Full job description

Elite Graduates - Executive Search Researcher

Brighton | Hybrid - 3 days in office
£30,000 - £35,000 Salary + £12,000-25,000 Commission

This is a strong opportunity for an exceptional graduate looking to start a career in high-value executive search.

You’ll join an established search business working on senior-level international mandates, helping identify and engage hard-to-reach talent for clients operating across complex specialist markets.

This is not high-volume recruitment.

Around 63% of assignments are retained, with an average fee of approximately £45,000 - the work is much more research-led and analytical.

The Opportunity

You’ll work closely with one of the business’s highest-performing consultants, supporting them across live executive search assignments.

Day to day, you’ll be involved in:

  • Researching and mapping specialist international markets
  • Identifying senior and executive-level candidates
  • Approaching and engaging hard-to-reach talent
  • Building detailed market intelligence
  • Supporting retained search assignments from initial research through to shortlist
  • Developing a strong understanding of client businesses and their competitors
  • Learning how senior-level executive search is delivered properly

Over time, you’ll become a genuine specialist within your market rather than simply sourcing CVs.

Why Executive Search?

The clients are paying for insight, judgement and access to people they often cannot reach themselves.

That means the role rewards people who are:

  • Intellectually curious
  • Analytical
  • Commercially aware
  • Comfortable understanding complex businesses
  • Confident speaking with senior professionals
  • Naturally interested in how industries and companies work

You’ll learn how to break down a market, understand where the strongest talent sits and build credible relationships with senior candidates internationally.

Who They’re Looking For

The business is particularly interested in high-calibre graduates.

Ideally, you’ll have:

  • A 2:1 degree or above
  • An academically rigorous or complex subject background
  • Strong written and verbal communication
  • Commercial awareness
  • Confidence and maturity
  • Strong research and problem-solving skills
  • The ability to absorb complex information quickly

Sales experience is highly desirable, particularly if you’ve worked in a professional, consultative or target-driven environment.

Previous recruitment experience would also be an advantage, but executive search experience is not required.

More important is that you are bright, ambitious, commercially minded and genuinely curious.

Why Join?

  • Work on high-value retained searches
  • Average fee of approximately £45k
  • Around 63% retained mandates
  • Learn directly from a top-performing consultant
  • Exposure to senior and executive-level candidates
  • International market coverage
  • Strong training and development culture
  • Clear long-term progression
  • Hybrid working - 3 days per week in the Brighton office
  • Nearly 50% colleague owned

This is an excellent route into recruitment for someone who wants something more intellectually engaging than a typical entry-level sales role, but still wants a career with strong commercial upside and progression.

How to Apply
Submit a CV to be considered – please ensure you match the required experience as stated in the advert.
