Kick-start your career in Recruitment Are you ambitious, competitive and looking for a career where your effort directly impacts your earning potential and progression?

We’re looking for a Trainee Recruitment Consultant to join our growing Manufacturing & Engineering team in Perth.

No previous recruitment experience? That’s okay. We’re looking for the right attitude, personality and drive. You’ll receive the training, support and guidance to develop into a successful 360 Recruitment Consultant, while building your own network and specialist market.

You’ll work across the full recruitment lifecycle — from speaking with businesses and understanding their hiring needs, through to sourcing candidates, managing interviews and making successful placements.

The Role
  • Learn and develop the skills required to become a successful 360 Recruitment Consultant
  • Build relationships with clients and candidates across the Manufacturing & Engineering sectors
  • Source and identify quality candidates across technical, trade and engineering positions
  • Develop your own network, market and client portfolio
  • Learn business development, candidate sourcing, interviewing and negotiation
  • Work alongside experienced consultants who will support you throughout your development
  • Take ownership of your desk and progressively build your own successful recruitment business
About You We’re not necessarily looking for recruitment experience — we’re looking for potential.

You could be:
  • A confident communicator who isn't afraid to pick up the phone
  • Competitive, ambitious and motivated by achieving targets
  • Resilient and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
  • Naturally curious and interested in people and business
  • Someone who enjoys building relationships and influencing outcomes
  • Commercially minded with a strong work ethic
  • Hungry to learn, develop and progress your career
  • Looking for a career where your earning potential isn't capped
Sales, customer service, hospitality, business development or other relationship-focused experience is advantageous, but not essential.

Why Join Us? We believe recruitment should be rewarding — both professionally and personally. 

Flexible 35-Hour Work Week
Work a 35-hour week with flexible start and finish times around our core hours of 9am–12pm and 2pm–4pm.

Years of Service Leave

Maternity & Parental Leave

High Achiever Rewards
Performance is recognised and celebrated through our 100K Quarters, Quarterly Afternoon Outs, Annual Trip and Building Trust Awards.

Compassionate Leave
Up to 5 days paid leave for each occasion of compassionate leave.

Christmas Closure
We close our offices over the Christmas period — in addition to your accrued annual leave entitlements.

Flexible Annual Leave
Need a holiday before you've accrued enough leave? We allow employees to go into a reasonable negative leave balance.

Flexible Work Attire
Forget the suit and tie. Dress professionally and appropriately for your day — while being ready for any last-minute client or candidate meeting.

Build Your Career With Us This is more than an entry-level job.
We’ll give you the training, tools and support to build a genuine career in recruitment, with a clear pathway to becoming a successful 360 Consultant, Senior Consultant and beyond.

You’ll have the opportunity to build your own market, develop long-term relationships, grow your network and directly influence your earning potential and career progression.
