Trainee Recruitment Consultant

Birmingham (hybrid working week)

We are excited to be recruiting for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our specialist IT/Tech Public Sector division in our brand new Birmingham office!

At Sellick Partnership, we’re incredibly proud of our journey and the reputation we’ve built over more than 20 years in the recruitment industry. Our experience and longevity in the market has shaped who we are today, but we’re always looking forward. We continuously invest in our people, technology and training to stay ahead in a fast-moving market — and to ensure we keep attracting the very best talent.

Our work ethic sets us apart: we push ourselves to be the best, not just for our clients and candidates, but for each other. We’ve built a high-performance culture where hard work is genuinely recognised, success is celebrated, and ambition is matched with real opportunities to progress. Recruitment is demanding – it takes resilience, self-motivation, and the ability to keep going when things don’t go your way – but it’s also incredibly rewarding. If you're motivated by money and results, working in recruitment gives you the ability to take control of your earnings. We offer a competitive, uncapped commission structure with clear and transparent monthly, quarterly, and annual targets to work towards. To put it simply: the harder you work and the more effort you put in, the more money you will earn.

So whether you’re just starting out in recruitment or looking to take the next step in your career, we’ll give you the tools and support to succeed. You’ll be surrounded by ambitious, driven colleagues who genuinely care about the work they do and the goals they’re striving towards. With the right commercial mindset, a resilient attitude, and a passion for building relationships and working with people, you’ll have everything you need to build a successful and fulfilling career in recruitment with us.
