Are you a go-getter and a self-starter?

Do you have an unquenchable thirst for learning?

Do you have energy, enthusiasm, a love for being the best you can be and have the ambition to build a fantastic career?

Do you have a passion for people?

Have you got bags of charisma? 

Are you someone that constantly looks for the positives in every situation and learns something when things don’t quite go to plan?

Have you got the TACIT skills that we look for?

You don’t have a lot of sales experience?  That’s okay!  We will train you.  We can teach skills, but we can’t teach hunger and a positive attitude.

We are looking for

Intelligence – a degree will be helpful, but the ability to ‘think on your feet’ and take quick action is what we need. 

Strength of Character – a never give up kind of attitude, and your CV should demonstrate this.  Perhaps you have played sport at a high level or represented your school in debating competitions, were involved in the Student Union, led charity fundraising campaigns or something similarly ‘outstanding’ like working for charities on a volunteer basis, climbing mountains, undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh or similar awards, etc.  As you can probably tell, we are looking for an achiever with a ‘zest for life’.  A vital part of the interview process will be on your attitude, aspirations, and determination to get ahead in life. 

A Great Communicator – a brilliant relationship builder who can quickly and naturally engage with people.

Ambition - someone who is exceptionally goal-oriented with a ‘can do’ attitude and happy to be out of their comfort zone occasionally.

Coachability - A self-motivated individual who wants to learn, grow, and be their best.

We have steadily grown since 2007 and specialise in executive sales recruitment.  We place salespeople across all levels and offer a unique recruitment service with true differentiators.  Sales recruitment is more about matching personality, character and sales approach than just experience and qualifications.  Hence, it’s very busy, fast-paced, and we like to think, significantly more enjoyable than other industry sectors.

Whilst previous recruitment experience is not required, a positive and success-led attitude is imperative.  At Aaron Wallis, we enjoy over 70% repeat business levels, and some of our clients have worked with us since our inception.  We have a unique culture that is not a usual ‘corporate’ recruitment environment, and you will be mentored on a 1:1 basis by a highly experienced recruiter and given every possible tool to succeed.

Our commission scheme is easy to understand and generous.  You should realistically earn £20K to £30K above your basic salary in your first year. 

To finish, you will be a team player that will willingly help and support others.  You will be looking for a long-term career move within a business that is continuously evolving and changing.  We are looking for people who will eventually part-own our business.  The ride will be fun, want to join us?
