Hunter Bond Recruitment Training Programme

Hunter Bond Associate Programme

London | Autumn 2026 | Competitive Salary + Uncapped Commission

What if your first job actually set you up for the rest of your career?

At Hunter Bond, we’re looking for people who want more than a graduate job they can tick off for a year before figuring out what’s next.

The Hunter Bond Associate Programme is built for people who are competitive, confident, curious and want to see how far they can take themselves.

You don't need to know anything about recruitment when you join us. You don't need years of experience. You don't even need to know exactly what market you want to specialise in.

What you do need is drive .

We'll teach you how to identify great people, get them interested in opportunities they didn't know existed, build relationships with some seriously impressive businesses and ultimately become the person those businesses come to when they need exceptional talent.

And you'll be doing it in some of the most interesting areas of recruitment, from Quant Trading and AI to Technology and FinTech.

So, what does an Associate actually do?

A lot.

You'll spend your days speaking to people, researching markets, finding talent and learning how to become genuinely good at what you do.

That means:

• Hunting down candidates who aren't necessarily applying for jobs
• Speaking to people working in some of the most competitive areas of tech and finance
• Understanding what makes someone right for a particular opportunity
• Building relationships that can last throughout someone's career
• Working with experienced recruiters and learning from how they operate
• Taking responsibility for your own results as you develop

It's fast-paced. It's target-driven. And some days you'll have to pick yourself back up and go again.

But that's also what makes it rewarding.

What makes Hunter Bond different?

We're not interested in putting you through a generic training programme and then leaving you to figure everything out.

You'll learn on the desk, with real people and real opportunities , while having experienced recruiters around you throughout your development.

You’ll also have access to specialist markets that give you the chance to build knowledge that is genuinely valuable.

And if you’re good at it?

You can progress quickly.

We don't believe someone should have to wait three years for a promotion simply because that's how the structure works. Your progression is based on your performance and the value you bring.

And then there's the money...

Recruitment is one of the few careers where you can start with no industry experience and still build significant earning potential relatively quickly.

At Hunter Bond, our commission is uncapped and can reach up to 45% .

The better you become, the more you can earn.

No ceiling. No waiting for a promotion to increase your earning potential.

Who will fit in here?

We're not looking for a particular degree or a CV full of internships.

We want people who:

Want to win.

You're competitive and like having something to work towards.

Want to learn.

You're curious, coachable and don't expect to know everything on day one.

Want to progress.

You're not looking for somewhere to coast for a couple of years.

Want to earn.

You're motivated by having your hard work reflected in your pay.

Want to be part of a team.

We're ambitious, but we're not interested in building a culture where everyone is out for themselves.

One last thing...

You don't have to have your whole career mapped out yet.

You just need to know that you're capable of more and want an environment that will push you to find out what that looks like.

If that sounds like you, the Hunter Bond Associate Programme could be the place to start.
