Job Description:

Trainee Recruitment Consultant – Data Centre Network Infrastructure (German Speaker)

City of London (Liverpool Street) | Uncapped Commission

You speak fluent German, and we’ll show you how to turn it into a career. We’re growing our EU team and looking for a German speaker to recruit into the data centre network infrastructure market across DACH.

Most new recruiters have to work out a market from scratch. You’ll join an established EU team, learn from consultants already working in the region, and have a language edge that most recruiters in London don’t.

The role

You’ll run your own desk and manage the process from first contact to placement:

  • Finding and approaching network and data centre infrastructure professionals across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, in German, and learning what motivates them
  • Working with clients to understand what each role needs
  • Managing interviews, feedback, negotiation and offers
  • Building your knowledge of data centre networking and infrastructure
  • Working to individual targets, with commission that rises as you do

What you get

  • A full training programme, a mentor and access to The HB Hub
  • Live roles from day one, plus a team that shares deals through our split-deal structure
  • Uncapped commission, monthly incentive clubs and overseas trips for high performers
  • Hours that work for you: 7:30am-5:00pm Monday to Thursday, and a 3:00pm finish on Fridays
  • A City office with an on-site gym, regular socials and team incentives

Who we’re looking for

No recruitment experience is needed. You might be a graduate, or come from sales, hospitality or another customer-facing job. You must be fluent in German. What matters is that you:

  • Are fluent in German and comfortable holding a business conversation on the phone
  • Are motivated by targets and want your pay to reflect your results
  • Can talk to all sorts of people and build rapport quickly
  • Stay organised and keep going when a week doesn’t go your way
  • Want to learn fast and take ownership of your own desk
