Trainee Recruitment Consultant

We are looking for ambitious and motivated people to join our growing recruitment business.

You might be a graduate ready to start your career, or you might be looking for a career change and a new challenge. You do not need previous recruitment experience to apply. We hire on potential, values and attitude, and we will teach you everything you need to succeed.

At AJ Fox Compliance, we train people to become genuinely consultative recruiters. You will learn how to add real value to both clients and candidates, build trusted relationships, and support long-term career and hiring decisions rather than chasing quick wins. We are a values-driven business that takes the long view in everything we do.

We are a young, growing company, and this role is an opportunity to be part of an exciting journey. You will not be dropped into a rigid, tick-box role. Instead, you will have the chance to develop your skills, carve out your own space, and make a real impact as the business grows. Our culture is friendly, down-to-earth and genuinely supportive, with a strong team mindset and shared success.

There is strong earning potential for people who work hard, develop quickly and perform well.

What will your role involve?

• Sourcing, screening and registering candidates using job boards and LinkedIn.
• Building relationships with clients to understand their hiring needs and priorities.
• Acting as a trusted advisor, sharing market insight and taking a consultative approach.
• Assessing candidate experience, motivations and skills to match them with suitable roles.
• Coordinating interviews and supporting candidates through preparation and feedback.
• Managing offers, including salary and benefits discussions, and ensuring a smooth process.
• Keeping accurate records of activity and conversations in our applicant tracking system.
• Developing deep knowledge of our niche, law firm risk and compliance.

What are the benefits and perks?

• Clear career progression and structured development
• Flexible and hybrid working
• 25 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays

• Casual dress code
• Team incentives and additional personal incentives from time to time
• Your very own AJ Fox mug. Yes, you really do get one

What are we looking for?

• Experience in recruitment, sales or estate agency is helpful but not essential.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• A good moral compass. We are not interested in aggressive or sharky sales styles.
• Critical thinking and good judgement, with a calm and thoughtful approach to problem-solving.
• High emotional intelligence and an interest in understanding what motivates people.
• A long-term mindset with ambition and a desire to build a successful career.
• Self-motivation, resilience and a proactive work ethic.
• A personable nature and enjoyment of speaking to new people.
• A team-first attitude and willingness to celebrate the success of others.

If you want to build a rewarding career in recruitment, be trained properly, and work in a business that genuinely cares about how it operates, we would love to hear from you.
