Join Our Team

Experience helps, but it isn’t the whole story. We hire Graduate and Trainee Recruiters alongside experienced consultants, and what we look for in both is the same: people who are ambitious, resilient, curious and motivated to build something meaningful, for their own career and for the people around them.

Our leadership team is a blend of home-grown talent and experienced external hires. Many of our leaders joined as graduates and worked their way up through the business, while others brought expertise from elsewhere. Together they give us a mix of internal knowledge and fresh perspectives. We value progression, results and clear career development, and many of our courses are shaped by leaders who climbed the same ladder you’re on today.

The people who thrive here tend to give back, whatever stage they’re at. That might mean mentoring colleagues, joining our employee-led forums, or helping to make our offices a great place to work, well beyond the day job.

We have a “specialists not generalist” approach to recruitment, which makes careers here so exciting. Choose a niche market, go deep, and become the recruitment specialist in your area. Your development is built to help you do exactly that.

Whether you’re starting your career or joining with years of experience behind you, you’ll attend our company induction within your first few months, and your development carries on well beyond it. We know everyone learns differently, so you’ll have a mix of classroom sessions, hands-on experience, mentoring and coaching, with a resources library for independent learning. And for those who like clarity: our transparent progression plans set out achievable, rewarding goals.

It’s also about who’s beside you. Our Sales Leaders coach, mentor and invest in their people, and they care about your success! It’s an approach that’s earned us the Princess Royal Training Award. And it’s the same for our support teams, whether you’re joining as subject matter experts a finance, customer care or HR and beyond – we’ll support your knowledge development.

People join Gravitas for the opportunity, and our Gravitonians stay for the people. Great teams are built from people at different career stages: learning from each other, leaning on each other and celebrating together, from monthly Lunch Clubs & ‘once in a lifetime’ holidays to office socials & employee-led wellbeing initiatives.

We know good culture doesn’t happen by accident, that’s why we have a dedicated People team that works with leaders across the business to build ours. Together they look after our learning journeys, onboarding, employee benefits, employee resource groups and the ways we give back to local communities. Inclusion is one of our core ‘orange’ threads, and it starts when you first consider us.

Day to day is our company leaders work on the desks alongside you, so their experience is easy to tap into. And we know company vision plays a huge part in working together as one team, so we share our strategy every year at our company-wide roadshows, so you know our priorities and where we’re heading. Recruitment tech infrastructure is another core thread of our strategy. You’ll have recruitment software and technology platforms to support your work, plus the chance to try new tech as it emerges, so your tools keep up with the market you recruit in. And the standard is the same whichever office you’re in, across the UK, Europe and APAC!

On top of this, we encourage getting outside of your comfort zone, if you’ve got a business idea of your own. We grow from intrapreneurship – that’s how our Manchester office started, after all!

Your commission grows as you do. Our structures are designed to develop alongside our people, so your experience is rewarded and your earning potential increases as your career moves forward. Commission is uncapped, and your career growth is directly linked to the value you create.

For experienced recruiters, our commission structures are highly competitive, with some of the lowest thresholds in the recruitment industry, so you can maximise your earning potential sooner. And whether you’re building your first desk or joining with an established market, you’ll have the support, tools and infrastructure to perform at your best.

Your path forward is tailored to you too. Some Gravitonians choose the Leadership Pathway, building teams and growing as managers. Others take the Practice Pathway, becoming a leading voice in their recruitment market through expertise, a strong network and partnerships. Either way, your progression is shaped around your journey.

Our offices sit in some of the world’s major technology, financial and insurance hubs, which is not by accident - our location align with our recruitment sectors. You’ll specialise in one niche within Technology, Insurance or Banking & Investments, building real expertise as a niche specialist. And you won’t be working in isolation. Our offices collaborate across regions, sharing market knowledge and working together, so what you learn in one market can help a colleague in another.

If you’re joining with experience, we take any non-competes or market restrictions into account as part of your onboarding, so you start in a market that works for you. With eight offices across the UK, Mainland Europe and Asia-Pacific, each of our offices serves the wider region around it, so you’re recruiting where your specialism’s hiring is happening.
