Why did you choose a career in recruitment?
Like many people, I fell into recruitment. I started in 2020 at the height of COVID and quickly fell in love with the high intensity, high trills and high stakes of recruitment. Seeing senior people around me doing well really drove me to be like them and become one of the most high performing consultants in the room. Recruitment brought out the competitive nature and love of winning into the day job, making going to work in the morning feel more like going to play a game, rather than turning up to a chore.
What has been the most significant achievement you’ve experienced so far in your career at Irving Knight?
The satisfaction of hiring my first Graduate Consultant in 2024, who I have coached and seen them eclipse my success of billing £50,000 in their first 3 periods and getting promoted to Senior Consultant. Making them the highest performer of the graduate intake of 9 graduates in the class of 2024.
Why did you choose Irving Knight?
I chose Irving Knight because they facilitate and give you the autonomy to own your dedicated market and have no restrictions or boundaries of recruiting any role, anywhere in the road. They take care of everything so that you can just go out there and focus on generating revenue by any means possible. They also foster a real strong culture of accountability and transparency. Everyone has the same target and commission scheme. The commission scheme is unrivaled and there is no nepotism meaning that everyone has access to up to 60%. Having been capped at 10% in a previous consultancy, whilst I knew that other senior consultants had access to beyond that made Irving Knight really refreshing.
