Top performers can earn significantly more.
This isn't a job for everyone.
If you're looking for a quiet 9-5 where you can sit behind emails and wait for the day to end, this probably isn't for you.
But if you're competitive, ambitious, resilient and motivated by achievement, this could be the start of a serious career.
We're looking for exceptional graduates and high-potential professionals to join our London team at Tradewind Recruitment.

The common factor?
They know how to work hard, handle pressure, deal with rejection and keep going.
