Leaving college, sixth form or university can feel like a huge leap into the unknown. With so many career paths available, it can be hard to know where to begin. One option that offers both variety and growth, and is often overlooked, is a career in recruitment. 

At The Best Connection, we specialise in helping people just like you get started in the world of work, while also offering clear pathways into recruitment itself. Whether you’re seeking your first role, an apprenticeship or a chance to build on your existing skills, recruitment is an exciting industry with a lot to offer. 

Why Recruitment Is a Great First Step 

1. Entry-Level Opportunities: Recruitment is one of the few industries where you don’t need years of experience to make an impact. Many roles at The Best Connection are designed for newcomers to the sector, giving you a genuine foot in the door. You can start in an administrative, resourcing or trainee recruitment role and learn as you go.

3. Competitive Pay with Room to Grow: Starting salaries for entry-level recruitment positions at The Best Connection are competitive, with clear pathways to higher earnings as you progress. With bonuses and commissions available in majority of our roles, your effort and results can directly impact your income. 
4. Buildable & Transferable Skills: Working in recruitment develops skills that are in demand across almost every sector. From communication, negotiation and relationship-building to business development and time management, the skills you gain at The Best Connection will stay with you throughout your career. 
5. Career Progression: Recruitment isn’t just a job; it’s a career that can grow with you. Many of our consultants have progressed from entry-level positions to senior roles within the business, managing teams, offices or even regions. We support you every step of the way with clear progression routes and ongoing professional development.
