About You: We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who is looking to pursue a career in recruitment and wants to join a company that celebrates success and supports you on your journey to get there. The Associate Consultant training programme is a 6-month training programme designed to cover all aspects of the 360-recruitment cycle.
