Build a specialist recruitment career at a firm that grows its own

Most recruitment agencies treat consultants as interchangeable. Churn-and-burn desks, manufactured KPIs, a revolving door of trainees who didn't make it. That's not how CBW was built.

We're a specialist FM, engineering and construction recruiter. We grow people — most of our senior team started as Resourcers and worked their way up at CBW. We run a sustainable business — which means uncapped commission, genuine career paths, and a culture that respects you have a life outside work.

If you want to build a serious recruitment career in sectors that actually matter — and work alongside colleagues who've built that same path ahead of you — read on.

Who thrives at CBW Staffing Solutions

• Experienced consultants (2+ years agency) — you're bored of generalist desks, tired of artificial KPIs, and ready to own a warm client book in a specialist sector with room to scale.
• Resourcers and trainees — you've done 6–12 months in agency and want a proper path to 360° recruitment, mentored by people who've just made that jump themselves.
• Apprentices and career-changers — you're starting out. We offer structured apprenticeships in Administration and Recruitment, with paid training, clear milestones, and a team that'll actually teach you.

What you get

The earnings

• Uncapped commission. Our top performers earn [£X+]/year. No ceilings, no quiet recalibrations, no retrospective changes to the plan.
• Competitive base salary, benchmarked against the specialist recruitment market and reviewed annually.
• Clear bonus triggers — you always know where you stand.

The career path

• Resourcer → Consultant → Senior Consultant → Team Leader →Manager → Director. A real, well-trodden ladder. Current members of our management team have walked every step of it.
• Monthly development reviews — not performance reviews. What you want to learn, where you want to get to, what we're doing to help.
• No territory restrictions in the UK. Spot an opportunity anywhere in our sectors, anywhere in the country — it's yours to build.

The work itself

• An established client book. You inherit warm relationships with some of the UK's biggest FM, engineering and construction names — not a cold-call list.
• A modern tech stack, fully accessible remotely.
• Regional offices in London, Dartford and Edinburgh

What we ask in return

We're honest: recruitment is a demanding job. We don't pretend it's a 9-to-5, and we don't hire people who'd rather coast. What we ask is straightforward — genuine care about your clients and candidates (no spray-and-pray), willingness to go deep on one specialism rather than dabble across five, integrity (no candidate ghosting, no exaggerated CVs, no shortcuts), and team behaviour: help the person at the desk next to you, even when it doesn't directly earn you anything.
