We are now looking for ambitious graduates (2025/2026 year of graduation) to join our growing team as Executive Search Consultants, where you’ll gain the skills, training, and experience to build a successful career in executive search and talent consulting.

The Role

As a Consultant, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-impact recruitment and advisory projects. You will:

• Work closely with clients to understand their business objectives and talent strategies
• Research, identify, and engage with senior-level professionals across specialist markets
• Conduct interviews and assessments to match candidates with the right opportunities
• Manage recruitment processes end-to-end, from initial briefing to offer negotiation and placement
• Build lasting relationships with clients and candidates while developing your own sector expertise

This is a commercially focused, people-driven role offering exposure to senior decision-makers and complex business challenges from the outset.

Training and Development

Your professional development is at the core of what we do. At CMC Partners, you’ll benefit from:

• Structured graduate training programmes designed to build your consulting, research, and communication skills
• Ongoing mentorship and coaching from experienced consultants and industry leaders

We’re seeking graduates who demonstrate:

• Strong commercial awareness and analytical thinking
• Confidence and clarity in communication
• Motivation to succeed in a performance-driven environment
• Resilience, adaptability, and a proactive mindset
• Curiosity about how businesses operate and what drives success

Previous experience in client-facing, research, or sales-related roles is beneficial but not essential.
