Sanderson

Associate Recruitment Consultant (Executive Search)
£40,000 realistic OTE in year one

Start your career in executive recruitment-working with senior leaders and top UK businesses from day one.

We're a long-established, independent recruitment firm based in Bristol, with over 45 years' experience. But more importantly, we're proud of how we work: collaborative, down-to-earth, and driven by strong relationships-not egos.

This isn't a typical "London-style" recruitment environment. We combine high standards with a supportive, social team culture rooted in the South West.

Hybrid working - 2-3 days oer week in Bristol.

Why join us?

  • Structured training from day one-no prior recruitment experience needed
  • Clear progression into senior and specialist roles
  • Real earning potential (£40k OTE in year one, with growth beyond)
  • A genuinely social, team-focused environment
  • Early exposure to senior candidates and business leaders

What you'll be doing

  • Researching markets and identifying senior talent
  • Building relationships with high-level candidates and clients
  • Managing candidate processes from first conversation to placement
  • Supporting executive search campaigns across a range of industries
  • Meeting clients and candidates in professional environments

What we're looking for

You don't need recruitment experience-but you do need the right mindset:

  • Confident communicator who enjoys speaking with people
  • Ambitious and motivated to build a successful career
  • Resilient and comfortable working towards goals
  • Professional and able to engage credibly with senior individuals
  • A team player who values collaboration over competition

Experience in sales, recruitment, or customer-facing roles is helpful, but not essential.

If you're looking for a career where you can learn quickly, earn well, and be part of a supportive team-without the intensity of a traditional city firm-we'd love to hear from you.

Reasonable Adjustments:

Respect and equality are core values to us. We are proud of the diverse and inclusive community we have built, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and perspectives. Our success is driven by our people, united by the spirit of partnership to deliver the best resourcing solutions for our clients.

If you need any help or adjustments during the recruitment process for any reason, please let us know when you apply or talk to the recruiters directly so we can support you.
