-tech sectors. Working with clients throughout the UK, Europe and North America, they help some of the world's most innovative businesses hire specialist talent in areas including autonomous vehicles, electric mobility, laser technology and advanced engineering.

This is an opportunity to join a business where graduates receive structured training, work on live assignments from day one and develop into high-performing consultants within a market that commands some of the highest recruitment fees in the industry.


About the Business

This specialist recruitment firm partners with world-leading organisations operating across advanced engineering and emerging technologies, including:

  • Autonomous Driving
  • Electric Vehicles & E-Mobility
  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Laser Technology
  • Bionics
  • High-Tech Engineering

Rather than competing in crowded recruitment markets, they focus on identifying highly skilled professionals that other businesses struggle to find. Their consultants become genuine market specialists, building long-term relationships with clients and candidates across the UK, Germany and the United States.

You'll be joining a young, ambitious team where almost everyone started their career as a graduate and progressed through the business.


What's in it for you?
  • £30,000 basic salary
  • Uncapped commission with a flat 20% structure
  • Realistic Year 1 earnings of £45,000–£60,000
  • £100,000+ earning potential from Year 2
  • International incentive trips, including Barcelona, Dublin and Miami
  • Gym membership
  • Monthly lunch clubs and regular team socials
  • Direct mentoring from directors and top-performing consultants
  • Clear progression from Delivery Consultant to 360 Recruitment Consultant and leadership
  • Modern London offices with a collaborative, high-performing culture

One of the firm's top consultants, just three years into their recruitment career, now earns between £400,000 and £500,000 per year, demonstrating the long-term earning potential available to successful consultants.


The Opportunity

You'll join as a Graduate Recruitment Consultant within the delivery team, learning the fundamentals of executive search before progressing into a full 360 recruitment role.

Unlike many graduate recruitment jobs, you'll work on live vacancies immediately, supporting experienced consultants on senior-level appointments with salaries reaching well into six figures.

During your first year, you'll develop the skills needed to identify specialist talent, build candidate relationships and manage recruitment processes before progressing into business development and client management.

This structured approach gives you the opportunity to become a genuine market expert before taking ownership of your own client portfolio.


What you'll be doing
  • Working on live recruitment assignments from your first week
  • Headhunting specialist talent across the UK, Germany and the United States
  • Speaking with senior professionals within automotive and high-tech markets
  • Building long-term relationships with candidates throughout the recruitment process
  • Learning executive search techniques from experienced consultants
  • Developing into a 360 Recruitment Consultant as you progress

This is a role that combines research, sales, relationship building and commercial development, giving you exposure to high-value recruitment from the very beginning of your career.


Who they're looking for

This opportunity would suit graduates who are looking for a challenging but highly rewarding commercial career.

They're particularly interested in individuals who are:

  • Graduates from any degree discipline
  • Confident communicators
  • Naturally resilient and determined
  • Comfortable speaking with professionals over the phone
  • Competitive and motivated by progression
  • Professional, personable and ambitious
  • Looking to build a long-term career rather than simply find their first job

No recruitment experience is required.

The business values attitude, resilience and the willingness to learn far more than previous industry knowledge.


The Culture

This is a business that works hard and expects commitment, particularly during your first year.

The environment is ambitious, supportive and performance-led, with consultants encouraged to learn directly from directors and some of the company's highest performers.

You'll be surrounded by like-minded graduates who are building successful careers together, with regular incentives, overseas trips and a genuine investment in both personal development and team culture.


Why recruitment?

Recruitment offers graduates one of the fastest routes to professional development, commercial responsibility and uncapped earnings.

You'll build an extensive professional network, develop valuable sales and consulting skills, and become a specialist within one of the world's fastest-growing industries.

For ambitious graduates looking for a Graduate Recruitment Consultant job in London, Trainee Recruitment Consultant London opportunity or Graduate Executive Search career, this represents an outstanding platform to build a long-term career.
