Graduating university is such an exciting time filled with so many opportunities, yet knowing what path to take can be daunting. To help you out, here’s why we chose to enter the world of recruitment at JFL.

KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

Recruitment gives you the opportunity to learn about both the industry you are recruiting for and the recruitment industry itself. It teaches you skills such at negotiation, resilience, confidence and empathy which are key in any successful role.

MONEY

Recruitment not only gives you a good basic salary, but it also gives you the opportunity to make commission throughout the year on top which leads to a very competitive package. You can make as much money as you like!

TEAM STRUCTURE

At JFL we all work collaboratively and sit together, giving graduate consultants the chance to learn directly from Directors and senior members of the team, something you don’t often get exposure to. You also get given a lot of responsibility from the get-go which really helps to build your confidence.

SOCIABILITY

Everyday in recruitment is different in one way or another which means it never gets boring and always keeps you on your toes!
